Too many cheaters (hackers) in Asian (S. Korean) server
30~40% of the matches, there's at least one cheat program user these days in Asian (S. Korean) servers. People have started recording and posting these matches on Youtube. Cheaters (hack program users) started appearing more often as Chinese users started using VPN to cross over to S. Korean servers (this is another problem on its own and I will not go into it any further).
So these hacks consist of speed, attack speed, instant heal, esp (location), using any/all perks (more than 4, the amount a survivor/killer is supposed to bring into a match), instant escape, flying, and pretty much anything you can think of.
I'm a rank 1 survivor and a rank 6 killer and cheaters (hack program users) are all across the rank, but mostly in the upper ranks.
Reporting them at the end of every match has its limits as I've reported hundreds of hack users for the past month and yet nothing seems to be being done. This is a cry for help to the DBD community and the devs.

Reporting literally does nothing and is thrown in the trash if you don't give them a video. So you basically need to have a dedicated youtube channel and stream or record 24/7 to report a cheater.

Reporting in-game for this kind of offenses is not enough, video evidence is required, since you need to prove they were actually hacking, evidence that can be sent to Support here: https://support.deadbydaylight.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
That's not how it works, you don't need any of that, as long as you have an NVIDIA card on PC you don't even need other programs to record your games, you just need to use the replay system built in the card and on console there's literally a share button to record the game.

Sadly they don't seem to do very well against hackers, I still encounter a hacker in West us servers who is kinda popular for some reason, same hacks and even other ones like infinite stun hacks.
Maybe one day they will make it actually hard for hackers to stop but sadly any game can be cheaters and if they fix those there will be more later on and so on.

I keep running into the subtle speed hack one. Everyone else will seem normal appart from 1 or 2 survivors who perfectly mindgame everything i do and seem to gain distance after every corner.

It is weird, but sadly I doubt they will do anything to fix with the hacking issues.

That one is very annoying. I prefer the blatant hackers, at least I can just go stand in a corner watching YouTube.
The speeders are also often a waste of time to report because the video can be deemed inconclusive.
I had a Jake who had that, but I ended up reporting him for extra perks and infinite exhaustion instead, when he dead harded twice in 20 sec and he had 4 perks none of which was DH. And he even dead harded for memes because I wasn't even close. Sadge.

It's ridiculous that for speedhacks the process is to record it and then have someone watch it and try to determine by sight. If a player is moving at a speed that doesn't make sense in regard to perks/add-ons/bloodlust etc it should be automatically flagged.
