VPN Abuse

Since we’re focusing so much on “go next” why don’t we talk about doing something about VPN abuse? Killers using this to get an insanely high ping, which gives them an advantage in the game. And it gives them a significant advantage. Why is this not treated the same as cheating? Now we’re being forced to stay in every game regardless of what is happening so if you’re implement something that drastic you damn sure better be fixing the problems that caused this type of stuff.

Just had a match against a wraith with 300 ping. Garden of Joy … vault window, halfway down the side of the house and his window swing hits now?


This is the only game that give somebody an advantage for having a bad Internet connection and killers know this. Using a VPN to gain an advantage is no different than using cheat software. They’re using it for the advantage and nothing is being done about it. But let’s focus on people not wanting to stay in a bad game, right?

I don’t think anything should be implemented to that degree if you’re not fixing the real problems with the game. And allowing people to use a VPN to gain a significant advantage in the game is absolutely ridiculous.

    I agree. I think there should be some sort of penalty granted for constant high pings. I went against a bunch of killers who had 150-200+ ping and their hits landed when it shouldn't have. Unfortunately, this won't be prioritized as BHVR needs to address other issues. But this definitely needs to be sorted out.

    High-ping due to VPN abuse should be looked into, however there needs a system for working out players with high-ping due to bad servers or match making placing them into other regions, otherwise it would be unfair to punish players who are not using VPNs

    Same reason they dont implement server side checks for cheats. "Theyre customers too"

    I agree on that. But knowing BHVR, they'll probably won't implement it. 🫠

    It's annoying how the game doesn't have a matchmaking region setting, because if they did then the bad ping would probably be resolved, not fully but enough so it isn't as bad. And their servers do need improving too, because when the FNAF Test Build got released, the servers got overloaded and just crashed. On both PTB and Live version.
