Hackers out of control

Ive had many matches lately, specifically in the past 2-3 days where there are hackers running rampant its so blatant that in one of my matches at the end a survivor said yeah they were hacking. Anyone else running into this? Should I not play on the steam client or is console pretty rough too?

    Cheaters have been running rampant not in the past 2-3 days, but rather in the past 9-10 years. They are part of the game now, as the devs refuse to add server-side validation of client actions, since they don't have a reason to do so: the DLC sales are through the roof, in every other game there is a Stranger Things character in the lobby, so BHVR has no reason to fix something that is not broken.

    Just based on my personal experience I wouldn’t say it’s “out of control”. I rarely see blatant cheaters, and my overall results on both survivor and killer side don’t seem to indicate that there are a large number or subtle cheaters (if there are, they aren’t doing a very good job of winning games that they would otherwise lose).

    I’m not saying that the problem doesn’t exist at all, because I have definitely seen it happen at least once a week, but it’s definitely in a small percentage of my matches.

    One thing that makes it hard to believe that this is a “rampant” problem is that nobody who creates these threads ever provides video evidence. If you’re seeing it so often, you should have no problem providing a few example video clips. If we start flooding this forum with cheating examples, maybe that is something that would at least make BHVR start looking at the problem. But like I said, I don’t think it’s as widespread as some people claim.
