I don't know how much merit there is to this, but local code execution is a vector for nefarious means. This was posted in a Titanfall 2 Discord.

There are reports of the game crashing for connected clients right now on Titanfall2 Subreddit.

Ha, I literally installed this yesterday to give it a try. Will uninstall and wait a bit, I guess.

I can confirm that the game keeps crashing whenever I get into a match.

they'll have to pull the plug on its servers if it's a massive exploit. wonder if this affects Apex in anyway

God, what is it with Titanfall that attracts the crazies that do shit like this? Is this retaliation from the crazy shit from like last month of people getting exposed for being behind shit like this?

I'd really like to play Titanfall again at some point :/

Gotta wonder at what point EA just says F it, and shuts down the server. When does the cost outweigh the benefit?

So shitty this happened either way.

Is this the work again of that crazy dude that was doing crazy shit with the servers on here and they were a user here and basically outed themsleves before the connections were made? Lol

It should definitely be temporarily taken down until it is no longer compromised.

Titanfall 2 deserves so much better than this.

I still play the MP on occasion but looks like I can't even do that for the foreseeable future.

Wait this was a thing? I remember the TF2 servers were hacked a bit ago but the person responsible posted here and snitched on themselves? Lol.

I can't say if this is legit, but if people are playing Titanfall 2 and the game is crashing, there's something going on. Before Titanfall 1 got completely killed, there was a hacker doing a script that crashed everyone's game in the lobby that the hacker was in.

I don't know how credible this DirectXeon guy is and I've seen zero proof of computers being compromised so this feels fishy to me? Obviously I'm not gonna try it and find out, but idk. Games freezing and crashing doesn't necessarily mean a dude has access to your kernel.

I would still avoid playing the game until there's proof one way or the other but something about this rubs me the wrong way especially since there's already been some shady shit in the titanfall community

This whole Titanfall 2 kerfuffle keeps getting better and better. I wonder what's gonna happen next.

Stinks of FUD. the tf2 situation sucks, but I haven't seen anything serving as proof of this specific claim.

Yeah. Last I heard the Titanfall community completely believed one guy who ended up being the hacker they were condemning.

Shit if this true this really fucking sucks. Hopefully Respawn/EA will come out with a statement sooner rather than later.

We have no actual evidence of this so I'm going to call bullshit as this is my take:
