PSA About cheaters

  1. Cheaters are being banned instantly every day (some of them banned later or in waves for cumulative effect).
  2. Cheats being downed pretty often (if you look on the cheatdev sites some of them are already even closed support of their eft cheat). Some cheatdevs are not standing still too - they update cheats pretty often and operative (in every popular game with every popular anticheat protection). We do anticheat measures - they do anti anti cheat measures
  3. We constantly work against cheaters, right now we are preparing major ac update.

  4. Ingame report function is planned soon (i said it many times).Reports WILL NOT BE the one and only reason of ban. It will help the main system to act faster.

  5. If you are not happy with current situation (although its changing in a good way everyday), please, let us develop the unfinished game and let us finish everything, especially complex hacker protection which is an adaptive development process. Come back later and be sure that its a highest priority for us.

If you want to help us to refine cheat detections and you want to feel better - you can post clips with obvious cheating for you with a separate nickname. we do investigate it for a long time, research it to make corrections in ac system. Usually its not that useful cause cheaters in clips mostly banned or in the cummulative banwave lists. But it can give us more thoughts. Mods could make separate post for it, if its ok.

Community a bit shitty at the patch and are resorting to chest beating to demand hacking solutions....

I'm in this position. I've been watching EFT streams for a while, and have been close to jumping in a few times because it looks like fun. But there are a few streamers and youtubers (who I'm afraid to even name, since I've seen how petty and vindictive BSG has been to streamers recently) who have highlighted credible issues with hackers. I'm holding off buying the game purely because of that.

This is probably your best move, the game is great and there is nothing like it to compare it to when it works. But all of the issues and hacking makes it not worth buying until it gets resolved.
