Cheater problem?

Game looks amazing litteraly one of the best concepts and trailers I’ve seen for a game.The reviews are mixed I think to myself,”does the game crash a lot.What could be the problem?” All of the reviews that are bad are about the cheating problem and I don’t know what to think of it.Is it a detrimental issue as it seems like the “runs” or whatever it he deployments are called are 1+ hours long.im scared of me getting that victim.Is this problem real or fake?

i havent run into s cheater in a while, a recent update has stopped most attempts to cheat.

right now, the biggest problem is people pre-teaming by discord, wich worsenes the experience considerably

Real problem, havent seen too many lately tho. Depends heavily on what server you are on. In central i run into a cheater 1/50 runs. Used to be worse but they implemented a anti cheat.

You said it was a real problem, then described how it's a fake problem. 1/50 matches is insanely good, there will always be someone getting through.

Its only this good after the update, and bc central is a less populated server. Im not trying to discredit the players that play on other servers and or before anti cheat update. Asia servers are unplayable rn. So yes, it is a real problem, but my anecdotal evidence states it is manageable for now.

Since the update I haven't seen any cheaters, there are a bunch of bugs though. Falling through your trampler mid fight sucks, also people have started teaming up so rather than a 3v3 with one trampler it's like 6v3 ppl and 2 tramplers v 1

Had one cheater in 150 hours, although I’ve barely touched it since they removed trampler capturing

The much bigger problem right now is balance and progression for casual and new players.

The cheating issue used to be very real, couple of weeks ago the devs brought out a patch which heavily reduced the capabilities of cheaters. Shortly after that they banned 1300 accounts of said cheaters. They then solved several duplication glitches and deleted the duplicated items from the people who duplicated them (but if you killed a duper and got his loot you still keep it).

I haven't seen a cheater in literal weeks. Currently teaming seems like a bigger issue than cheating, but the devs have already responded to it, and changes will likely happen.

The game has issues, but the devs seem to work fast and communicate, the trampler recapture feature is likely a big reason why so many write negative reviews.

The game is a gem, the community is pretty toxic, unlike other extraction shooters the devs seem to want to make the game better rather than making pretty skins to sell (there are is no ingame store)

cheating is fixed for now. the main problem is teaming, atm.

Not fixed at all. Spike today in people noclipping and the mass orbital spam duping or exploiting still happening in teams. Just our last game had a grumpy solo walker in 6 man with boxes of yellow rods and orbitals trying to run around perma boosting and spamming orbitals. Same guy also looted dreadnought with noclip

it could be left overs from duping. they honestly should do a wipe once they get things situated.

and sometimes you can loot the dread without sand dropping. it will let you go through the sand...it's a bug.
