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.

Can you introduce some basic sanity checks to stop the most blatant of hackers, BHVR?

Stuff like sprinting faster than a surv should reasonably be able to go given their perks, or getting up instantly with no perk that would let them do so. This shouldn't be rocket science.

    Yess i commented this on another post about hackers.

    surely they can add something that detects when people are doing stuff you physically cant achieve in normal gameplay.

    That would be nice but I think the game being as buggy as it is would cause people to get banned for things out of their control.

    And as far as I'm aware BHVR is completely nuclear when it comes to bans, everything is permanent & nobody gets a second chance.

    All it would take is 1 bug where Blight inexplicably retains his rushing M/S because an add-on is broken & hundreds of people lose their accounts. 😨

    Do you honestly think that they wouldn't have thought of this already?

    The reality of game development (and especially anti-cheat development) is probably more complicated than you realise.

    Server side validation is really not that complicated. I'm sorry, but it's just not. The absolute minimum that would catch like 99% of DBD cheating would be to log player state/positions just into a basic text file and then run the simplest of integrity checks on it. You could even run the checks outside the games at a later point. But there is literally no server validation. Or any validation whatsoever. When the client and server disagree on the game state, they shrug and just go with whatever the client is telling them. That is completely insane for any online PVP game.

    And the crazy thing is that we know that they're logging this stuff! They use it to punish people for supposedly 'trying to go next.' But they supposedly can't use it to detect when a game ends in 5 seconds and all four survivors are mori'd. No, that's a punishment for the survivors. You understand how this is absurd, right?

    Tbh this should be a really high priority, I don't know if it's my rotten luck or there is a discount for cheats but I have got 5 blatant cheaters an a span of a week, they really seem to be producing via spores right now. Heck, I am writing this as I am held hostage by 5th right now XD

    I feel like its more of someone advertising their cheats and it might work because some people seem to act on the thing if someone does it to me I will do so to others. One reason why some people claim to tunnel or camp. Only cheater I saw recently was killer bot that literally had the cheating site address as their name. Reported them of course with video.

    Most likely this games cheat buying has slowed down so he now is having an advertising campaign to get more sales.
