Why anyone would almost seems beyond me after watching that video. Sure, they can ban people, but there will always be a section of people getting away with it, and ruining the experience.

Cheating has ruined PUBG for me
- Thread starter Haze
- Start date
Yeah, I loved this game, but I just got second place to a hacker (again) and I'm tired of it. Bluehole needs to do something more about this, now. Something drastic. This is how the end of PUBG's growth begins if they don't. For fuck's sake.
That is absolutely not a solution. It's just pushing the problem elsewhere.
I have PUBG and was considering jumping back in. Thanks for the heads up, this saves me some frustration and time. Will wait another month or so to jump back in again.
Where's the cheat here ?
It's not like you guys were 4 versus one. It was a whole team. If it was a hacker why would they have to play hide and seek.
You cant just explain "I lost it must be hax".
I litterally saw only one person in 100 hours of game using that kind of fast speed/wall hack.
OP

Are you serious? It is EXTREMELY unlikely for this player to be this lethal from this distance with automatic fire and for him to be prefiring when someone is in cover before they even peak out.
No one's mentioned the recoil macros but that shit is cheating too.
I think I'll just some other genre to play until when/if PUBG gets fixed.
I've been playing a ton of Destiny 2 on PC. I don't know how much, since Battle.net doesn't surface those metrics, but it has to be more than the 20 something hours I spent with PUBG before getting rid of it. In all this time, I haven't encountered a single hacker on PC. Sure, there are people who use lag switches or aim assist, but that's also present on console. Destiny 2's multiplayer is free on PC.
The problem of cheating on PC vs consoles is not as black or white as you make it seem. It's far more nuanced than "all PC games are full of cheaters". Even if many are, it's up to the developer to do as much as possible to, first, prevent cheaters from cheating and, second, ban those cheaters. I don't feel Bluehole is doing much and some people are oh so willing to give them a pass because "the game is just fun!", "I haven't encountered a single cheater, so it's my experience against yours" or "that was no cheat, git gud".
Yes I am. Multiple times in the video, especially the end where your friend was alone versus the two of them. If there was effective cheat going on, I believe this would've been settled a lot earlier than the moment where they ran to the truck.
What you dont take into account is that they were in hills and may have seen you and just waited for you to be more visible. So yes, I'm seriously saying that, for a supposedly cheater or two being against half of their squad, they're not really acting suspiciously. I call out cheat when guys are pulling impossible tricks.
They had automatic fire indeed (but the scar L, which is really stable, especially with a suppressor). And if they had you in sight for a moment before shooting, well, you get the reason why the person in camouflage was shot down fast.
Are there cheaters in PUBG? Sure.
Are you going to find them in every match you play? Not by a long shot.
There's been very few games where something was fishy, and even fewer where the cheats were blatant.
While it's true they can't and won't ban everyone who cheats, they'll more than certainly ban the majority of the most blatant cheats and cheaters. Some will have private hacks or attempt to be less obvious and of course keep playing. A fair portion I'd imagine will either get banned or see friends get banned and may hold off on cheating.
It's really no different than CSGO or other games. It's just such a huge population and the 'in' thing at the moment.

