Are Hackers running rampant?

[KamikaziFly]

Today, at "2023-06-12_14-24-44" MST, I get into a match and while my character is still spinning for match load, I can hear Wesker Virulent Bounding right at me and hits me right before I am released to be able to start moving. I start to putter off in a run, but he hits me again easily after a few steps, and starts to carry me off. I feel this is cheap and it doesn't seem correct that Killer is able to down me before I am able to move so I DC. I'm not letting unfair play work, even if they are hacking or not. He was wearing his Blighted skin.

Whats extra strange is that my video's audio cuts out at 12 seconds left of the survivor lobby load, but I can still hear the audio thru my headset. My video didn't record the sound, and I couldn't get my recording software to recognize my mic.

Even stranger, yet again I can no longer connect to YT to upload this video after this match. This is what happens currently after a hacker uses their software to disconnect another player.

Is this a hack going around? That breaks connections to YT, disables audio inputs in OBS, allows killer movement during lobby load... (and probably a hacked in skin for Wesker).

I am pretty certain they can't prevent you from uploading on YouTube. Not sure about the killer moving during the loading because I've never heard of that before, like ever. The skin is a possibility or he could've just bought it. I've seen cheaters who unlock legacy skins

There is currently hackers using what others are calling a DDOS attack on them after acquiring their IP thru the game.

Since its rumored that DBD runs on AMAZONAS servers, like most games do, it starts to make sense why we can't connect to websites hosted on those servers.

Yea but a DDOS attack wont prevent you from running and using OBS

Yea but... a hacker doesn't have to stop at just one type of attack. All these other issues I have only ever seen after being affected by a hacker in DBD.

I've had my audio altered drastically before.
I've had glitches inserted into one of my DBD accounts and not the others on the same computer.
I've been prevented from connecting to youtube before, for months, after an encounter.
I've been prevented from connecting to amazon until reboot, which today's is a bit worse. It was working yesterday.
And many more that I just can't think of off the top of my head at this moment.
All while using a VPN and also when not.

I've seen too many actual hackers to think they are ghosts and glitches. And when there is one hack, I have to attribute everything else to that hacker, cause its all nefarious counter-play.

Having issues with non network software sounds more like an you issue than hackers because for hackers to be able to affect your OBS they need to either have access to your PC or they would have to be able to prevent the sound from happening in-game I know Netflix will interfere with Nvidia shadow play.
But basically if hackers have access to your OBS they have access to your whole computer.

Have you tried restarting your router or contacting your ISP? Is it possible your router is next to something that emitts EMS radiation like a microwave? It sounds like you are having issues with your internet. Maybe you're getting DDoSsed but it's unlikely.

I don't think you read my original post. But thanks for the thought. My router is in a room of its own. No kitchen appliances nearby.

I've had them hack my other accounts and made permanent glitches on just that account, that after two months BHVR seemed to be able to fix.
And they were messing with my headphone software last year.
And... this post was originally supposed to be about how Wesker was moving during the intro of the match. He hit me before I was allowed to move.

For people to mess around with your software, they would need acess to your computer.
Which is hardly possible unless you download and open a designated file to gain acess to your computer.

Yesterday, as survivor, I played against a Legion who could hit and get us down without even touching us. At first I thought it was somekind of addon or perk (I never played Legion, so idk), but waited until the endgame screen to see his setup and there was nothing that would cause that sort of interaction. Plus, the damage he did against us was totally random, like in the middle of repairing a gen or running through the map. I reported him afterwards.

Maybe thats true... but idk how to remove it.

Thats all we can do when it seems way too suspicious.

BHVR needs to record the actions and xyz locations and view direction of players so they can play them back and verify easily that something is way off. Cause for us to submit videos is a ridiculous amount of time that we could have been playing instead. Sure it sounds simple, but its time consuming to say the least.

I am glad that in this last year BHVR has caught 6x more hackers than in the past!!! I hope it means they are trying to catch them harder and not that there are that many more hackers. lol. Either way, glad they were caught. Even though I see adverts on eBay for hacks that nullify punishment. Hoping BHVR shuts those ones down too.

don't worry, hackers didn't kill the game, the devs making a meta did.

I know.
Hackers aren't fun tho.
idc how funny some hacks were, they were never intended to give the opposition any strength. Cheating in an online versus game is bad form. It takes whatever goal the opposing player/s had away, and makes them lose add ons, offerings, and time spent trying to complete goals.

Sometimes I see hacker, yes. Once I was killer and one of the survivor hacked and was a killer to. Couldnt win the round because he still counted as killer.

He wanted my attention, but i went afk for 20 minutes. I cam back and he throwed hatches to me. Went afk for another 5 minutes and just see a game over screen.
