Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Just ran into a blatant hacker

Just encountered my first blatant hacker in a long while. It was a Pig who had 0 cool down (she was swinging like she had mad grit, but without carrying a survivor), unlimited instant downs, and she was teleporting around the map while carrying survivors. I know it wasn't her perks because she only had two: Hangman's Trick and Bitter Murmur.

I reported her, but not really sure if that will do anything.

    It won’t. It could end in a ban of course, but they’ll just make a new account and swap IPs using one of many programs to do it all over again. Ironic how even a few Fog Whisperes are sponsored by VPNs…lol.

    These people are unsong heroes as they lay bare a huge issue that subtle hackers could have abused for ages without anyone knowing.

    Now they can abuse it with everybody knowing

    New on the block I see.....

    So MandyTalks afaik responded to a thread about reporting on whether you could get banned for collateral if someone else cheated and it might seem like you cheated and get reported.

    She said "You won't get banned with out evidence" And the evidence is suppose to be like videos and stuff. Meaning that report system is for show and not actually functional. Cosmetic brains Cosmetic report systems.

    I have made i think 3 tickets about cheaters and i think one of them was "we will look in to it further" the other one was "Not enough evidence" And this last one is like 3weeks old. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I think the best course of action is to just ignore it. Bringing attention might only make more people curious about cheating.

    The report system exists to validate a match took place between two parties iirc. More evidence is required by support as the EAC they use doesn't actually save the logs of anything except for the chat- unless something changed very recently- so to verify what happened in-game the bonus evidence is needed.

    Honestly, the logs get saved to your PC temporarily so why they can't just have the logs auto sent over is beyond me (if someone can enlighten me as to why that'd be appreciated).
