Cheats \ hacks

(BaggerMan) #1

Just wondering what you guys are doing to combat the hacks that are already out there.

I’ve already come across a couple of sites that offer them, and people are clearly using them.

Thanks,

We are working on improving out anti-cheat solutions to pick-up and prevent more hacks.

For the time being, please report specific hackers to Nexon at customersupport@nexon.net, ideally with some video evidence from spectator. From there we can do some investigation ourselves to verify the reports.

While we’re still Closed Beta, we can ban players we find hacking on servers and they’ll have a hard time getting back in. I believe over 50 hacking accounts have been suspended already.

Before we go open, we know we need to be much better at preventing hackers and have in-game reporting systems since players will be able to keep coming back.

And that’s another reason why unlocking ranked matchmaking only at level 7 is probably a good thing… At least it makes their live a bit harder if they want to cheat in ranked.

Also I wonder if you could explore tools like fairfight from Battlefield, which analyses performance on the server to identify potential hackers. Banning people based on this data alone would probably be too harsh, but using it as a basis for investigations could be useful. It would be perfect if the server would record replays of suspected cheaters so support could investigate those, but of course that would require replay support in the first place…

It’s going to be a tough fight in any case, so tackling it from as many angles as possible is probably advisable. :slight_smile:
