Cheaters are out of control. AGAIN

Is it really that bad for you? I haven't played in a couple days but before that it was fine for me. I would get the occasional gaming chair enthusiast but not regularly. Whatever they did, they improved the situation dramatically.

Same. I wonder if there's a region where hacking is more popular/prominent.

I play on Nintendo Switch with crossplay on. 98/100 matches all the Survivors have a globe. No Way to tell if they're PC or another console unfortunately. I do avoid anonymous though, even if I'm playing Survivor.

I just had a match with a speed running Yui who could blind me multiple times even though I always run Lightborn. Bloody Partystreamers were offered so I just farmed. Unbelievable.

Im not saying cheaters dont exist, its just people are just obviously exaggerating the amount of cheaters they go against in posts like these. Some times even describing a scenario where cheats were most likely not in play but they were outplayed so theyre hoping they were just for an excuse.

"Im not saying cheaters dont exist"

I wouldn't say "out of control", but I have noticed a significant uptick again, on both roles. Encountering multiple killer cheating bots that just instakill everyone and spam their websites in post-game chat. Had survivors finishing gens instantaneously, blinding while looking away, "subtle" speedhacks, the works. Wallhacks are popular all around, and you cannot really conclusively prove someone is using them from a third-person perspective, no matter how blatant it may be.

But I have long given up hope that people that really want to cheat will be prevented from it. I know about players that have admitted to cheating years back, and they are still playing on those same accounts. EAC is not good, and "subtle" cheaters won't get banned through manual reports. A replay function in DbD would be great, and not only to more readily and conclusively be able to report cheaters. But even that seems impossibly unlikely.

Came here looking for validation that what I have seen is real. Tonight 4 matches 2 were cheating. I caught one team flying around the map behind walls but I saw enough in chase to see how ridiculously fast they were going. They also love to Tbag which is just sad.

Behavior isn't going to do anything about it. In another forum there were links to where you buy them. I'm on console but I was amazed you could get insane cheats to basically own the game for under $10.

I just don't get it, you're not being challenged at all. There's not a game best player ranking system. So why even do it? I get there's no risk but you are admitting you suck at the game and had to use cheats because everyone sees it. Plus when a team does it... Lol come on really? It's pitiful to see players run into closets through a wall.

Listen you want to use cheats whatever, Behavior won't stop it just don't be an ahole and act like you're that good, you aren't and yes we know you use cheats. I'd have more respect if you just did your part and left the game instead of gloating. If you cheat save some face do your gens and leave. Have some respect to get me out of the match as quickly as possible.

I started recording it using medal, but im pretty sure that you cant post it here, because of forum rules. I had one banned recently, but the time i need to put into one report holds me from reporting it 5/6 times, its a very "clumsy" report system.

Just got forcibly kicked & leave penalized in a 3k game proceeding to hook the last survivor (who was a very cocky Nancy with empty Steam account btw), I can tell it was not a sudden server issue because server-wide troubles don't apply leave penalty and it happened right at the moment I began the hook action.

Hide the names with a video editor like I did and AFAIK there should be no problem. If you don't have one, Davinci Resolve is free to use and there is plenty of tutorials in youtube for it.

And yes, I agree that cheater reporting is time consuming and even confusing, as I have seen some devs and mods say that sending video proof is optional, while others said that it is the only reason for reporting where it is needed to open a ticket and send video proof.

But, at the end of the day, if we want to get rid of them it is the only thing we can do at the moment.

The Dbd Leatherface was using the TCM chainsaw to start up faster.

I do record clips of my games, if they have cheaters, but as i said, we are not allowed to post it here and i when i was a killer main i didnt have the recording software, the one i use now is something my son showed me.

hey we got a new person love to see it are you a surv or killer main or are you like me with a bit of both and no bias

I hate to say it, but there isn't much that can be done about cheaters, simply put, the code for the game is out there, code to bypass eac is out there, the client developers won't have a change of heart, really all you can bank on is that the cheaters themselves will run out of accs and won't be able to afford more copies of the game, but that is unrealistic due to a few ways to play the game without paying.

You gave visibility to the problem, avoid someone saying that you are claiming there are cheaters in the game because you are high on copium, and maybe making it more public BHVR decide to forget their CU index and start banning more people.

You were the one saying that you can't post videos in the forum. We only tried to help you. If you don't want to do it, it's totally fine.

If you are talking about Steam profile, take in count that one thing is Valve's VAC banning someone, other totally different is BHVR banning a player off their game. The game has it's own anticheat (EAC), with it's own account, meaning that most than probably they would not show as banned in their profile.

Also, you now receive a notification when actions has being taken against the person you reported. They only say the reason and when those actions where made, but at least you know the reporting did something. I received today the 3º one in this week.

This is not a way to approach this, as consumers it should not on us to do extra work to police illegal play.

You'd have to record all the matches, store and curate all your footage, analyze that match across many interactions with the suspected cheater, edit the file for clarity, for confidently, and size, and then finally for presentation. That is way too much to demand for the community to take you seriously.

The game has an issue with this stuff. Its pretty well know, aside from a few people who scream skill issue. If you are the victim and doubt yourself, just throw a few matches via map offerings and try to recreate the events that you think were suspect. Sometimes, you'll see you were wrong, but often enough you'll reduce possibilities until your left with the player did the impossible(they were cheating). I find this sort of reduction more enjoyable than roleplaying file librarian and pro video game highlight editor. And you also get to better understand various game mechanics.

then you actually validate the issue, but I highly doubt you have 10 videos of cheaters all within 1 week of each other

to validate your argument, you'd be the first person in almost 6 years on this forum whod do so
