    the process is prohibitive. Current GPU doesn't have a built in encoder so I have to run another program to do it. PC can handle it but that should NOT be required.

    It takes too long and even forcing you to create, save, upload video evidence? Yea ######### that

    Yeah, its like we have to do the job

    I encountered a cheater yesterday who:

    - tp on down survivors

    - insta heal

    - insta get up

    - insta flashlight from behind

    - boil over cheat

    -flip flop, power struggle in 1 sec without the perks

    - run accross traps without triggering it

    - runs at 115%

    - unhooks themself safely


    Among other things. And yet nor the game or EAC manages to detect it. Do i even want to bother to report and upload a video for them all ? Its time consuming, unnefective and boring.

    It's bad because BHVR makes it so hard to report properly and not everyone is live recording every game or has settings to capture the entire game from a quick capture setting, it should be as simple as clicking report and typing that it was a hacker to have the game personally reviewed by someone, or they should just add theater mode where you can actually review the games back and send clips of what the hacker does after the fact like having the option to report the footage in theater mode to BHVR instead of being in the after match screen unable to leave if you want to report them the right way and actually have it looked at.

    They deliberately made the report process unreasonable and hard to use to discourage reports.

    or maybe they made it complicated because people in this community report each other over the smallest possible stuff?

    I ran into a number of new cheats this weekend I had never seen before. One match had a survivor who had a very fast medium vault. Had another wiggle out after 3 wiggles. He said Meg was cheating with a breakout effect (perk wasn't equipped). Not sure which of them was cheating.


    Saw a few gens auto completed without proccing tinkerer and one who finished a gen 1 second after tinkerer procced even tho she was alone on the gen with no toolbox, but that's nothing new. I also sometimes hear the stagger grunt from a survivor falling when I'm like in the middle of nowhere. I can only assume the survivors are flying or something.

    The report system might be unwieldy, but as someone who recently started making the effort, I have to say it is very satisfying going to the offender's Steam profile the next day and seeing a big red "0 days since last ban".

    I run into a match were i was blinded without a flashlight, flashbang or anything and for like 15 secs.. Plenty of times, literally unplayable, I had to quit and eat the DC penalty.
