For those that played BF5 all know hackers flocked to this game in insane amounts and became a massive talking point with BF2042. Dice decided to move to Easy Anti Cheat which was good news for BF players but not that good if you know it well from playing Apex or even watching Apex pred lobbies.

I'm a big fan of the BF series but this isn't good to see already. I'm hoping something can be done to make sure at launch it isn't like BFV is now

Yeah scrap PC crossplay and only allow consoles to do it. Fixed for us.

One of my pet peeves is having PC crossplay as cheating it rampant on there for popular games.

Yes, I agree with you. As a PC player, you should have the option to turn it off. Hopefully it be a thing

The unfortunate thing is cheating now exists on both PC and console. So, until things are actually done and done well, this is only going to get worse. It's even worse for F2P titles for obvious reasons. So, at least there's a period from launch and not long after where cheaters may exist, but they're not NEARLY as plentiful.

2024?

I opened the thread thinking it was a new Battlefield set to release in 2024.

2024?

That opened the thread thinking it was a new Battlefield set to release in 2024.

I didn't even notice lol. I'm sure a mod will fix it soon

 

[SantaC]

I mean, there will always be cheaters

 

[PsyEd]

Thanks...cancelled my amazon pre-order.

This is an 18 years old build for beta. Check back at release date.

 

[MaKTaiL]

That's why it's called "Easy Anti-Cheat" as in "Easy AF to crack".

They wanna force it to help with the much smaller amounts of players on PC.

No thank you! Crossplay with PC is off for me in all Player Vs Player games.

Is there wall hacks and aimbots on console now or are you talking about the device that eliminates recoil?

 

[Kenpachii]

Also lol at console gamers thinking they won't have rampant problems with cheaters. these aimbot devices already work since the first hour of release of the beta on those consoles.

Anyway it seems to be fixed.

SIXTY FUCKING DOLLARS FOR A CHEAT FROM CHINA?

 

[Luipadre]

crossplay off. SAVED

 

[PandemiaPorcina]

They should ban PC players for FPS games really, I mean they invest this much money to cheat? These people don't have fucking lives what a bunch of fucking losers, I hope people can turn that horrendous shit cross play is

Yeah sure, every PC players deserve to be insulted by someone like you...

 

[lame gag1990]

More reasons why I want crossplay between consoles only.

I rather deal with cheaters occasionally than over 90% of people being on wifi like with consoles

whats wrong with wifi?

 

[Concern]

All shooters are basically ruined thanks to the pc nerds who need to boost their low self esteem cheating.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

whats wrong with wifi?

He has no clue.

 

[nani17]

Welp. Console it is.

The game is cross play. Not sure if there is an option to turn it off. Not saying there isn't just haven't heard about it

 

[BennyBlanco]

whats wrong with wifi?

Ever played fighting games online?

It's off in the beta and it's clearly a toggle in the options.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Nope

 

[twilo99]

whats wrong with wifi?

Latency.

 

[HTK]

I'll have to turn off crossplay, problem is they will work hard to keep it enabled like annoying ass Warzone enabled it by default then keeps the option deep in the menus. When you do disable it they spam you with the fucking message to enable it.

They will use excuses like keep it enabled to find games faster, even though when it comes to CoD or Battlefield majority of their communities are on console.

Anyway this won't get resolved, rampant cheating is part of PC gaming so this issue won't simply go away anytime soon.

With Microsoft games being on all platforms, you'll see Halo cheaters invade soon enough.
