PSA For Console Players
Doesn't matter if you have Crossplay Off, PC hackers are still able to get into your lobbies.
Check my most recent stream for a game, I'll try to timestamp it after I'm done.
BHVR, you guys need to crack down on this. It's affecting MULTIPLE platforms now.

Can confirm I was there as a witness. Didn't even think it was possible.

I've had quite a few matches on ps4 with crossplay off where very suspect things have been happening. Have had few perkless or single perk killers somehow finding survivors in places they shouldn't be able to, major lag/odd hits towards end of match when losing... Things that just make you question if they are just lucky or if they are actually hacking.

They are 100% hacking if they are PC when you have Crossplay turned off.

Bro I cant even turn crossplay off on xbox for some reason, even though I really wanna most of the time. Not even just for the hackers. Good to know it didn't matter anyway though.

So even when I turn crossplay off, pc players (hackers) can still end up in my lobbies appearing as they are on my platform? Seriously???
Was this possible before the crossplay came? I don't remember ever facing hackers back in the day.
Now I definitely wish crossplay never happened. This is dumb. I faced like 5+ hackers in the last 15 days, I don't want to see them when I turn crossplay off too.

Yes, it was technically possible.
I honestly can't believe it happens without crossplay too

No they aren't 100% hacking. there is a way to do it that is currently unpatched. I don't think i can say it here though. You don't have to modify and files or anything to do it either. Just a simple oversight.

"I can't say it here, but trust me it's totally legit."
Yeah, sure.

Before crossplay people on console were getting legacy cosmetic players in their matches. Unfortunately being on console doesn't keep us immune from hackers.

That is hardly harmful. But if other hacks happened like the ones we have now (flying all over, insta healing, speed boosts etc.) then I was lucky because I never saw it on ps4 since 2018.
Now it is not even rare, it is becoming normal.

I'm sure other hacks were used at the time, that was just one of the more obvious "look I'm from pc" hacks.

What's your discord? I'll tell you how to do it.

I never encountered any of that, but I have heard isolated incidents of such things occurring very rarely.

Make sure you're in the main menu (the place you can choose to play as survivor or killer) and not in the lobby or the place you actually queue for one.

Yeah. It has happened to me before

I mean, I play with crossplay, so I am stuck with those rodents regardless. But I guess it is good to know that there is no escaping the script kiddies.

Are you 100% sure they were hacking? There’s a bug that happens sometimes that shows someone with a crossplay symbol even when they’re on the same platform. If you search the bug report sub forum you’ll see it mentioned there.

I dunno bro, maybe Head On just got a buff and they brought back old BNP's?
Oh, you can also look at my most recent Twitch stream. The game occurs at about 23:00 minutes in, my Twitch name is PulsarGaming1080.

Well yeah that’s obvious hacking, but from your post I didn’t know if you assumed they were hacking just because they were able to get in your lobby even with crossplay off. You didn’t include a video or any details, so that’s why I mentioned the bug.

Ain’t that some #########

Ye.

Crossplay is irrelevant, it's possible to hack on console, it's not a safe heaven.
It's less likely but still possible, ive seen my fair share of PS4 players with Infinite sprint burst speed and the likes.
The real issue is more of BHVR not doing much about it.
