Bluehole tar krafttag mot folk som fuskar i Battlegrounds. Efter lanseringen av version 1.0 upptäckte man återkommande tecknen på fusk, varpå man granskade över 10 miljoner spelare och ännu fler loggar. Det har resulterat i att man hittat fler än 100 000 fuskande Battlegrounds-spelare, och samtliga dessa konton kommer stängas av i ett svep. Det berättar utvecklarna i ett Steam-inlägg.

We recently discovered a new pattern of cheats in action. This week, we performed a thorough gameplay data review of 10 million players and completed analysis of tens of millions of data logs. Through this exercise, we were able to identify over 100,000 instances of the new pattern related to use of cheat and now we have confirmed that it was clearly an attempt of compromising our game. These players will be permanently banned in a single wave.

Men arbetet tar inte slut där, skriver man. Analyserna av befintliga loggar fortsätter, och man planerar för nya antifuskverktyg. Därtill samarbetar man med myndigheter i vissa länder för att hitta och ställa fusktillverkare och fuskdistributörer inför rätta.

We will continue to check the data logs like this even if it means the anti-cheat team has to filter through hundreds of billions of data logs manually. In addition, we are looking into adopting a new solution to detect and ban more cheaters and we have been continuously strengthening our security systems. We have also liaised with investigative authorities in some countries to take legal actions against developers and distributors of cheats. We are determined to take strong measures against them going forward.

I övrigt berättas kort om den senaste patchen, som justerar hur blåzonen fungear.

Blue zone balance adjustment

  • Slightly decreased the waiting time of the blue zones in mid-to-late phase of a match

  • Slightly decreased the shrinking speed of the blue zones in mid-to-late phase (In this phase, blue zones will now move at a slower speed and the travel time of blue zones has slightly increased due to this change)

  • Slightly increased the damage per second of the last blue zone
