Battlefield 2042 Content Creator Caught Hacking ► Where Is The Anti-Cheat?

[@PDU2004]

In Battlefield 2042, cheating is widespread among players in the East Asian region, with many openly engaging in it. Fake IDs and conspicuous cheating tactics are utilized to masquerade as top players and club teams from the region. My team has even experienced instances where a group of hackers actively stream-sniped us during our gameplay Cheating in the East Asian region is quite severe, which is why when I play solo, I'd rather endure latency 180ms and play in the US West But EA simply doesn't care how dire the situation is outside the Pacific. EA would say, "That's managed by another EA division," and that division is located in, you guessed it, Shanghai

[@PDU2004]

@@eded711 Since 1942, I've had experiences with the SAGA club in BF2. During BF2, I faced SAGA while I was in other clubs, and we began to have fierce competitions. From BF3 to BF4, as we became more familiar with each other, the atmosphere improved, and my club interacted or competed with them. Although I am just a passerby on the internet, I can vouch for them with my 20 years of BF experience: the official members of the SAGA club are absolutely trustworthy in terms of character and integrity. Some of them, like me, are still playing in 2042. Many hackers from "you-know-which country" have been impersonating the SAGA tag, as 2042 doesn't have a club system to regulate it... anyone can impersonate it. Jealousy can be terrible, leading to malicious behavior.

[@kubagola5550]

[@foabmoab]

EA has repeatedly tried to pretend cheating was not an issue in 2042. I was banned from the EA Help forums for pointing out the issue (right before they conveniently decided to swap to a new anti-cheat). Feels nice to be vindicated that the incredibly suspect stuff that happens in matches is very likely to be hack related. 2042 is the one game out of the entire series where I have encountered more cheating than any other, and I think most dismissed it because its not the type of cheating they're used to, where one player just stands and nukes everyone with a machine gun like they did previously. I've had two instances of that in game (one just a few weeks ago). 2042 seems to suffer significantly more from stealth cheating. People pretending they're legit, but they're not. You'll often see these players dominate for a few rounds, get called out, and suddenly be somewhere around the middle or bottom of the board, before jumping back to the top again. Other times they'll immediately leave the server as the round ends, and won't be seen again (given the rather tiny pool of players I regularly encounter, you'd expect to see them reappear). The worst offender for this was a player who ended up rage cheating at the end after being called out, and single-handedly ran from one end of Spearhead to the other on Breakthrough killing every single person instantly with their PP-29. I actually started running an experiment to confirm they were able to see everyone at all times, and they fell right into that trap by instantly finding me every single time. Found, shot three times, dead. To make it more obvious, they were playing as Falck, and too far ahead of their own team for any of them to spot us for them. After that, never saw that player again, and per the tracker they don't appear to have advanced very much at all since. Player had an 80% win rate, which in itself is sus. My win rate is 54% because the teams in the games generally don't perform well. So when I see someone getting 80% wins despite having the same pool of players to fill their team, its a red flag that their cheating is swinging the match hard in their favour. Typically, those players will know your exact position at all times. Sometimes they'll play Paik as a cover, but forget that someone has visual and audio cues they're being scanned. Same for scanning gadgets because of the noise. The wall hacking is always accompanied by an aimbot that puts every shot into the head. Single digit rank players jumping across a gap to instantly beam you with two pistol shots to the head, for instance. They also have a habit of tanking more damage. Recently I was able to hit a player at some distance with a red dot sight on the AK5C. Ended in a headshot, took them down much quicker than expected, but still took 10 rounds. You then encounter one of the players being suspect up close, and hit them with just about the full 40 rounds, and they're still alive.

[@lI_Simo_Hayha_Il]

Back in BF4, 3, BC2, 2 and 1942, we rented our own servers. These guys didn't stand a chance. They were simply kicked from the servers, using spectator mode and we didn't care if DICE would ban them or not. We were called "Banadmins" and lots of people were mad at us. The fact is that our servers had excellent reputation, they were full 24/7 and nobody complained about cheating. DICE (and most publishers/developers) took the servers to the cloud, which I have to admit has a lot of benefits, but they removed the ability to hire our own server and administer it. Now they develop invasive anti-cheats, some cannot even get uninstalled!!!, that spy on us when the computer is on, even without playing anything, and cheaters still roam in every f*** game. Banwaves are just profit for them, as the cost of cheats is multiple times the cost of the game, and many providers give you a free game if you get banned. So DICE and others make profit for every ban, since most cheaters will buy (direct or indirect) another code.

[@frankie11277]

I can't believe somebody had been seeing this other than me! I had beef with this guy LukeSkyfarmer that was always in my lobby's hacking/cheating with his helicopters constantly & he would never run on foot! I have reported this guy left & right. He disappeared & reappeared after numerous reports but never banned! He's not good & he thinks he's bad. You can't be good with recoil mechanics & wall hacks. EA/Dice says no body wall hacks they're games or cheats in they're games. I asked dice/ea on Reddit why are people cheating in 2042 after I got fed up with this guy here that you talk about. But that's what they told me...people don't cheat/hack in our games. This guy needs to be permanently banned. So funny thank you for this video. This made my day!

why bother cheating in BF? go cheat in CoD where cheating streamers are celebrated. Edit: cheats for air vehicles eh... that explains how some jet pilots can consistently out turn and land every single bullet on me and how they spot ground targets so easily.

[@Astrothunder_]

To be fair, it’s gonna be a lot harder to determine if a jet player is cheating just based off of if they outturn. If their flying is even slightly more polished than you they could potentially outturn you every single engagement. I would do it all the time in bf4. And it has been done to me plenty of times too😂 boots on the ground it’s way easier to tell if someone’s just a blatant cheater

I was in that match in the clip with CPTDADDYYHIND. I knew for sure the guy was cheating. It's hard to tell on my phone but I even think I see my ign in the kill log (not from him) but I was killed quite a few times by him. He just seemed to know exactly when to peek and exactly where to start shooting. Im on PS5 and I know there is a huge discrepancy between PC and console movements but he just seemed to know exactly where everyone was and now I know why.

[@user-pf3gd1zd2i]

Well one thing I learned from playing MGO2/3 is that cheaters would intentionally lower their KDR to hide the cheating. If anyone called them out they would point to the low KDR and troll the accusor.

[@NSX-ki4bd]

There’s too many of these and they always resort to either “get good” or “skill issue”

[@BravenTyler]

Why is this guy getting any clout, being at 1.1k followers but I'm over here at 1.7k with legit and better content, makes me sick that a cheater with dogcrap content gets views, but I'm over here showing real skill getting literally bones. Hard being a legit content creator

[@w.williams2694]

Wow, that confirms so many of my suspicions over the past two years with both those guys. I've literally gotten into arguments with clan mates about how sus DH and LSF are. It wasn't that they were just good pilots -- they are -- it was how they seemed to be able to find you no matter where you were and this explains it. And it's funny, as I was watching the beginning of this, I kept saying "what about the guys he runs with" and, yep.

@@CPTDADDYHIND Sure bro

[@TJMGator]

Come On Ghost! Are you on really, really, good drugs? I have 2,400+ hours on 2042. It is OBVIOUS there are DBag cheaters in 2042. GREAT video. Captain Douchyhind's video illustrates what I knew was happening. Thank You!

[@jamescamille84]

I believe there is an anti cheat that registers your PC parts.. Therefore if you are caught cheating, for example for your graphic card has a serial number, once it has been flagged as cheater account, no matter how many accounts you make the serial number on your pc parts has already been flagged and the pretty much your whole PC has been locked out of the game.. This goes for hard drives and motherboards.

[@gerrysmith5597]

Played quite a few games where a payer seems very suspicious - spotting me when I'm in cover etc., I'm 70 years old and just like to play, I'm not the best player in the world so its sad when you come up against these little pricks, cmon DICE get your fingers out and sort this problem once and for all - well done Ghost for putting this video up for us all to see.

[@positivelycurvedpikachu]

what's your opinion on modern day videogame game industry ?

[@lezlienewlands1337]

Cheating is an uphill battle now with DMA hardware out there, which for those uninitiated is Direct Memory Access. Basically it's a PCIe card that allows an external computer to do the hacking which gets directly injected into the second PC. The advantage is the cheat code is not on the computer that they're playing on, so it can't be seen even by kernel cheats. They also spoof the hardware identifiers so it shows up as something innocuous. Right now it's a pretty expensive way to cheat from what I've heard, but as technology advances the cost will come down. Sad really. We almost need to bring back LAN parties. Anyone cheating there is in for a public shaming.

[@3DiFilms]

Even if lukeskyfarmer isn't cheating, that discord message is enough for me to stop watching him. What a POS!

[@lonegun4078]

honestly what goes through peoples heads when they use cheats. like are you really having fun playing the game. Part of the fun when coming and playing new games is learning and training to make yourself a better player. SMH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@garybryant4293]

I think you kind of hit on it there bud, it's a difficult game from the jump, and people that don't feel like they're good at the game they want some kind of leg up. Then they run around cheating and think that they're good at the game! When I first started playing I would spawn and die in 5 seconds every time... It has taken me months to get as good as I am which is still awful. Cheaters just want like kids are like steroids I think the shortcut to getting good

[@kennethwilliamsinc]

I'm guessing the thrill is that it strokes their ego to see their stats better than everyone else's and they also get a high from pissing people off.

[@Arhan28]

It’s hard to want to play after I’ve seen some of the hacks on X and KZbin posted. I would like to know what ea and dice plan to do to address this.

[@chuckdunn9035]

Absolutely nothing! They made their money and couldn't care less. They have already moved onto the next title.

[@90PaMa]

"The best bf pilot ever " That's a bold statement dude, like I ve been dogfighting insane pilots across 20 years of battlefield. I'm quite sure he hasn't even got in touch with the all-time top tiers

Ghost experience with cheaters: It's not so bad. Asia server experience with cheaters: cHiNA nUmBAh oNe

Just tiannamen square into the chat and watch them all get disconnected

[@YeeVeeX]

Dude, I bought BF2042 a couple weeks ago and I noticed a lot of people doing insane stuff and shots out of this world... I was wondering why.

[@alastairschultz1837]

Didn't Luke used to play on Playstation? I seem to remember running into the name in BFV. If he's cheating on PC, I wouldn't be surprised if he was using Cronus and/or Xim on console.

[@charlessandel]

using cronus or xim on a game that has crossplay with PC like next gen bf2042 does isn’t cheating… now if it was rainbow six siege then yes using cronus and xim on console is cheating

[@joshwongwai3532]

He did play bfv on PlayStation and he was using a Cronus while playing at the time, plenty of times I’ve died to the guy with a semi auto rifle that shot like a machine gun. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was using more cheats while on pc now.

[@charlessandel]

@@joshwongwai3532 yea i’m talking about bf2042

[@Cedricket]

he used to play comp back then too. Comp on BFV was 80% cheaters you either did it or you lost

[@Cedricket]

@@charlessandel i would argue xim isn't because you're using the same inputs as PC. But using cronus which give you an advantage with computer generated inputs and not your own is 100%cheating

[@xunjin8897]

When we from the Linux world say that “anti-cheat kernel” is something that doesn't add any security at all, at the expense of your privacy, we are the “doom days” ones. The worst is to hear, “I don't care if they can access everything on my PC, I just want no cheaters”, well, that just proves that there will always be cheaters, the way is how you fight against them. Dota 2 does a nice stuff where you can review replays and actually get cheaters while reporting them.

[@mitri5389]

Yeah games like warthunder also has that but 90% of cheaters play unconscious trying their hardest to look normal... they keep getting away with it because the mods are to dumb or to scared of banning a so called legit player. Honestly the only way to solve cheating problem is to host your own server and spectate players. Anti cheat is a cheap lock.

[@ScaRMR6]

In next game DICE should include things such as HWID Bans, IP bans but knowing EA/DICE highly unlikely

[@bradhillier234]

Why would they punish 80%of the people playing...

[@chazleyweber2689]

I can count on two hands and two feet how many times I run into blatent cheaters every time I load up the game. It has been a HUGE problem the entire time the game has been out and its never been properly addressed even with the big anti cheat updates. It did nothing. I basically had to quit playing cause of the sheer amount of cheaters makes the game unplayable.

[@brianbird7866]

Same😢

[@chazleyweber2689]

That is I play in the US with a larger density of players compaired to maybe where Ghost plays. To be transparent I do not know how the servers are set up for this game but I would guess its regonal so I would maybe have more people here playing over all. Again IDK how it actually works and I am just speculating.

[@aus_ae]

Luke and other players most likely use different usernames. Where I play, I often encounter them, and how they play/use the game chat seems to give it away. There are also different videos with different usernames on his channel. Happy to be proven wrong that they don't cheat, but having played against them a couple of times, I find them toxic and don't bother with them anymore. We all have better things to do than entertain these people. I play with other regular Battlefield vets, and it feels obvious to all of us that something is wrong and Dice isn't doing anything about it.

[@Stewbo1]

Cross play should be binned . I've never met a pc user play fair . 90% of them are using cheats

[@Gaunter_ODimm]

The map Redacted have the most cheaters on console. That player with a 165 - 21 or 125 - 11 type of score.

[@kevin11humor]

Silk is a frickin beast and knows his vehicles, I would believe him even if there was no hard proof. He's quite possibly the real best vehicle player or at least close.

