More cheaters banned every week

[Aimar]

it started being 1100 bans, then 1300, followed by 1700 and now 2200? if the system is working it should be less every week. i faced multiples cheaters in operations theese days and i'm afraid to go space city because of that...

Waiting for the day i see very low cheaters on lobbies :(

What do you mean it should be less?
Its an ongoing action, and more player activate the cheat alternativly more players get reported..be glad the numbers are rising, that means MORE are getting banned.

What he is saying is: There are more and more cheaters every week. It's good that they ban them. But the fact that they ban more and more every week, shows that there is a big cheater problem.

Umm there is alot more then that. Here is what they said yesterday.

This week (December 27, 2024–January 2, 2025), our security team took action against 2376 players, imposing bans of up to 10 years. Specific measures included 1394 DMA bans, 1241 devices blocked,5417 cheating attempts stopped in real time, and 15993 players forced offline for cheating.

That's like over 20,000. Basically 25% of the people playing are cheating.

Anyone knows if DF is HARDWARE banning or just account banning?

I mean, if they are just account banning this could explain why the number is increasing each week. Cheaters can create new accounts without any problems.

Hardware bans are way more effective, hopefully they are issuing those!

Not really. Every decent cheat comes with a hardware ID spoofer

I like the concept but the game is just unplayable with the amount of aim bot players.

[llllBigBossllll]

Yup, this game will die because of cheating!

Just pc gaming in general, slightly higher on free 2 play but it has always been the case. Will never stop unfortunately

I just hope consoles will get their own servers. I would rather deal with those few cheaters then the amount of pc cheaters. Plus there isn't to many extraction shooters on console so i think it will do good.

I loved Clean the house

This game is like a toxic relationship, you love it for the gameplay you hate it when someone cheat and you must resist not to come back

It is truly fascinating to observe the list of banned individuals, where the real names are obscured by asterisks, a measure that ostensibly serves to protect the identities of those banned. However, this practice, in its superficiality, can be seen as a mere fig leaf — an attempt to shield both the system and its agents from the potential consequences of their actions. From a psychoanalytic perspective, this anonymity reflects a deeper cultural and institutional need to repress the darker aspects of human interaction. By hiding the banned individuals behind these faceless markers, society attempts to avoid confrontation with the very individuals it marginalizes.

In a Freudian sense, this could be understood as a defense mechanism: the societal refusal to acknowledge the real identity of the banned serves as a way to distance itself from the unconscious guilt and shame associated with such exclusions. It feels like a hollow form of protection, one that both pretends to shield the individual and simultaneously dehumanizes them. To me, this process feels distasteful — not just because of its lack of transparency, but because it reveals a deeper unease about the very idea of exclusion itself.

Ultimately, the practice is unsettling, not because of its intent, but because it reflects an institutionalized aversion to confronting the complexities of human behavior. The asterisks become symbols of a broader societal discomfort with truth, identity, and the consequences of judgment. It is as if the very act of banning is cloaked in a protective veil, as though we are too afraid to face the reality of who we are excluding — and why.

We have literally no evidence to know if these numbers are made up or not.

Extraction mode is not even worth playing in this game with the amount of blatant esp cheaters.
