Today, Delta Force announced it’s implementing even more anti-cheat features and cracking the whip on both cheaters and people who enable them, while also trying to give back to the players who have to go against them.
First things first, it’s important to note that many of the cheats in Delta Force are kernel-level cheats (which include things like VT and DMA). According to Delta Force, over 70% of penalized cheaters use kernel-level cheats that are difficult to detect because of how they run. Standard cheats are easy to detect because they go in and mess with the data of the game itself. These are easy to detect and ban. Because of this, most players are smart enough to avoid them.
Almost 50% of kernel-level cheat users receive a 10-year ban in Delta Force. Now, these penalties can move to those teaming up with cheaters consistently.
The new anti-cheat feature will dish out penalties to players who are constantly playing with cheaters. Each case is reviewed, and these players will receive penalties that vary. They can include bans and bans related to the cheater being taken away.
Additionally, another new feature will help reduce the losses that players experience going against cheaters who receive 10-year bans. If a player goes against someone who’s later confirmed to be cheating, then they can get their gear and weapons back. This applies specifically to Hazard Operation in Extraction Mode. This process can take time.
The compensation system is rolling out slowly to ensure that it’s as flawless as possible before hitting everyone.
Yesterday, Delta Force also announced that changes to matchmaking in Oceania and the Middle East are being adjusted. Both regions have been experiencing significant wait times. AI bots will be introduced to help this. As players join, these bots will go away. All bots will have an AI tag so players can easily tell who is a bot. These changes go live today.
