So we're just ignoring the mass amounts of cheaters?

Y'all sleeping over there? Or just willfully ignoring the mass amounts of people cheating? Obvious wall hacks, speed hacks, etc. Reports don't seem to do anything even with video proof as I run into the players again.

    There are no mass amounts of cheaters. Just the same amount as in every other online game.

    No??

    Then please explain the numbers here, it shows the numbers of banned cheaters from 2016-2022 (officially released by BHVR and you can find it here if you scroll down to the bottom of the page : https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/369 ).



    I would claim that i see farily the same ammount as i did in 2021 and 2022 (and that's only the obvious ones).

    That could simply show the devs cracking down more, rather than there being more cheaters.

    There's also a lot of people accusing killers of hacking as well for no reason...

    But there have to be at least 64k cheaters before they can ban 64k people for it, thats my whole point.

    three things: first, there was an influyx due to free accounts on epic. Second, the more they ban, doenst mean there are more cheaters. third, there are much more activities from bhvr banning for diefferent reasons besides cheating. I have seen maybe a handful of them thhis whole year in my own games and iam playing playing like 3hours per day. Also i dont see more of them in any one of those streamers i follow, differing in all kinds of mmr ranges. those numbers are just due to the influx and the increased actions of banning. there is no mass maount of cheaters. thats already long ago.

    1. dbd in on sale all the time for about 5€.
    2. as i already said, to ban 64k players for cheating, means that there are at least 64k players cheating.
    3. Because there is a lot of subtle cheaters, also the majority i have seen was when i was a killer main, some days there were cheaters in 2 out of 3 games. How am i sure about this? Mirror myers have "wallhack" and you can actually see when people counters your movement, even with a solid wall in between. Also Wraith have an addon that lets you see gen progress, and i saw a single gen do a full gen in 10 seconds, and i had even taken hes toolbox (i guess he used that to cammoflage hes actions). I know he was alone because i had eyes on the other 3. And this is just the subtle ones, there are the ones who are not even trying to hide it. I have had cheaters turn the whole sky into a big lightbeam, that would blind me unless i looked down..



    Not long ago i posted 3 or 4 clips of a cheater, i was doing a mission so i had bond, and it was easy to see everything he did, he chain stunned the killer with the same pallet like 7 times in 2 seconds, he moved ultra fast, he moved outdise the map area to heal up (not that i think he needed to heal).

    I haven't really seen it, bud. I play a lot and cheaters were rampant a year ago or so. Not really seeing it now. Maybe the occassional sus game. But a lot of it has to have been severely hampered.

    People can't handle losing, don't want to practice and get better so they cheat. There is cheats available all over the internet. There are streamers who actively cheat while streaming yet they still have accounts.

    It's becoming more and more clear that the Devs don't care about cheating. Would be nice if a killer could DC w/o a penalty when reporting cheaters. Why be stuck in a match with a person that can outrun the killer (and have no speed perks equipped). Literally played against an Ada who had the adept build, yet she sprinted from gens, ran like she had Made Fort This after being hit, vaulted and had a burst of speed like Lithe. It was crazy to watch, recorded, reported and.... nothing back.

    It is only a severe punishment to be necessary for a selfish person abusing cheat and a glitch.

    I let a game decline, and their existence is annoying to many people

    Not saying there arnt alot of cheaters, I'm just saying that doesn't necessarily mean there is MORE than before. Just shows they are cracking down on more.

    That’s why I screen steam profiles before a game. Anyone who has been banned before = leave lobby

    If I can’t trust the game to be cheater free, I’ll do my own filtering to minimize the amount of potential cheaters I get.

    That was never my claim when i posted the numbers, i posted them because another guy said "There are no mass amounts of cheaters." and I think 64k i a big number of cheaters.

    Some people forget play with your food is a thing but when killer is way too fast on first chase with no stacks then it's obvious there's something going on.

  • LordGlint

    If only that was 64k cheaters... That's 64k accounts. Since they don't hardware ban and simply ban the account, you'll find the same cheaters just making a new account. Having your account banned stings for NORMAL players, but the cheater with speed hacks and Xray vision doesn't care that his perks aren't available anymore.

    I had Save the Best For Last. I got falsely accused of hacking for running a perk and the survivor experiencing a skill issue against a M1 killer.

    Game is full of cheaters atm and they are trying to hide it with mft and hope and other haste perks, literally had a cheater while playing vanity mirror Myers and saw him speeding up behind walls and the guy shamelessly was telling me that it's his perks that gave him the speed boost. He was running MFT, Hope, Distortion, Power of Two he was aware that he could be seen with aura reading most probably that's why Distortion was there but it was easy to get rid of his stacks with Vanity Mirror. He did not heal anyone the entire game for power of two to work cuz I deliberatly commited to him but yet he still had the speed boost I ended up having Bloodlust 3 and still could not catch up to him. I think that the hackers are not using an actual speed boost but just making perks activate without having their condition made.

    It is still AT LEAST, 64k times people have met cheaters, and this is prob x 50 or more ( im not sure how many games exactly they can play before getting banned, but a lot. A lot of people cant be bothered reporting because how clumsy and time consuming it is to report, on top of that, there is a lot that dont have video recording of their games, and no video = no ban.

    Then there is the time from the report and until action is taken, i think it took about 24 hours last time i reported one.

    And then there is the subtle cheaters that dont get reported and can just go on, because people are not sure if they cheated or not, and they also require you to know the perks to detect. for example i played with an swf, and everyone swarmed me to stop a basement hook, and i end up having 4 downs. When i pick up a guy i did not down before, he stuns me and get out of my grasp, also there were no DS debuff icon. If i had been an inexperienced player that didnt know how DS works, i would prob never know that he was cheating.

    I have also been falsly accused of cheating as killer, but some survivors will say anything to make killers feel bad if they loose, even if they win in some cases. I have been accused for both camping and tunneling when i didnt do anything like it.

    I have been made a mocking of when i lost too.

    I have even had cheaters buff me so it looked as if i was cheating, lucky for me i do have video recording of my games, so i send that in to customer service together with my explanation of things, just in case the cheaters tried to get me banned for making me look like a cheater.
