Cheating has ruined PUBG for me

Until this happened it had a very valid place in this discussions
I get what you're saying but I don't think it's an issue if everyone is "handicapped" with the same input method. It'll be fine. I've put 400 hours into the PC version and I'm genuinely looking forward to playing with a controller on Xbox, mostly due to IRL friends finally able to play though.
OT: The cheating has completely driven me away from PUBG, it went from my GOTY to something I never want to boot up again on PC. I'm not entirely confident Bluehole will be able to get a handle on this either.
so an issue that didn't exactly blow up until recently should exclude it from goty discussions? yeah okay
Do you have a link for this? That would be great news if it was true.
A question about Valve Anti Cheat. Could Bluehole or any publisher utilize VAC or is it only implemented in Valve games? I find it does a pretty good job of finding and banning cheaters but I could be wrong. What method is Bluehole currently using, proprietary?
Totally anecdotical, but in 120 hours I have encounteres 2 blatant cheaters plus 3 or 4 dubious 'lucky headshots'. Which I think is pretty normal. You should give it a try :)
Honestly if you pay for a game at any stage of development it's open to be criticized. Early Access is not a shield. Though I don't think they added loot crates in spite of other improvements, they're a pretty large dev team now.
I'm not a fan of region-locking personally, especially directed at specific countries even if the majority of the rampant cheating and account theft is originating from Russia and China. They made their own mess by releasing sellable loot crates without really understanding the negative effects it could have, especially to a game this successful.
Actually I feel like every misstep this game has taken recently is due to the pub/devs not equipped or experienced enough to deal with this much success, especially so quickly.
Cheating is a major reason why I don't play online gaming anymore. Pretty much every single big online hit become a cheating nest sooner or later and if you're up for a serious or comp playing it'll be ending up frustrating and irritating for you. Devs takes little to no effort at all to counter cheating and I doubt they might even encourage it because "it's fun". For that reason online play it's toxic and annoying.
I said this in another thread a long time ago, but cheating is a much larger problem in 100 player games, because you're that much more likely that you'll have a cheater in your lobby. Just 1/200 cheaters means that there's one in every other lobby, and it's very likely that you'll encounter them if you're a semi-decent player because of how the decent players always converge and meet one another.
If you're consistently top 10, expect to be killed by a cheater every few games.
We've yet to see any cheat detection systems that can combat this. So it'll be interesting to see what Bluehole do.

I think they can exploit glitches and stuff but I don't think there is any way to use a cheat program on a PS4/Xbox One.
The cheaters are so bad in PUBG that I refuse to play it now.
It's almost borderline unplayable right now. Bluehole needs to do something.

Only thing I play online multiplayer for is Overwatch and it's mostly abusing glitches to get into favourable off-map positions and become invulnerable, though apparently some players also use DoS attacks to disconnect enemy players (I think it requires you to have accepted a party invite from them). Seems like a lot of effort tbh.
Not to the extent that you can download programs like PC but Overwatch has been overrun with mouse users and this game will likely have a ton of mouse users too.
I seriously doubt this will be achieved if true especially considering the base models.
I tried to find the source, but I could not. I believe it was on twitch when they streamed the Xbox version... But now, I ain't sure.
Fair enough, I have my doubts with that CPU tbh. Maybe they'll leave it unlocked.I tried to find the source, but I could not. I believe it was on twitch when they streamed the Xbox version... But now, I ain't sure.
Atleast Russians play on their servers, Chinese feel the need to play only on NA.
It's still my personal game of the year. It's the game I've played the most and had the most fun playing even with its issues.
I don't play PC, but this is exactly the reason why I disable Crossplay on any game which tried to match me with PC.
When they enabled crossplay for Gears 4, I was like this is amazing but after a few days I came across pc players who would headshot me with the Markza everytime I spawned while doing raping movements - I then proceeded to google 'gears of war 4 aim bot' and saw the download link!!
PUBG isn't crossplay is it?

This was the straw that broke the camel's back last night. This was the third game where fishy shit was going on. I would have had more footage of him taking out multiple entire 4 man squads within seconds but I only started recording after that.
If it is they're likely to have an option to segregate.
Sorry.
They're banning the hell out of players but they really have to find a better way, something that proactively takes out the players instead of after they ruin the game for tons of people and then get reported.
I loved cheating/trolling playing Arma when I was a kid, looks like things haven't changed that much.
They'd put me in a ring ring ring banana room for a minute but it didn't help. :D

I don't think its any worse than any other big budget PC game but it's more glaring because you are playing 1vs99 as opposed to 4v4 so you are more likely to encounter a cheater in any given match.
How big is the internet cafe scene in Russia though? Internet cafes are a large part of some areas of the world not giving a crap what region they play on, like people from Peru in Dota 2 checking the box of every region.
And people still dont understand why people pay a ridiculous amount for PS Plus and Gold. It took me YEARS to swallow it. But in the end, the most marvelous thing your paying for, is paying for a cheaters free platform. I hope the X1 version of this game will be succesful.
Yeah that makes sense. The one obvious cheater I saw was zipping around in the sky whilst everyone was dropping in, killing everyone with a single punch, It made me laugh. Looking forward to playing again anyway, hopefully EU isn't that bad.
The vast majority of players is from ChinaThe "vast majority" of the cheaters are from China:
Lmfao this has nothing to do with online being paid or not.
I said it before, I say it again. Having PS+ or XBL Gold doesn't mean squat for the security of the titles. The Xbox 360 was blown wide open and was full of hacks, but you still needed Gold to play online. The Wii U's online services were free and remained cheat-free until the system was compromised.
Whether you're paying a fee or not doesn't determine the security of the system, nor the response by the developers once the system is breached. What you're looking for is not "free vs. paid", but rather "open vs. closed" platforms.
Well, a part of me make me feel paying give them ressource to prevent their system being cracked. If Microsoft in the past was not paying attention to this, im pretty sure now its way more secure than it was, and the money we put in gave them ressource to make it the most secure possible. No system is perfect, but im feeling more hack free on consoles. On PC, it always seem to be free for all. It might be more as you said open vs close platforms, but if companies, even Nintendo in the future, will charge a little something, its not just for the profit, but for keeping online gaming part safe.Look one title on PC that try to be the most hack free possible, WoW. Your paying for server services. Yes there is bots, but i never experience to see a hacker in that game( ok havent played that game in like 5 years, my point might no longer be valid but.. )Money we put torward these service help. Like im sure they put lots of effort in console so it stay that way. If it was hell break lose like PC, nobody would dig consoles for multiplayer.
I will not be supporting Bluehole by double dipping on Xbox with the game in the state it is on PC right now. I can't believe there's so many people willing to shell out more money just to get away from the hackers. That said, if the game on PC isn't fixed at least I got $30 worth out of PUBG. (I'm sitting at 385 hours right now).
I thought of this too. At least it would help the players on the other servers. I'd feel even more for the Asian players though.

It's not supposed to be a panacea. Every move helps and it's been shown that the majority of cheaters resides in China.
