Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

You guys can implement a System that detects if someone dies too early but not obvious hacking?

Hey I find the idea of a "go next" prevention System that detects when someone tries to skip the round good but...if you can build in something like that why are there so many obvious hackers? I'm not talking about subtle cheaters who make themselves 5% faster and who have wall hacks. I speak about the big obvious stuff like running twice as fast, not having a hitbox, healing in like 1-2 seconds, doing a gen instantly and stuff in that direction. Why is there not a System that detects stuff like that and instantly bans the Player?

    The player base will then probably shrink by 60%.🤣

    so here's the thing. one time when i was using overcome my character bugged out for the entire game and i never lost the movement speed buff. and the longer i ran the faster i got. it was just a bug. i've only experienced it one time ever and never saw it happen to anyone else. but it happened to me. your system would likely ban my account. lol

    I am reminded of the Nurse cheaters a lot of us encountered, who had the entire team hooked in the basement within the first 30 seconds of the match, so fast that you got an AFK penalty for dying so fast lol.

    Yet EAC didn't have any problem with this at all lmao 🤦‍♂️

    You’re appealing to ignorance. They DO have a system that does JUST what you’re saying. The issue, is that the cheat devs get a say in the issue too. These cheat devs are just as skilled, if not more so, as game developers. They develop these cheats to be injected into the game code undetected and then the game just assumes it as part of its code, rather than something that’s not supposed to be there.

    Game devs will patch in a fix, and the cheat devs will code another work around. ALL multiplayer games face this issue. Give some grace to the devs, don’t be ignorant.

    I remember getting reported by someone years ago for hacking for this kind of thing. I think it was before overcome existed though. I was zipping all over azarovs resting place. I gave him the kill in the end too. Still moaned about me "hacking".

    I didn't even repair gens or run the killer. I just ran around at super speed from about halfway through the game. He lost the game that was basically a 3v1 as I did nothing and gave him the kill. Still crying in end game chat because of a bug...

    Killers must always be allowed to have fun with bugs and win, survivors must be removed…

    So you saw how good that system worked right? Their coding of anything is just horrible, but that doesnt even matter to detecting cheaters. Cause thats the work of Anti-Cheat to do right, not bhvr.

    One problem BHVR faces is that cheaters can force cheats on other players. They can force other survivors to auto unhook themselves, instantly drop off a kilers shoulder, and so on. They need to avoid getting innocent people banned even if it means being less effective at getting rid of cheaters. Thats why they say they need video proof - they need to see the cheaters use in context.

    I remember that happening to me once.  I went against Chucky and one of the teammates was a hacker.  Whenever Chucky downed me, the teammate was able to flashlight save me every time without fail from all the way across the map.  So to the Killer, and perhaps anyone watching, it just looked like I had infinite DS even without being hooked.  I eventually figured out who was hacking when I saw the teammate crouch by me and then disappeared, and then the endgame screen showed them with two of the same add-ons on their medkit.  The Killer ended up DC'ing, and I felt bad for them, because they literally couldn't do anything.  They probably thought I was the one hacking, and they'd be right to think so, because it really did look like I was hacking, even though I wasn't.  I saved that match on my Twitch, but I'd probably get in trouble if I shared it here…

    The hacker was also a streamer, and I recorded their vod from their perspective as well.  They were using every hack known to man.

    Well, to be fair, the “go next” prevention system has been a total dumpster fire, so it’s not surprising that the anti-cheat is also a total dumpster fire.

    DBD is a game that the code will just decide one day to have a GENUINE meltdown for no reason


    There have been several instances where a perk or power bugs out and lets the user constantly move at incredibly high speeds (someone here mentioned the bug with overcome from awhile back) and sometimes just lagging can break exhaustion perks and powers so its too much if a gamble to have a system that detects that when the game breaks so consistently

    The go-next prevention was literally just a timer. "If survivor dies before x amount of time has passed, then they must have done it intentionally."

    Clearly they couldn't make a system for that. At least not one that actually works.

    I mean surely they can implement something for the nurse and spirit thing I have seen. They cant AOE attack anyone so if it registers a hit faster than what is allowed by the game on multiple different survivors

    Obviously this is just for the machine gun cheat that we see but there are others they could tailor to specific common cheats to immediately make them not a thing anymore.
