I'm glad BHVR is doing something about the blatant cheaters in this game
So happy to see the survivor I downed with trapper gets back up instantly fully healed and the hacker stops me from hooking any and all survivors.
You did a pretty good job so far on the promised anti-cheat improvements in your roadmap!

This post is satire. Obviously BHVR did nothing.

No need to bump your own post, the sarcasm was noted.

no need for the post if a decent anti cheat were implemented. just saying.

Real.
The giveaway to EGS will haunt this game forever.

What a way to create goodwill with your community by posting this comment underneath a post by a person clearly frustrated by the dismal state of anti-cheat. Echoing the sentiments above, if the company you work for would actually address this failing, posts like these wouldn't be made so often. Real witty.

This was a reminder of the rules; bumping of posts is not allowed. No wit here, trust me.

Yeah believe it or not but cheaters when they are unable to cheat are playing even worse than average clueless Sable main in solo q. If they cannot coke themself up with that 'legit' ~6% perma haste feature they would go down within 5 secs. I remember going against subtle cheater and their speed stopped working for some reason and the chase was literally 5 secounds, and even with that speed i got a hook within around ~20 secs. Imagine having so much potential and barely using 1% to it just to ruin matches for others, that's not only disrespectful as hell to dedicated killers that took a really long and painful time to get better but that also makes killers question their own skill. People that say they never went against cheaters are just casuals playing this once a month in dirt mmr against 4 default dwights that keep running into a walls and failing skill checks 15 times in a row XD

Let me guess it was anonymous Nea and she called you slurs in endgame chat on top of it.

So cheating is not against the rules? Maybe you guys need to deal with that first or else you won't have players.

Is it really that hard for some kinda validation to check if a cheater insta heals themselves with no items or player to help them or if the cheater is flying for long durations and phasing through the map it detects that your not supposed to be there?

No, it’s not hard. It’s inexplicable why BHVR can’t (or isn’t willing) to implement easy solutions like this.

From what I remember, their current servers do not do any "sanity" checks, like looking for impossible speeds or positions etc. and just accept what they receive. And I believe they'd have to purchase the next tier servers that cost wayyyyyyy more to do anything along these lines.

another reason to A) recode the game from the ground up B) switch to a completely different game engine C) make dbd's own game engine to allow for more things to do.
its about time this game at least gets a complete recode because this games code has not fundamentally changed since 2016, iirc most killers are STILL copied from previous ones via code, just visually different (looking at the pig)

also keep in mind that some people really cant tell the difference, so this comment and your previous one are not needed and in all honesty just makes you seem dismissive. if the guy was continuing to make comments under this post with no engagement, then thats bumping your post.

Oh I do wish they would do a recode from scratch.
Aside from finally erraticating many of the long term issues, it would be the opportunity to add in a proper replay system. That would make the reporting much more effective for everything from hackers to bugs, not to mention players being able to watch & learn from their own trials.
And maybe a reconnect feature, stat pages, chat wheel, play around with collisions & hit boxes etc. We can dream right? I believe the code is still 2016 Blueprints with some C++ seasoning on top, plus a partial upgrade to UE5 currently.

And I believe they'd have to purchase the next tier servers that cost wayyyyyyy more to do anything along these lines.
Nonsense. If the servers can handle the game itself, nothing will change if they add some trivial checks there. It's just implementation issue, it would take some effort to rework the server code and keep it from falling apart in the process, all while they have to implement a new killer power every 3 months and keep existing bugs in check. They probably lack staff to do all this and decided to keep it that way.

There should be a category or section on these forums that lets us report Cheaters

Then I geuss they gotta figure out how to do sanity checks with the servers they have

I'm so buying the ST p2 next Tuesday!
I love to support my fav game company that respects and works hard doing way more than they should to make playing this game an amazing experience each match! S2That and the 3.0.0 dev build that was uploaded instead of the regular 2.7.0 (or 2.8.0).

Are they? like what??
All i have seen is that they pump out more DLC for us to buy.
-2 -
even if it was… they pump out DLC constantly, and we keep buying it, dont you think they could afford it, if they wanted??
1 -
There should be a basic server-side validation system that would make such blatant cheating impossible, without the need to crowdsource BHVR's work with manual reports.

I really feel for Killers affect by blatant hackers.
At least with blatant Killer hackers I've experience in recent times is the double swing and jumping over pallets, downing someone hooking them tping to next survivor and the one where everyone gets killed as you are loading in. you die quickly
Killers are legit getting held hostageI've seen people make the survivor they are picking up get stuck mid way and both the survivor (non hacker) and killer are both just stuck leaving two people to do gens
Another common one I've seen is the killer gets stuck in a pallet stun / locker stun, when I see this they either dc or take tons of stuns and slowly get out by wiggling backwards
I've been in a match once where only me and hacker left and they where legit blocking both the exit gates without being there so me and killer could not open them to end the game, I tried to let killer hook me so we could try to end that way and he could not hook me
one clip I saw not personally but online was absurd was a hacker just opening and closing the exit gate and trapping the killer in there like why are the gates even able to be closed again after they are open.1 -
Exactly, but this small indie company cant afford it..

Its pain for both the survivor escaprs this nightmare fast but he still gets notify for giving up or dc which can give them time penalty and for killer its way worse because there are so many ways they can hold you hostage and force you to dc too which can lead to ban too but now there idnt much you can do against cheaters that cant be hooked and can instantly heal and teleport only hope that they wont be discusting and hold you hostage.

Yeah.
The guy I helped during the Anniversary, a friend from work, just recently had a match against a cheater.
And he got banned because of it.
He said he was trying to help the Killer catch the guy who was noclipping and flying all over the place. Someone reported him for working with the Killer or intentional griefing and he got banned.
Safe to say that didn't make a good impression.

Do they ban for this like maybe if you sandbag (with bodyblocks etc. to help the killer) some other survivor whole game and he recorded that than I think maybe but Idk if small helping to get cheater can get you ban like hard to tell if even some devs arent cheaters at this point because they seem to be most immune people in the game (the cheaters) like to problems with anticheat to bans etc.
From my point of view helping killer to get cheater is a huge risk because you risk as survivor that the cheater will make you stuck in endgame in locker or some action so you are held hostage there with the killer (happened to me as bubba where one meg that didnt do anything to cheater just watched was tped to locker and stuck there while i saw her character model in t pose on the map and we were held hostage because endgame collapse couldnt kill her ( I think they should make that after endgame colapse ends the server will shut down and not to reduce server shutdown from 2 hours to just 1 but that would be wanting too much because this change would fix the cheater holding some survivors and killer hostage I believe), at this point its big problem that is still being ignored and i fear it will casue more harm than hardcore tunneling or 4 man slugging epidemy because of many people who liked to play as gods will find DBD and play with cheats yeah it will be something.
My oppinion is that cheater has no rights and so any action in game (except some rasist slurs and death threats, meaning actions in the match not the chatt ones) are legal like sandbaging them to help the killer to get them but maybe some devs have other oppinions on this which I dont see as good thing especialy in this case with cheaters.
1 -
It would be wild to ban someone for impeding a cheater, but simulatenously let them run rampant.
