Yo BHVR, Any Plan for an Anti-Cheat?
Last four games I just played in SoloQ, every single match had a Surv that was cheating and "escaped" the match with 5 gens to be left. At least two of them 99% all the gens on the map before dipping, so the game was cut short. Also in one of them there was cheating wraith who was blatantly cheating, despite the game being a 3v1 at 5 gens, felt the need to cheat because he was still loosing the match.
So uh, any plans for a functional anti-cheat? or maybe just remove the DC penalty so people don't have to sit in dogshite matches.

What I learned a long time ago is that if it doesn’t increase revenue or prevent a large number of players from leaving the game, BHVR simply isn’t going to do it. And honestly I don’t blame them because that is the approach any for-profit business should take. Unfortunately for anyone dealing with cheaters on a regular basis, you’re not a big enough issue for BHVR to prioritize. Apparently the problem will need to get a lot worse before large numbers of players start leaving the game because of it.

What's even crazier is that not only do these people have names advertising their cheating discords, but you'd think there would be some auto-flag system for Survs that escape 1 millisecond into the match when no gens, let alone 5, have popped. The same way when those cheating Killers hook everyone so fast that everyone else gets a DC penalty, but oh well, I guess BHVR is focused on their next lame IP to generate sales for whatever flop they decide to develop next.

BHVR is just too cheap for the enterprise tier of EAC. They're honestly probs still using the free version. Another thing to note is that due to when DBD was free on Epic Games and the Xbox store a while ago, hackers made like hundreds of accounts to swap too if they got banned, so even if they did get a better anti-cheat, the hacking problem most likely wouldn't get much better or worse :/

As far as I know, many players have quit because they're fed up with cheaters, but the situation hasn't improved much. Should we ban Linux like Apex did?
One news site reported that after Apex banned Linux, cheaters decreased by 35%, but then they started increasing again.
Honestly, we don't know what the right solution is.

Which is something I don't understand. Even more so, I won't name drop other companies directly, but most game developers when they do deal with cheaters, they say "Yeah, we deal with cheaters but we can't give any details about who we actually banned or why." They literally protect cheaters and hackers identity.
Meanwhile, there is one company that doesn't just ban the cheaters, no no. They threaten to sue them. Then, when these hackers who are totally dead to rights and they also make them issue a public apology to the gaming community. Whether or not they actually take them to court likely depends on how they are actually cheating. Those doing DDoS attacks on the game servers to cause their opponents to DC you can bet are getting felony charges. Again, we know this because the company makes these cheaters do a public apology!
Why does every other game company protect them?0 -
This is the sad truth…
Games are no longer about having a good product, but about maximizing profits.
This approach, have also ensured that i will not buy any other games from BHVR.. EVER.

The thing is there arent any good news there will be something done against them which I find strange.
Guess I will have to play blight who is number 1 killer that can kick cheaters butt but with the instaheal pick up cheats even he is short here and I fear this wont be better, for now the future of this looks like it will require you to have cheats to be able to play it normaly because solid part of player base will be cheaters.
