Warzone devs admit anti-cheat detection issue as Xbox Game Pass cheaters ramp up ActivisionThe Warzone devs have responded to players claiming that the battle royale is \u201cunplayable\u201d due to a raft of cheaters flooding the game with the new Xbox Game Pass exploit. Warzone has had it\u2019s fair share of issues with cheaters over the last few years, but they\u2019ve ramped up another notch recently. With Modern Warfare 3 now being available on Xbox Game Pass, PC players are now able to be flagged in-game as console players instead, through Game Pass Ultimate. Non-cheat users have complained that hackers have been using this method as a way to hide themselves and not be detected by the RICOCHET anti-cheat. As a result of this, many fans have called the game \u201cunplayable\u201d in Season 5, prompting them to leave Warzone alone until the issues are fully rooted out. Well, the RICOCHET anti-cheat team has been at work to try and get things ironed out. \u201cRICOCHET Anti-Cheat resolved an issue with a detection system over the weekend, which resulted in a spike in cheater reports. For clarity, #TeamRICHOCHET is able to detect the specific platform for all users, despite how they may appear in-game,\u201d the devs said on July 29. \u201cIf you suspect a player in your lobby is cheating, regardless of platform, we recommend you submit a report in-game for further investigation. We remain committed to combating cheaters, shutting down cheat vendors, and providing our players a fair and fun experience.\u201d Some players quickly jumped on the devs\u2019 statement, urging them to wipe the leaderboards in Ranked of any cheaters. \u201cCan we get the cheaters wiped out of the top 250 please,\u201d one asked. \u201cPlease investigate ranked leaderboards more thoroughly and large majority are hacking blatantly,\u201d another replied. Others asked if the devs can update the game so that the PC players no longer have the console symbol. \u201cSo are you gonna have an update that fixes a game pass player looking like they\u2019re playing on Xbox?\u201d It remains to be seen if the wave of new cheaters starts to die down off the back of this, and while players clearly still want more to be done, Activision has still been shutting down cheat sellers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