[@cantbeseriousfr]

So you admit you willingly believe propaganda... nothing surprises me anymore.

[@kevin11humor]

@@cantbeseriousfr Well propaganda doesn't fit that description at all, but would I trust someone I've watched for a long time that doesn't call people out for a living does do so over such a situation? yea...

[@wilihey1425]

i know of a guy that would upload a lot of videos for bfV and what not about him getting insane scores in vehicles, i knew about his channel cause he would get on EU servers cheat by an insane amount, like armor plates on infantry, speedhack, shooting through walls just decimating the entire lobby and ruining the game and the whole time he would spam the chat with his youtube channel there are a lot of people doing this, and there are a lot of players that do it almost everyday ruining lobbies everyday not even this closet cheating where they have a slight advantage just decimating everyone so you cant even exit spawn and they dont get ban, if they do they get another account and get right back to it, its hopeless

[@NSX-ki4bd]

To be fair, EA does do IP and hardware bans, however, those 2 can be easily hidden.

[@azupanki]

I have to mention that in the Asia servers, there are 2-3 blatantly cheating players in every server, as well as at least half of them are acting (without very obvious cheating, like wall hacks, etc.). EAAC seems to have no effect on Asian servers, but it keeps disabling my NVIDIA recording all the time :)

[@OgreHammer]

I just started bf2042 last friday and already I've been sniped through 2 conexes that I was hiding in/behind; player kill cam showed the other player prone across the map.

[@Targon999]

Nothing is more pathetic than cheating in multiplayer games... where's the fun in all that?

[@Leach-ez7dq]

Shitty players can't have fun, so they use cheats to compensate.

[@Irate_Beau]

they are actually sociopaths that get their enjoyment from ruining the enjoyment of other people. sometimes i wonder, if they werent cheating on battlefield would they be in their basement skinning a cat alive?

[@Battlewear]

I bought 2042 after the free to play event for season 7.. at first I though oh I’m just a new player, that’s why I’m dying so much, need to learn the game, upgrade, etc etc. it wasn’t until I got a lil more experienced with the game that I could start to see those who cheat. It ticked me off and basically stopped playing. I wish with cross play we had ability to select with or without pc players…

[@dipoputra7550]

Thanks for uploading this video. I have been a huge fan of the Battlefield franchise and i have been playing BF1 - BFV on console. Not to brag or anything but i was a literal fire there B). However as soon as I got a PC and play those games again, I was actually very surprised where a lot of players were cheating and hacking (especially on Asian servers). After a month running into cheaters (and also Steam summer sale). I was thinking of getting BF2042 where I thought as it was a newer game, there would'nt be as much cheaters in-game. Of course as a smart buyer, I researched the game thoroughly and ran into this video, so thank you very much!!. I could've spent $10 for getting killed by cheaters xD.

[@aaronwain5657]

Hacking in gaming in general has become a hell of a lot worse, scamming people out of money

[@662North]

The only way to get rid of cheating is to post the personal information of the cheaters including address. Yes, a few people will die but, word travels fast and i believe cheating will stop within 6 months.

[@zavirca]

Cheating is becoming more and more evident in BF2042 in my region, it's crazing and getting out of control. I'm really surprised you haven't run into this sort of gameplay before. I would say it's increased over the last 1-2 months or so. Not seeing it in every server I go into but I'm running into this sort of thing every couple of days. It's getting really annoying and the reason I stopped playing BF5 and played a different game, but now if this keeps up I'll be moving away from BF2042.

[@pocketkiriyama]

Met Skyfarmer twice with my brother and he had suspicions about him cheating. Despite the high kill count his side still lost twice.

[@rainmanmainplan4421]

For them to say they are the best while cheating is hilarious 😂😂😂😂 it's like beating up a man who has no arms and saying you're hard AF 😂

[@wmac296]

Difficult to tell if you are behind the netcode. Multiple deaths through objects and 1 on 1 deaths to guys who only have 12hp left happens all the time. Why wall hack when the game does it for you.

[@Lastindependentthinker]

Oceania is terrible.

[@equakecs8119]

That's mean, can't blame us. Blame the filth that uses cheats. Not Oceania as a whole. I myself hate NA and EU servers I find NA more trash but don't hate the whole community.

[@Jumonji]

I remember that CPTDADDYYHIND guy, met him a years snd half ago on 2042 with his friend NYPDARMSTRONG or whatever, still in there discord tbh, don't even talk to them anymore since I moved back to bf4 with my older friend group
