Killer using lags for advantage

Privo

I didn't know where to write it so could be wrong sub-forum.

Could you set other lagged players to killers with same problem(many reports) or do anything to kick/ban this issue, maybe vote rematch/admin check? It's destroying games, not even fun or focus to rank up. He's propably using switch region for better plays on his side and laugh on survs, like he wrote us on chat at the end of match.

First video is by player who was in match with me and two friends, second was recored by myself, I also start recording after replay.

Lag switching is bannable but don’t post other people’s steam profile information on the public forums if you think they’re cheating. Just submit a private ticket with that information and your video. Publicly naming someone as a cheater can possibly get you suspended from the forums.

It's an issue that the Devs will hopefully fix with the upcoming patch. It used to be a way worse problem, but it died down a lot with dedicated servers, plus a lot of survivors started using lag switches so they could mess up ranged killers, and even normal kilelrs to an extent by choking their connection as they turn a corner or break LoS for a few second. (No-one will convince me that someone with 40 ping suddenly went to 800 every time I enter a chase without a lag switch.)

Except with dedicated servers, lag switching only really ######### yourself up. Killer included.

He would be so far lagging from you guys as well as you are him, that his hits would be nigh impossible to ACURATELY calculate.

Its probably just ######### internet connection matched with their killer side hit detection (meaning that even if lagging, he managed to hit you on his end, it would connect).

Lag switching like they used to do is impossible. They cant lag YOU out of the game until they hit you anymore.

P.S. Here’s the details on how to report people. Use the ingame report system if possible.
