So many CHEATERS!

[PAX]

Why is Official US WEST #1 riddled with Chinese Cheaters. Been playing that server for almost 1k hours. my character is well development and unfortunately im going to have to go back to DayZ or play some boosted community server which i am not a fan of.

I literally buried stashes in all four corners of the map and in the middle and every single one was found within a week. This is beyond disapointing considered the community servers dont have nearly this bad of a problem. doesnt make sense.

Furthermore, why is lockpicking even a thing on bases. I can understand having locks protect the best loot in the game. But i can spend weeks on end building up a base with all gold locks and someone can run thru it in 10 minutes while im offline with bobby pins. Base building is broken and so are stashes so how can one even build anything up?

wait ... they fixed the ESP hacking in dayz so i can finally make underground stashes again after 5 years?

Better play on private servers. They have mostly more admins and can help you faster than in officials.

Hello :),

If you notice any unauthorized practices, it is best to pass this on directly to the developers with as much information as possible via SCUM Support[support.scumgame.com].

Incoming reports are actively checked and, if a finding is found, action is taken.

ME AND my team already have a few times. doesnt seem to make a difference. they should be banning entire team not just individuals id say. there were 6 of us and now just myself. My whole team left due to these chinese hacker groups.

thats sad to have to stick to private servers; there a bit to easy due to the modifications

alot of them also have lockpicking hacks, another reason why u shouldnt be able to lockpick bases but whatever

its gotten alot better; but i wouldnt recommend official servers on pc ether. console dayz is free of hackers

I get why people want to play on Officials, but unfortunately the only real option if you want a (mostly) cheater-free experience is to get on a private server with good admins.

I highly recommend Boom Boom Room.
I know that The Forge is very popular.
And Luthias' Survival Evolved is good too.

All three of these are good servers with slightly different focus (SE is probably closest to vanilla in all settings), but they all have active and dedicated admins who constantly surveil players to watch for cheating.

This is why having the server files is so important, in my opinion, cheaters are here. So as in other games, having a private server whitelisted so you have to pass some steps before going in is what will filter out all those cheaters.

And don't worry, cheaters know to RE, so they probably know everything by now, so when 1.0 comes out, there is no real problem on releasing the server files as well.

As mentioned by a developer in another topic, further solutions are being worked on. In particular, a cooperative collaboration in this area with Jagex was mentioned.

But reports that are submitted are also actively checked and, if the result is positive, appropriate measures are taken. However, checking is not as easy as one would often like. There must be irrefutable proof so that a corresponding action can be taken. You cannot impose a sanction based on a suspicion. So it needs to be checked and investigated.

Some the few experiences I had on this game was hackers on official servers, they beam you down and find your loot and it really drains the fun. I had one where I am nearly 100% sure it was a hacker who had hit nearly every buried chest on the NA East official 1# and I found my chest dug up with all my duck tape and meds,backpacks gone but they must have felt sorry for me so they threw out my bow and left a compound and metal arrows.

I've the proof of devs banning cheaters, and how they do that actively.
It's just that they keep coming.
As I mention on another thread the main problem is the damage they make, that make people quit. Happens on private servers too.

As the damage is the real problem, I suggested devs that it should be focus of the war against cheaters.

We got a news from them, as DW said, that new tools are coming and so more preventive activity will keep them at bay.
As always, prevention is the key. If they can't do any damage, they won't impact on community of players.

Yes, in the same thread I was talking above, I made the same point.
Players have no feedback of the work behind the curtains.
So I asked them to to give us some feedbacks about that.

Officials, for me, are the only place to play SCUM now. So hope new tools and more feedbacks will dissipate the fake rumors of devs not caring enough about cheaters.
I know they are actively working on it.

Official servers are all plagued by Chinese Hackers, unless of course the devs are actively playing on them I'm assuming.

I want to play official servers to play default normally with other people but almost all of the good latency servers for me have NO english players and NOBODY talks english to where they all do their own thing.

The hacking is rampant. They can clearly spawn items in the game and do lots of other things to get what they want, but for some reason these Chinese players simply steal and steal and steal and ruin the fun for EVERYBODY on the servers they're on.

Again, I'm asking for IP ban or ping barrier. That and or Geo lock servers???
Conan Exiles has ping barriers......and that's run by Funcom. Seriously?
I've seen nothing but harassment and killjoys from the 'Foreign players' as they go out of their way, and I mean spend 15 - 30 minutes to try and ram their cars into motorbikes and bicycles in attempts to push it into the ocean / water.

Why? So they can hoard more, take more and just ruin it completely for others.
This isn't even on PvP servers, this is on PvE servers too.
Nobody plays Official PvP because of hackers, so then the hackers have no victims to ruin the game for and ruin the reputation of the game so they go to PvE servers and wreak havoc there.

It is not. At least in my experience. But this aspect can only be detailed by a dev.

IP ban can be easily avoided.
Funcom, that one with a total turnover of 200 MILLIONS of dollars?! ^^

It's SCUM baby, it's allowed to be nasty.
Btw why ramming them while you can destroy them with a handgun?

I play on official from day 1, and my experience is a bit different.
There are waves of cheaters. I think it's related to the release of them.
New cheat out, cheaters come, and when they use cheats, got banned.

Devs are working on it with new tools, so be confident.

Ive heard this before,"its not an easy task". but then why do community servers with only 1 or 2 admins max manage to keep cheaters down to a minimum. and these are full 80 pop servers im talking about. officials are virtually dead and still crawling with chinese hackers. US west #1 seems to be where they all seek refuge.
