Anti-Cheat Improvements: Phase One - Out Now

Servus Allies,

Today we have released an update built largely around addressing one of the most commonly reported issues of the last few weeks; cheats and cheaters.

Alongside major anti-cheat improvements, we have made some other adjustments based on player feedback.

You can check out the full changelist below.

Changelist:

• Major Improvements to the anti-cheat and anti-cheat systems
• These changes should severely reduce the majority of the most commonly reported cheats and hacks currently being used in-game.
• This is the first part of our improvements to the anti-cheat system. We’ll continue to monitor the situation and improve our anti-cheat system.
• Trampler capture will be reactivated once we have confirmed the Anti-cheat improvements have had the intended effect.
• Added different error messages in the lobby so it would be clearer to understand why some action can’t be performed
• Added additional SFX’s to:
• Friend/Crew List menu
• Storage
• End of the expedition menu
• Decreased loot respawn timers from 30 min to 20 min
• Fully loaded turrets will now drop loaded ammo on the ground under you when dismantled
• Fixed the issue when the nickname of the player appears as ‘Unknown’ on the invitation pop-up
• Broken failure point SFX no longer plays when the Reactor was turned off
• Fixed the issue when an incorrect Ammo icon would appear on the HUD
• Fixed the issue that the character wasn’t able to climb some of the ladders
• Fixed the issue when the compass wouldn’t work on the map
• Fixed the issue when the character cannot crouch while carrying the Repair Kit and Raw Aurogen Crystal
• Fixed the issue when the first level of the trampler would look black in the Trampler Editor
• Graphics Settings Update
• Replaced “Off” with Very Low preset for the fog and shadows
• Some of the players turned off fog and shadows to have an advantage against other players
• Very Low graphical preset will be set by default for players with low-end GPUs
• Default DLSS settings will be set based on the GPU and screen resolution

Known Issues

• Character may become transparent in Spectator mode in some cases
• The character cannot enter the Expedition if the Invite has been accepted at the Tutorial pop-up background
• Items may be displayed inside the character’s body in some cases
• Large items may float around the character
• Character may become invulnerable to melee damage while interacting with turrets or the steering wheel
• Bullets can pass through the character on speed-boosted trampler
• This will be fixed in the upcoming updates
• Upiors positioned may be different between client and server
• On the client, it looks like Upior doesn’t receive damage, but you might see their “shimmering/blink” body near them
• Shotgun might not deal damage at close range distance
• Ironclads can be triggered multiple times by re-entering the trigger area
• In teams of 2 or more players: players will be softlocked after grabbing the zipline until all the players will grab the zipline.
• Softlock player will not be moved into the spectator mode and camera stays on the ground.
• Player will receive loot on the extract.
• Fix will be released next week
