    Unable to report cheaters, servers can't identify them

    So I played some DZ yesterday and there was a player there killing us with rpm hacks through walls and far away, this guy was also teleporting/disappearing all the time. When we tried to use the report function all we got all the time was "player not found" So the cheater roamed free and nobody could report him. Wtf is this bs!

    Ghost Recon outfit.

    Jest aside, how difficult can it be for a code-monkey to inject a line rendering him invisible to the server? I'd bet it's very easy and a logical step to take to bypass the report function.

    Looks like it yeah. Can't even find him from Division Tracker or his uplay profile. Found him from unofficial Division forum.

    Record footage via Shadow play or the like. That's probably the only foolproof way to get the Dev's attention.

    This guys playername was very easy to spell, completely normal - no way to spell it wrong. Yet nobody could report him due to server not recognizing him.

    Yeah, I do that now whenever I find a cheater.

    Gotta admit I have encountered something similar. I could not report the player yet a friend of mine could. Was odd. It was an easy to spell name too.

    No video you record can change a thing about this amateur code, my guess is TD2 will be the earliest point where we'll see some ( probably third party ) anticheat, and by coincidence the game will be released around the same time as the movie.

    Considering Year 2 DLC is in the works I hope that it will come sooner, if at all. Though from some article that I read soon after release and the rise of all the cheaters, it suggested to get a proper anti-cheat is a massive undertaking, they pretty much need to re-code the majority of the game and netcode. Hopefully this is something they have been working on all this time, but I have my doubts.

    Were you still unable to use the group management tab and find them through the recent players?
