Solution: How to get rid of MKb cheaters on console, but does Ubi care? | Forums

[Aenigmatista]

The Plat1 and Diamond meta is plagued with MKb cheaters, there is no getting around that fact. This thread is not here to discuss whether MKb usage on consoles is cheating, it is cheating and that has been confirmed multiple times on this forum by Ubisoft: https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/1852078-Allow-mnkb-on-console-Forums
Ubi-Zoro:
"Console recoils are different than PC for a reason. Mouse&keyboard offer a distinct advantage for controlling recoil and therefore are not allowed on console."

Many people believe these cheaters can't be detected. This is untrue.

There are algorithms to think of that will work a 100% (regardless of the fact the adapters emulate controller inputs etc) and it is very easy to implement. To prevent cheaters circumventing the detection method I'm not willing to discuss it in the open. I think most people will understand that. I also have a strategy how to make sure those who do use MKb adapters as of now can be given a chance to stop cheating with no consequences.

I have one question though, is Ubisoft willing to take measures in the first place or not? If so, I'll tell the method in private. If not, then it is abundantly clear consoles are a low priority market as there is no level playing field.

EDIT: the devs got notified within a few days after this thread, no response. I guess console is a low priority.

fam, you're gonna get no where making bold claims like that with nothing to back it up... If the solution is 100% fool proof then why not share it?

Does anyone that kill you use a keyboard?

Keyboard and mouse is almost mandatory at upper plat/diamond ranks, due to how common it is and how much of an advantage it gives...

Indeed. I managed to remain diamond which is solely based on strategy, I don't stand a fair chance in a 1vs1 duel.

If Ubisoft is interested in combating this issue I'm happy to provide the details, so far I haven't noticed any.

Perhaps, but that's becuase they wouldn't want to waste their time. If you never give any details, for all Ubi knows your solution could be something like looking at accuracy stats...

Perhaps send them your suggestion through their support channel. That way you don't have to wait for a green light here and if they don't respond there, you'll know they aren't interested.

It is baffling and frankly infuriating that Ubi has not stopped M&KB cheating yet. I am convinced that they don’t give a ****.

Is it really the fault of Ubisoft for not being able to detect something that is made to fool CONSOLE FIRST, and game second. It doesnt make GAME think its a pad, its fooling the console. If the hardware is not able to detect that I dont know how would you achieve it with software.
