Cheating

Why is cheating so prolific in this game? Do the devs actually ban people using cheats? I'm tired of infinite medkits and flashlights, instant healing, Sonic the speed crawler, wall cheats, aimbot, map cheats, slight speed cheat where they just so slightly move faster than you, and super flashlight. The game is falling apart. The devs got their money I guess so all they'll do is throw in random killers, buffs, and nerfs to try to keep people playing. I liked this game, I did, but every match it gets harder to bother trying. I stopped using add ons and items at this point.

    They do ban them but from the not so smart move of releasing dbd free on Epic Games for a week allowed scripters (yes I say scripters cause most of them literally just buy their hacks) to make hundreds of accounts for free.

    The saddest part is that you are talking about obvious cheaters.

    I am pretty sure I face subtle cheaters every couple of games considering how some of my latest matches have gone...

    I try to record them but nothing gets done even if I do. And I can't record every single match in case I might face one. I report them on Steam too if they're playing on Steam.

    Same here, I've had multiple instances where I've been in chase and the survivor is running just fast enough to stay ahead, with occasional (impossible) bursts of speed. They're trying to hide it, but not very well.

    There is to many subtle cheaters cant catch them with 4.6 killer in str8 line i had to dc multiple times because of that like playing killer is not hard already i hope something will be done about that.. if they dont hide it to look "good" at game i would not mind it just go to next one but this... Gets me really mad really mad.

    its not like they have done soemthing to improve the security.

    the devs and mods are not GOING TO DO ANYTHING about it, so deal with it.

    believe me, if they were really serious with this problem, they have already done it years ago.

    good anti cheats are not in the future not to be able to buy a good one.

    CHEATERS WILL STAY HERE IN THIS GAME.

    The effort needed by you to get a cheater banned in astronomical compared to other games.

    YOU need to take 10-20 minutes+ out of your time to record, upload and fill out a form with your details, links and the offenders details.

    The EPIC launch gave people a chance to make hundreds to thousands of free accounts because someone thought that was a good idea or got paid a hefty sum of money to do it. This makes the time you take getting someone banned essentially pointless as they can just hop on one of their free accounts and keep going like nothing even happened.

    I do remember a dev stream where they said they would do something about it.

    Well whatever it is they either didnt implement it yet or its not working.

    The things i have seen that cheaters can do....mind boggling.

    Whats really frustrating is that is you play on PC and you have someone cheat on an Epic account, you cant properly report them because you cant see their profiles.

    Oh and a small suggestion "if" a dev catches this. Maybe implement a function that the game server shuts down 5 mins after the endgame collapse timer runs out not 2 hours.......please?
