Durante la serata di ieri gli sviluppatori di Respawn hanno mostrato alla community di Apex Legends i risultati della guerra ai cheaters che dura ormai da diversi mesi.

Grazie agli ultimi dati pubblicati abbiamo potuto scoprire che, da Apex Legends, sono stati bannati quasi 800 mila account (770 mila per la precisione, ndr), oltre al fatto che sono stati bloccati più di 300 mila “account creations”.

Inoltre, Respawn ha provveduto ad eliminare più di 4.000 account usati dai cheat seller per vendere i programmi di cheating: tutti questi sforzi dovrebbero aver garantito una riduzione del 50% delle partite influenzate dagli imbroglioni in questi ultimi giorni.

Cosa ne pensate di questi ultimi aggiornamenti? Avete riscontrato anche voi una certa diminuzione nelle partite influenzate dai cheaters?
Di seguito andiamo a leggere il comunicato ufficiale riportato da Respawn.

Il comunicato ufficiale

Hey all, in the blog post last week, I mentioned we’d have an update on anti-cheat for Apex on PC. We’ve got some updated stats and some interesting tidbits on things we’re doing.

We’ve been working closely with key experts across EA including: EA Security and Fraud, the Origin teams, our fellow developers at DICE, FIFA, and Capital Games, in addition to Easy-Anti-Cheat. While we’ve already rolled out several updates (and will be continually doing so for the foreseeable future), others will take time to fully implement. While we can’t share details on what we’re doing so as to not give a head’s up to the cheat makers, what we can say is that we’re attacking this from every angle, from improvements to detecting cheaters, bolstering resources and tools, to improving processes and other sneaky things to combat sellers and cheaters. We can share some high level stats of progress that’s been made:

• The recently added in-game reporting tool has had a big impact on discovering new cheats, including previously undetectable cheats that are now being found automatically via EAC
• Total bans are now at 770K players
• We have blocked over 300K account creations
• We have banned over 4,000 cheat seller accounts (spammers) in the last 20 days
• Total affected matches on PC impacted by cheaters or spammers has been reduced by over half in the last month due to recent efforts

We take cheating in Apex incredibly serious and have a large amount of resources tackling it from a variety of angles. It is a constant war with the cheat makers that we will continue to fight.

We’ll be back next week with an update on another one of the issues called out in last week’s post. In the meantime, there have been a number of reports of the missing close footsteps audio on Reddit. We have only seen a few videos of those situations, so if you could please include video with your post illustrating the issue that will be a big help for us in ensuring we can fix the problem.
