Too many cheaters (hackers) in Asian (S. Korean) server

DeadByCamper

30~40% of the matches, there's at least one cheat program user these days in Asian (S. Korean) servers. People have started recording and posting these matches on Youtube. Cheaters (hack program users) started appearing more often as Chinese users started using VPN to cross over to S. Korean servers (this is another problem on its own and I will not go into it any further).

So these hacks consist of speed, attack speed, instant heal, esp (location), using any/all perks (more than 4, the amount a survivor/killer is supposed to bring into a match), instant escape, flying, and pretty much anything you can think of.

I'm a rank 1 survivor and a rank 6 killer and cheaters (hack program users) are all across the rank, but mostly in the upper ranks.

Reporting them at the end of every match has its limits as I've reported hundreds of hack users for the past month and yet nothing seems to be being done. This is a cry for help to the DBD community and the devs.

Reporting literally does nothing and is thrown in the trash if you don't give them a video. So you basically need to have a dedicated youtube channel and stream or record 24/7 to report a cheater.

Reporting in-game for this kind of offenses is not enough, video evidence is required, since you need to prove they were actually hacking, evidence that can be sent to Support here: https://support.deadbydaylight.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

That's not how it works, you don't need any of that, as long as you have an NVIDIA card on PC you don't even need other programs to record your games, you just need to use the replay system built in the card and on console there's literally a share button to record the game.

Hello, people of the fog!

When reporting a player, many offences require video evidence to help us investigate your report. Below is a list of bannable offences which may require video evidence:

• Working with the opposite team to gain an advantage or grief teammates
• Targeting specific users repeatedly in order to ruin their game experience
• Holding the game hostage
• Botting
• Lag switching
• Exploit bugs, errors in design, or undocumented features to gain access to what otherwise would not be available or to obtain a competitive advantage

HOW TO RECORD YOUR MATCH:

XBOX:

• Press the XBOX  button to open the guide.
• Press the VIEW button, and then select "Record from now" . Depending on your clip's resolution, you can record anywhere from 10 minutes with internal storage and up to 1 hour with external storage.
• To end the clip, open the guide and press the X button . You'll get a notification when it's been saved.

PS4:

• Press the "Share" Button on your controller to begin recording gameplay.
• When you've recorded your match, save your clip, and trim as needed.
• After that you can upload the video directly to your linked YouTube account.
• Length, quality and etc. can be changed depending on your console settings for Video sharing

PC:

• For players using an NVIDIA graphics card, you can enable Shadowplay which will automatically record any gameplay while running in the background.
• To use Shadowplay ensure you have the GeForce Experience program installed.
• Open the in-game overlay settings found in the top right corner. From there, you can turn on "Instant Replay" and adjust settings such as clip length, quality, and audio levels.
• Alternatively, you can use OBS to manually record the incidents.

INFORMATION THAT WILL AID US IN REVIEWING CASES:

Opening your escape menu and viewing the match details tab.

This will allow us to see all of the Survivor characters in the match and usernames of who is playing them.

Visiting the tally menu once a match has ended.

This will allow us to examine player loadouts including perks, items and offerings.

UPLOADING YOUR EVIDENCE

Due to the small file size limit on ZenDesk, we suggest uploading your evidence to YouTube and "Unlisting" it. This will prevent anyone without the link from seeing it, and will allow you to upload without needing to compress the quality to meet the size limit.

For XBOX players,

• Open the Youtube App, and sign in.
• Navigate to the Upload tab. You may need to turn on "Enable Sharing on Social Networks" for your clips to be visible.
• Select your recorded match
• Enter a title and then select upload.

For PC players

• If you wish to cut down your clip, you can do so in the editing software of your choice. Otherwise you can upload the raw footage straight to youtube by navigating to your shadowplay recording folder.

Please keep in mind that even with video evidence, an in-game report is still required.

Screenshots are not considered valid evidence.

If the video sent does not follow our criteria or the quality of the video is low, it is possible that nothing will be done against the player reported.

Sadly they don't seem to do very well against hackers, I still encounter a hacker in West us servers who is kinda popular for some reason, same hacks and even other ones like infinite stun hacks.

Maybe one day they will make it actually hard for hackers to stop but sadly any game can be cheaters and if they fix those there will be more later on and so on.

I keep running into the subtle speed hack one. Everyone else will seem normal appart from 1 or 2 survivors who perfectly mindgame everything i do and seem to gain distance after every corner.

It is weird, but sadly I doubt they will do anything to fix with the hacking issues.

That one is very annoying. I prefer the blatant hackers, at least I can just go stand in a corner watching YouTube.

The speeders are also often a waste of time to report because the video can be deemed inconclusive.

I had a Jake who had that, but I ended up reporting him for extra perks and infinite exhaustion instead, when he dead harded twice in 20 sec and he had 4 perks none of which was DH. And he even dead harded for memes because I wasn't even close. Sadge.

It's ridiculous that for speedhacks the process is to record it and then have someone watch it and try to determine by sight. If a player is moving at a speed that doesn't make sense in regard to perks/add-ons/bloodlust etc it should be automatically flagged.
