Hackers getting off scot-free on pc apparently
I've reported a SWF group two months (!) ago which was able to trigger the Endgame Collapse by illegal means merely half a minute into the trial. I made sure to send a support ticket explaining the circumstances as well as a screencap of the postgame-chat as additional evidence to secure their punishment.
TWO MONTHS later I received the notification that nothing was done about the issue simply because I didn't have a recording tool running as an ordinary pc player. Doesn't BHVR keep records of matches on their servers? How can you explain this blatant injustice?

That's why I gave up reporting on ps4.

You need video evidence to accuse someone of a crime. It's called innocent until proven guilty. How are we supposed to believe your claims without video evidence. Could lead to false claims.

Logs are a thing that should exist and that support should have access to.

Do you expect regular people who aren't even streamers to keep a recording tool running all the time just for the slight chance of encountering a hacker? What is this insanity? Doesn't BHVR keep track of various data from games? That's how they create their stat-sheets after all. How hard can it be to look up that particular game and check if the Endgame Collapse was triggered far too early?
If anything this game is in dire need of a replay feature.

You are right in that regard but still there isn't evidence. Sadly if you are telling the truth they got away with it

They should be able to see that the endgame was triggered early and also be able check other games with the same players. If the endgame triggers super early in multiple games with those same players then either they're hacking or using an exploit. Either way they should be banned.
Chances are however that any sort of logging tool is completely broken and this is not possible.

I have Nvidia Shadowplay which pasively records the screen and when I press alt f10 it saves everything from the past 5 minutes

To be fair, I believe some multiplayer games have dev tools on their servers that, when a match results in an ingame complaint system report, it saves a replay of the match for customer service review. That simplifies the process for the player by eliminating the need for them to manually record their games using third party software.

Actually, if things were logged correctly, that's all the evidence you need, and there's no reason to assume they aren't. Oh, EventTriggerEGC happened 2 minutes into the trial? Yeah, no, that's some hacks. You don't know who specifically did it because for some reason the injected code is completely untraceable? Video evidence isn't going to help, it literally could have been anyone in the trial.
It seems to be a way of making sure that the team doesn't have to hire several dedicated teams to go trawling through every log every single time someone is even accused of cheating.

Me too, it's very usefull, not only for reporting hackers, but to record your plays xD
Seriously, the back-end team didn't tought to archive match logs? They could just create a log in the database with the match id and its data. For example, when gens were done, when game collapse started, when a played got downed, if they had all this data, they could improve their report system and it would be effective. They just don't want to improve because they can, even I can make this, it's takes like one week to code.

I don't record my games. No interest in it. Which, unfortunately, means I also don't bother filing reports with BHVR. I don't understand why they set things up this way. I can file a report in Overwatch, for example, with no issue as they can access the match data that the report is linked from their end. I've gotten several "Actions" against accounts over there. No idea what the action is, I just received notifications days later that the account had action taken against it.

they need reording in game anyway one for thing like this alos some play would love to watch they replays see what they did wrong.

Reporting players for hacking without video evidence? C mon.

Yeah, Overwatch records like your last 12 matches or so (and records over the oldest after that) that we can view in the Replay section on the Career Profile page. Pretty much, if you've seen the Overwatch League broadcasts, we can go in and do that with our matches. Play, rewind, fast-forward, pause, aerial view, first-person view, third-person view, and can watch from the view of any of the 11 other people in our match, too.
They also offer 25 second Highlights for matches, too. And any Play of the Game you get is automatically a Highlight. I'll save those sometimes and post them on social media because my fans enjoy it.
Replays and Highlights are automatically wiped clean whenever there is a game patch.

It's called ######### telemetry, they should have logs of literally every game in the form of text that can be replayed back to them using a replay system. Literally kilobytes of data to be able to examine every match in extreme detail. But no, the protection against cheaters is relying on average players to record their games like it's ######### 1994.

replay system is for this actions and more and more, perfekt... this is why we need a replay system !

yea street fighter V got recording most fighting game do so we can rewatch them.
sorry for all the typos it 114 degrees where I'm at next killer the sun.

BHVR doesn't record matches. They can't tell what occurred in a match which is why you must record for reports. I believe this is due to the fact that recording matches takes lots of storage and an interface that they simply couldn't set up with the game's current messy code. However, hackers don't usually only hack once. Right when something fishy happens, be sure to start recording (Win + Alt + R on Windows) just in case. For those that do only hack once in a match, it's really only streamers who can catch them out.

I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm just say ooh ng right now they cannot be caught due to no evidence whatsoever. If the dev's do not have logs of the game and you don't have video evidence you are kinda screwed.

It's BHVR, you really think they're going to put in that much effort to input a replay feature

Cheating reports do NOTHING. The company wants us to record our games, to prove what happened. When instead a server admin WOULD go back and check server logs. Guess what. They can't. This game doesn't have a built in system that allows for a person to view a match. it is very obvious.
Someone just doesn't ask for another person's footage of a match unless they have zero way of spectating the entire match. Infact one could edit and splice fake footage and send it in. (rip).

One time I recorded a hacker, uploaded the video to Youtube and set it to Unlisted (only watchable if you have the link).
It got zero views.
To be fair there were two videos for the report I made, and the other one did get views, and maybe that one video was enough, but it still looks pretty bad when the video evidence that is required gets ignored.

I reported a no mither nea that instantly revived upon down and even flew around the map at one point. Played with her 3 days later.

PS4 has a recording feature that captures the last 15 or so minutes, though. Save the footage if you catch someone in the act, report the perpetrator(s), upload the footage to youtube unlisted or something, and then include the footage in the report ticket.
