Not sure if more ppl of the support got moved over to BFV but the state of hackers and cheaters in BF1 is absolutely ridiculous at this point. Reporting them multiple times doesn't seem do anything, I see the same hackers in games 2 weeks later, still aimbotting and cheating like it's nothing.
Some with the obvious level ~10 accounts, some with level150 accounts... same deal.
How is there still no Votekick option implemented in this game? Why on earth does reporting require you to do 6 steps, this enforces the "Let's just hope some other guy went on to do that, can't be bothered right now" mentality. The game is in such a sad state at this point. Out of 4-5 Operations at least 1 has a hacker..

I reported suspicious players but I haven't received any result or notification.
And there isn't in-game vote kick. So depressing. Please do something.
They don't actually get around to real cheaters either. I recorded a guy standing in the middle of the bridge on argonne, as a medic, ressing people on his team around the entire map. They were teleported to him and dropped from the bridge when they got ressed, he just stood there spamming it. at the same time, the "spotting" animation was playing constantly, cause the same cheat just kept auto-spotting everyone on the enemy team, just while standing still on the bridge while ressing people.
Reported him with the video evidence, nothing happened.
Even if cheaters DO by some miracle get caught multiple times, enough to get a permanent ban, it costs them all of 5 dollars to make a new account. So the cheat detection is ineffective, the punishments are light (you have to get caught several times to get permabanned), and the cost is cheap.
Nothing to really deter cheaters from cheating.
There is a reason rented servers in bf4 used Bf4DB, the community run anti-cheat database, rather than relying on the official anti-cheat from EA. Sadly, servers are so restricted in bf1 that the community cant do that anymore :<
BFV is good at the moment, no frame drops, my latency is reduced from 112 to 84 on 5Ghz wifi .. still not sure if I need to preorder since I have it on Xbox but controls on Xbox seriously sucks.
I just ignore it if I spot cheats.
Why get fed up and let people like that take away the fun is beyond me.
And if it does bother you, just report them but don't make a drama show out of it.
In the report sent, told EA there is no control on cheats and this effects my decision to purchase BFV, EA responded immediatelty with email confirming an investigation and eventually the cheater was banned.
If just a bad loser and keep reporting to EA they will ignore you.
If you not sure put the effort in spectating and recording a video, make certain on your hackusation.
You can use a free app like shadoplay to record the hacker. Then only rwport
If more of us do this reporting properly, we can clean out this vermin infestation.
Hacking seems to have increased significantly in the last couple years
55/2 would be probably suspicious in 10 minute TDM match...
Still, if you have suspicion re possible hack, go to spectator mode, record the dude, report to EA giving them link to video. DOes not guarantee ban, but may help (hopefully).
