I owned this game for long time time and have many hours in. I fricken love this game. It entertains me every single day and is by far the best bang for your buck. And when I come across the occasional hacker I do my part and record and report. But since yesterday i have recorded 14 hackers. In no way am i joking about this. I have all their steam profiles. Now would it be pointless to upload all these vids? And report them? because this is the free weekend and 99.9% of the hackers I caught are probably just taking advantage of the free weekend. .....

    Wew! Sorry to hear this, man. Yeah, for sure they're making use of the free weekend. Hopefully we see a decline afterwords =)

    I thankfully haven't experienced any cheaters so far, and I hope it stays that way. Being up in the high ranks sure helps! Oh, and also! Make sure to wait at least 40 seconds in a lobby before readying up, because the anticheat does a check in the lobby. If it fails to validate, the player gets kicked ^^

    Sorry I misspoke. In looking at time stamps it was 4 days of recording 12 hackers not 2 days

    Not to mention :
    They are actually working on giving perks to newcomers level 1 characters and make a new tutorial. But they did choose to make a free week-end BEFORE, which is very questionnable;

    speed hacks always speed hacks. And there is no question about if they were running hacks or not.

    Hackers are out of control on this free weekend.

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions and Megs.

    This. Along with a bad new ranking system and rank reset this is a horrible time for new players to start. It's either a baby creature or a Doc with UR add ons that came correct for baby survivors

    The rank reset? That was nearly two weeks ago.

    So it follows that it's not affecting the free weekend players and now's as good a time as any. Rank Reset mania lasts for a few days, a week at the most. By now, the people still at Rank 20/19 with the newbies are the people they'd always be playing with. It's not like they're running up against recently-demoted red rank elites.

    Personally I'm trying to do my part in welcoming new players. As killer If i notice people clearly brand spanking new to the game I immediately tone down my skill, where I still hook and down them, but maybe I miss my strikes a bit more or get looped really easily or forget I saw someone attempting to hide. Then I hope to chat with them.

    That said I do hope people enjoy and pick up this game, is such an amazing game and I'm thankful it exists. But that's me coming from a horror movie fan background.
