Even this game publisher must be astonished at the widespread nature of hacking and cheating in the game.
Hacking and cheating continue to plague games, particularly FPS shooters like Escape From Tarkov. Once lauded as a top-tier game for its challenging gameplay, Escape From Tarkov has now plummeted due to uncontrollable hacking issues.
Recently, Battlestate Game developers announced that they are banning thousands of cheaters every day, with the number steadily increasing. However, this seems to have little effect on the hacker and cheater community. Evidence shows that up to 60% of matches in Escape from Tarkov are plagued by hacking and cheating. Just by observing the outcry from legitimate players on forums, it's clear that Escape from Tarkov is in crisis.
It's undeniable that Battlestate Game has made efforts and implemented measures to combat cheating, but it's still not enough. Even when cheaters are detected, Escape from Tarkov's system takes time to process information and does not immediately enforce penalties. Notably, it's too easy to find and download cheating software for this game with a simple keyword search.
Rebuilding trust with gamers will be extremely challenging for Battlestate Game, especially when everything seems to be spiraling out of control for this publisher.
