So now that the Cats out of the bag.
Seems the enemy now knows about this Behavior I do want to say nothing but respect and props to the dev's if the information Choy has been given from these groups happens to be true. I wouldn't see a reason for said groups to be lying about a ban wave; hopefully this solves the subtle cheater issue, at least for now. Good luck in this war Behavior o7

Well that nice but I don't think this will stop them from messing with it again.

I have been out of dbd 5wk or 6wk and this happend?
2 -
Nice
Just 1000s of Epic accounts to go.
7 -
The problem is they gave the game away for free on epic games and people made thousands of accounts to cheat on so no matter how often you ban them, they will return eventually.

It's a start it will hurt those who subtle cheat for sure but there's still a long path ahead but at least it's confirmed Behavior is tackling these things head on and it wasn't too long ago they did a ban wave so to see it becoming more consistent is a good sign.

This is really nice news. I actually spent the time to report a hacker yesterday from console, I'm so fed up with it. A Feng Min was teleporting away each time I got close enough to down her. It took me about 30 - 45 minutes to record the video, cut it, report in-game, and then do the follow-up report on BHVR's website.

Its a start atleast this seems that its gonna be a reoccuring kinda thing though.

I checked the Steam charts for this and the last 30 days people were like why did we lose 2,543.3 players all of them were possibly hackers
9 -
I thought the exact same thing maybe we lost a ton of hackers that's quite possible.
0 -
Now that we got that information it’s probably hackers all those people. This is a good start

Well if this is true then that's really nice to hear.

The subtle cheating is the big one. It's shockingly common and hard to prove.
7 -
Aren't Steam charts monthly and not real time?
0 -
Glad to hear it.
0 -
They update periodically after 30 days but seeing as how we don't know for sure when this ban wave took place I'd assume that loss of players could be cheaters.

Wasn’t that already possible with family sharing on Steam? Or does the main account also get banned if your second account was reported/banned?
0 -
A ban that hits a family shared account also hits the main account.
5 -
"What if a borrower is caught cheating or committing fraud while playing my shared games?
Your Family Sharing privileges may be revoked and your account may also be VAC banned if a borrower cheats or commits fraud. In addition, not all VAC protected games are shareable. We recommend you only authorize familiar Steam Accounts and familiar computers you know to be secure. And as always, never give your password to anyone."
I guess it just shut everyone out. However, the wording does say "maybe" not something more definite like "will".

Glad they hit the subtle cheaters.

Steam charts are hourly. You can view by hour if you filter down to the 48 hour period for instance.
0 -
Yeah, but they count the number of people playing. If an account got zap this month the chart won't refect that player loss until next month.
0 -
The 30-day running average is updated on the fly, not once a month. (You can see it changing day to day.)
0 -
The 30 day average updates every day, it would seem.
0 -
Thanks for the info 👍
haven’t looked into this yet but good to know
1 -
Just saying if an active account is ban, that isn't subtracted from the player statistics at that point in time but needs to be aged out.
0 -
You're right. UE is notorious for being hackable and programmers can find a workaround for every patch a company puts out. It's up to the company to keep up with patching and banning. I doubt this will be the end of ban waves from BHVR. It's going to be an ongoing thing.

Hopefully their will not be a cheater every 4th game.

I literally just got a Speedhacking sadako in my match, so this isnt going to go away anytime soon.
0 -
It was confirmed in the video the Hackers changed the code already.
0 -
######### cheaters
Literally scum

I dont think this matters too much. You can get the game on Key-Websites for a few bucks. If I would get DBD right now, I would pay 4 Euros for it. And would have a few days or weeks to mess with the game.

Mad props to BHVR for this.
It's certainly a big step up from what we've seen in the past.
1 -
This is nice and all, until the hackers end up coming back.

Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what the intention was. Makes isolating cheats easier which in return give them more information on how to detect problems in the future more efficiently. People that were caught cheating on a free account are far less likely to submit tickets/complaints if they get banned which is strategically plausible. MMR/SBMM is also a potentially useful trap because if a certain percent of people have obtained absurdly high ratings they’ve already mark themselves with suspicion.
People that will likely feel a ban the most will be the ones caught cheating on their main account and don’t have a legitimate backup plan.
