Is it finally happening? Some guy spent weeks posting in Confed faction chat that he had paid money to "preorder" some hacker to show up and ruin the server. He was also going on about paying IRL money to anyone that could help him doxx certain faction members.

It was as autistic as it sounds, but I guess it is finally happening.

I saw the cheater in question Days ago it was some Polish guy, dude had an impossibly good accuracy and crazy accurate spray so it was an aimbot for sure also he would only headshot unless you were moving fast enough on a bike to dodge, he would also know where you are at all time so he had wall hacks and he could also detect if your safe zone protection was gone as i witnessed a guy losing it and getting killed in the microsecond he left it by the cheater.

Right. What's the secret? Many of the same blatant aimbot cheaters still exist unbanned on AUS-1 for over three years after multiple reports to devs in-game, Discord, VK, and email. An entire chinese clan has been reported numerous times for being filled with players cheating, toxicity, and abuse.

Game is in shambles, as nearly every multiplayer game that ever existed, this one is no exception. What you can do is to inform yourself and decide how to proceed. Personally i've allways disliked any use of helper-software, any sort of program that gives advantage in any game i've played. Google funplay will to live online, see it for yourself. Straight up cheats, scripts that make your gun shoot automaticly when enemy nameplate is scanned, removal of recoil. Check how many users buy these sort of things, it's not the games fault, lets be real, easy anti cheat is really bad but what can you do from developers standing point, literally nothing... Online games are not what they used to be, this is dark age of gaming, wallet wins.

Except, in almost every other game (PVP MMO especially) the dev team or at least moderators will actually actively investigate reports and manually ban cheaters (except very poor and lazy dev like this game). Not only does EAC suck horribly and easy for cheaters to bypass, DivisionByZero have many times admitted they don't read most reports and rely solely on a garbage anti-cheat only. Not too mention there have been numerous reports of internal dev team creating and releasing cheats themselves to make extra profit on the side.

Although, there are a lot of facepalm bugs and glitches from rush content pushes that just shouldn't exist, and have existed for years, the game is really fun. That fun is unfortunately, quickly ruined by cheaters, poor moderation and severely lazy staff!

It is entirely possible, another way to monetize their game to grab more cash. There is spectate feature in the game, once i've been spectated by an dev(Had white text in the top center of the screen saying Spectating:[my character name]. I wish they could atleast implement kill cam feature, but that ain't gonna happen...Beign unable to, too difficult or other shady 'stuff' going on behind our backs. Yes game is cool but that all falls in the water once you realize what is really going on in pvp.

Honestly, I think DvisionByZero allow the cheaters to play just so the game's player count and charts make the game look more active. It's obvious with almost every update since 2020, it's never what players are asking for and completely based around direct purchases, and mechanics that require or heavily lead to micro-transactions (breaking weapons when applying mods). Even items obtained from seasonal events used to be quite obtainable from moderately to heavy grinding solo or small groups until 2021 but since then have been increasingly impossible as it requires many more players to achieve on servers that no longer have the numbers as players leave due to increasing cheaters, or getting KOS aimbot from salty and toxic chinese.

No, the VAC ban was from launching a different game to check something on character while using TeamViewer to remote into my PC from work (which I have done several times with other games in the past). Apparently, older versions of TeamViewer at the time could be used to inject programs into applications (like games) to cheat games. I had no idea and just launching the game while in a remote session through TeamViewer flagged VAC. I tried to appeal it since I genuinely didn't cheat but as you can see they never reversed it.

I highly doubt you'd get banned from talking 'smack' here in Steam, as long as you're not using profanity or directly attacking/bullying a specific person. (DivisionByZero very RARELY even look in here). However, myself and many other players have gotten several accounts "blocked" for "violating EUA" by being "toxic" for saying things using the in-game report system that rubbed DivisionByZero the wrong way. - This could be using expletives, a low blow like calling the dev team incompetent for poor development or lazy for lack in banning cheaters. In some cases though, players have even been "blocked" (like a ban that prevents player from using any character with that account but is supposed to be temporary) for constantly reporting the same cheaters over and over, they considered this "spam" and "toxic" lol I know ridiculous!

They don't tell you why an account was banned or blocked. It took me 4 months of constantly emailing them (no response via Discord or VK) for them to tell my why on this account. It was because in a bit of rage from constant chinese cheaters, I sent an in-game report calling DivisionByZero a non politically correct term for failing to investigate reports and manual ban specific cheating players (who were reported MANY times with picture and video proof to their email and Discord but ignored). Was it appropriate, not really, but not worthy of getting my account blocked (especially without warning and for a single minor offense). I believe another account was blocked shortly after Testing Grounds was introduced, due to an in-game report where I said requiring a Master Repair kit as a micro-transaction after the gun breaks when applying a mod, was a scam.
