Auto Dead Hard. Long standing issue that has never really been resolved.

Auto Dead Hard has been a long standing issue that has never really been resolved.

Since Dead by Daylight switched to a dedicated server system (from P2P), the game has become much more stable, which I really appreciate. However, after Dead Hard was reworked, this perk started being widely abused through cheating programs, most notably Auto Dead Hard.

The problem is that Auto Dead Hard is extremely difficult to detect, because it exploits vulnerabilities in the dedicated server system. When a killer performs a basic attack, the cheat program communicates with the server, and once it detects a basic attack or a killer power being used, Dead Hard is activated automatically and instantly.

One way to identify Auto Dead Hard is to intentionally swing and miss an attack. If Dead Hard still activates during that intentional miss, then it is very likely Auto Dead Hard.

I play on the SEA servers, and for us players here, encountering Auto Dead Hard has become a common occurrence. No matter how many reports we submit or how many recorded videos we send, players using Auto Dead Hard rarely seem to get banned.

I understand that this is difficult to investigate and address due to the limitations and vulnerabilities of the dedicated server system. However, I would like to ask whether BHVR has any plans or approaches to deal with this issue.

Thank you.

    It should be possible for BHVR to check Server records for suspect situations where a deadhard was activated consistently within within a very short timeframe. But they need time to develop that into the array of checks they do.

    BHVR would need to figure out a way to see how big the problem is first, that should motivate the development of the solution.
    I urge anyone to submit proof they have of this so they can see the size of the problem.
