Is China Region Locked?

[kerawinters]

It's very important for us Southeast Asia players that China is region locked to avoid most cheaters from ruining the Multiplayer. Speaking of cheating, does this game has any Anti-Cheat at all? World War Z had none and players could modify their levels and unlock every weapon.

First, it isn't only a specific bunch that cheat. I've seen cheaters from all countries. Second, we don't know. Can only hope the developers do include anti cheat or at least have a reporting option.

You don't live in Asia. You have no right to speak for us. I doubt you've seen cheaters from all countries. If there's no anti-cheat in this game, I will not pre order.

You dont even seem like you would even buy this game, you have one game on Steam..... Lost Ark. So what interests you about this game's MP? Thou you do seem somewhat focused on potential Chinese cheaters(thou they arent the only ones to cheat). And yes anyone can give their opinion or even ask questions, because you posted it in a Steam discussions forum. Dont pre order it, Im not sure what kind of statement that is making... I have my doubts you would even buy it at all.

My opinion is your opinion is invalid. While China is not the only country that has cheaters, they are well known for being cheaters in competitive games.

World War Z released on the Epic Store as an exclusive. I leveled up without using cheats only to encounter people who modified their files to skip the grind and unlock every weapon. The fact the developers completely ignored this exploit made me quit the game.

Why am I interested in the Multiplayer? Khorne Berzerker.

Do you want to at least make the first part of your reply make sense? But hey dont buy the game, just play Lost Ark and enjoy.... Where there isn't at all problems. Before you might wonder or comment on, I have nearly 2k hours in Lost(PoS)Ark, I know the PoS game it is.

I'm hoping this game has some form of anti-cheat, or effective cheat-detection.

After coming from Red Dead Online, a game which was completely ruined by cheating, I'd hate to see something similar happen here. :(

That doesn't even make sense. At all. Even if you come from another country. The only kind of person that would say something like that is someone who is very, very , very weird but not in a good way.

Hopefully, if it has anti cheat it's not a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ kernel level one like in HD2. I'd settle for VAC. I'd still buy it even if I t doesn't have anti cheat if the campaign is good. 2024 is yet another garbage year for games so I can't afford to forgo a good one if it misses a feature.

What a thoughtlessly rude, hostile, ignorant and obnoxious response.

There's cheaters here in merica ... But yes China has more population and gamers compared to merica, so there would be more cheating from chyna

I wouldn't mind the region lock, but not because of cheating ... But because of latency issues

For someone like you who spreads rumors and deliberately smears a specific group of people, I would like to ask how much money did the CIA give you?

Nothing will ever get rid of Cheaters. There are always ways around Anti-Cheats and Region Locking.