We see where the enemies are there is no way they are able to see the exact positioning and be able to prefire like that. I don't buy it. The SCAR is not accurate enough to realistically land 8-9 shots directly to the head with no misses, fully auto, from that range. It's extremely far fetched for it to happen once, let alone 2 more times.
People didn't all of a sudden git gud like this over night and people who could possibly do things like this are not going to get matched up with regular players.
How can you claim there's no way they cant see you ? As I said, they're on top of a hill, it's in the 3rd person mode, so they can move the camera freely. As for prefire, some of your squadmates are claiming the user is chinese, could be lag related. Ticketrate and lag are a thing. As I said, if the person was indeed cheating in the way you claim, they wouldn't need to wait for the one on one encounter. Heck, the squad would've been wiped without even being able to land a hit.
OP
OP
I never said they couldn't see us I said that being realistic, i find it extremely hard to believe one can know exact positioning of someone who is behind cover with 100% precise knowedge of where the head will be milliseconds after it peaks up. We didn't land a single hit on this guy. Did you also miss the part where he landed 4-5 full auto shots with 100% accuracy while running?
Edit: also Tick rate would cause a delay in going behind cover, it won't place you in front of cover before you've moved passed it. Come on now.
PS4, Xbox One and Switch are currently unhacked. You can't run unauthorized code on them, so it's currently impossible to cheat on them. All last gen machines (Wii U, Wii, 360, PS3) are currently hacked.
The only "cheats" on the current gen consoles are lag switches that can delay your internet connection at will and the XIM mouse/keyboard adapter. These are external devices. Any other cheats you may find are just abusing game glitches, which the developers can patch.
Subscription fees will not do anything against cheats unlike what some are claiming. The lowlife human garbage is currently laser focused on hacking the PS4, and when that happens all hell will break loose. PS Plus is not going to do anything against them. Xbox One seems to be safe because of lack of interest - not many games for them to pirate as everything is coming to PC too.
What. A. Incredible. Sad. Tool.
Like, these are the users ruining it for everyone out there. Too bad at the game so i gotta increase my walk speed and aim skill so i can chicken dinner even the shittiest of games. Must be feeling real good to have the soulless gratification of winning with cheats.
But hey, i bet he is like ''The game allows it so why not take advantage of it? 10/10 git gud son'' when confronted by it. From a gamer's perspective, GTFO with these people.
They actually do A LOT to combat it if Battleye is to be believed, so yeah.
Given the government imposes such limitations on them its not really strange that they would look for anything to experience ''freedom'' in a more general sense. Even when it means being a shitty cheat in an online game that literally does nothing to their real life situation.
That, and people with dumbass strats. Intentionally staying in the blue knowing that you will die anyways and try to pick people off at a distance that want to avoid said blue is just stupid. The whole point of the game is to stay away from the blue. All it does is piss people off and you will die from it anyways.
That and stream snipers.
They are. It would be kind of counter-productive if they didnt.
I've been playing daily with a friend for the last few weeks and I can't definitively say we've encountered any cheaters. I feel like half of my deaths come outta nowhere so it's impossible to say for certain that the person was cheating. Regardless, I hope Bluehole are able to stamp out the majority of cheating, game will slowly bleed to death otherwise.
Like all other multiplayer games, a good chunk of the player base derive considerable pleasure not from winning but from making other players miserable. That IS their chicken dinner.
So forgoing the goal of the game, not even trying to play the game as intended and ignoring obvious rules just to fuck other people over in a game increasingly getting more terrorized by aimbots and cheaters.
Yeah, i can see now why i dont play online.
yea people who have fun looking to crack video game consoles are lowlife human garbage
this place sometimes lmao
That hasn't been my experience on PC at all - do you game on PC ?
Yeah, some of those cheaters get banned after hundreds of hours... after ruining many, many rounds.
From time to time. But regardless of platform, over the decades I've learned to favour single-player specifically because of the kind of BS noted in this thread.
OP
OP
I still voted it as mine for the game awards (it's not my actual GOTY but it is within the contenders). Even with all the bullshit that popped up in the last few weeks, I've had a blast with the other 300 or so hours I put into it.
Yesterday was the first time I was sure that a cheater got me. Played duo with a friend and one player killed us both with headshots from an UMP while we were driving past them.
Is the cheating a bigger problem in solo matches? Because I almost never play in that mode.
Wish they would not just ban cheaters but put em on cheater-only servers and only give am worthless items from loot boxes.

Cant believe this game is a contender for Game of the year ... fortnite is so far the better und more fun BR game
PUBG ruined PUBG for me. I just don't get it but cheers to the people lathering things like GOTY nominations on it.
OP
OP
It's in my top ten list as well - I thought when it was first introduced the battle Royale setting was pretty novel and exhilarating. The final circle always gets that adrenaline into gear!
OP
OP
Yeah there really is NOTHING in gaming that makes me feel that way. I'm shocked PUBG didn't get an innovation nom.
OP
OP
User was warned for making unproven allegations against a developer
What is innovative about PUBG? Oh you are right - the assets the bought from the store and try to sell to the players as innovative new features like weapons that they just have to implement?
I've only seen hackers a few times, but it's mostly been pretty recent. I still enjoy the hell out of this game and it's still my personal GOTY. I agree with most of the sentiment in the thread, however, that this problem needs to be solved faster. Wonder what the patch last night did for anti-cheat?
its a unique interpretation of last man standing - the pacing and tense build up that leave you with your emotions riding high just havent been matched with any game i've played this year. I think the length and investment in the matches have something to do with it. It's long enough that you when you do have one shot at winning this thing, you're not gonna give it up for anything.
i'd say any game that can stir you like that is innovative. the way it became an overnight success seems the public at large have resonated with it for similar reasons.

The only downside to PC gaming are the cheaters :(
Took a break from PubG for now I will start playing again once the new map is out.

I've noticed that those responses have dramatically increased here since it was announced as a contender for GOTY. It's hilarious. Just look at all the posts in this page going "ugh game is so bad, can't believe it's considered for GOTY!" .
OP
OP
It honestly makes me hope PUBG wins GOTY at the game awards just to ruffle feathers. Am I an asshole? Oh well.
Thankfully i'm not afraid of boogeymen and managed to avoid cheaters just fine in almost 200 hours of gameplay. I'll be fine.
Nah i think we should applaud dumb shitposts about "hurr durr rampant cheaters on pc hurr durr buy a PS4"
Nah.
