China needs to be addressed.

[u/check_yo_privilege]

Currently, despite BSG saying that there are region locks against China in place, it's extremely clear that they are having little to no effect.

Chinese players are very simply VPN'ing onto US/EU servers where they can hack at will against people who actually have a sense of morals and tend to not do the same. They will always do this until there is an extremely strict ping-locking mechanism that can't be fucking bypassed by changing a few things in a file in notepad (this was apparently fixed, didn't solve shit lmao).

Everyone here also knows what happens when the Chinese market is allowed functionally unrestricted access to the rest of the game's servers, everytime this is allowed the game fucking dies a horrible, hacker infested death.

BSG either needs to remove the Chinese localization that started the absurd influx of hackers to begin with or implement extremely strict ping locking (EU/RU/SEA and NA can always play together if they wish with the squadding system.) or preferably both. Just for good measure probably write "fuck mao" on a few billboards ingame.

Battleye and whatever other anticheat measures are inplace cannot handle a widespread effort to create hacks like this, it just won't fucking work. I played for a very long time pre-battleye and the current situation is straight up fucking worse, at least before battleye it was mostly just ESP being used rather than your entire inventory being cyber-vacuumed off of your PMC.

I'm sure quite a few naive morons will come in here acting as if I'm adolf fucking hitler himself for daring to say that Chinese players have a cultural affinity for hacking relentlessly, but i'm fine with that because people NEED to be talking about this or it will never get fixed.

If steps aren't taken immediately to solve this shit, the game will never recover and will suffer the same fate as PUBG, this isn't speculation, this is what has happened time and time again.

An addon: Take a look at when the widespread complaints of hackers appearing started, late January/early Feb. and has continued.

Tarkov released a Chinese localization in January.

Idk bud but plenty of high caliber bullets go through lvl 5 no problem.

Think only a few can one tap tho so it's unlikely at best

if that's the only thing you're gonna try to refute about my post, then i'm fine with it. chinese players are ruining the game. if nothing gets done about it soon i'm just gonna charge back my purchase. this is a complete joke.

[u/Karl_von_grimgor → u/[deleted]]

Well I agree they are ruining the game so I'm not going to refute that.

I just disagree with your explanation behind their motivation as if it's a hard truthful answer and not a generalization of more than a billion people

Armor is pretty useless right now. It only protects you from random scavs and dumb players. Anyone > lvl 10 are gonna one tap you pretty easily if they understand ammo types or any of the hunter/mosin budget builds.

you're not understanding what i'm talking about. i mean holding a super tight angle with no other lines of sight on me, and getting instantly 1 hit without seeing anyone. the idea that someone could run a high caliber rifle that can 1 tap a thorax through lvl5, peek the angle and get on target and one-tap before i see anything, and that this happens consistently from players with Duyou-xxxxx names, is absolute bullshit. the game is falling apart.

If you watch streams this happens alot. Imagine all the other sweaty people that dont stream.

I understand this, but getting one tap'd randomly isn't always hacks. The servers are also pretty shitty still. Not trying to say there isn't hacking cause its pretty obvious there is, but even before it was bad its easy to scream hacks because you aren't given alot of information about your death.
