Pc hacks

@galactic-geek where is the support email? I have not found a support email for rare yet.
Appreciated if you can share the support email.
I will try to catch the next one that is cheating on Video.
Too many these days, so should not be difficult to catch the next and crack down on that.
Amazes me that ppl think of cheating is most likely the ones that can’t develop real skills in the game and only want to brag about something they are not! (A good player)

@wolfmanbush this is not assumption and speculation, I am 100% when I see a aimbot and esp, is really not difficult to spot from the actual good players

Spotting you from behind a rock? how big is this rock that you think they cant see around it or saw you sailing behind it? lol. I have noticed some players having extremely accurate chain shots, making me have to board their ship to possibly fight back but it doesnt happen constantly, I also get people who shoot into the water everytime with their chain shots.

As far as cannonball shots, I make 95% of my shots when I decide to shoot cannons and not fight, people dont need to be calling me a cheater since After that 1st or 2nd shot, I get a feel for how far they are and hit everytime(almost)

Are you playing on Xbox or PC

@wolfmanbush

That was an unnecessary comment on your part. And yes, is pretty obvious when someone is using an aimbot/esp or not, if you “actually” know how to play the game.
As for an UFO, I kind of doubt that is pretty obvious or not. Pretty sure if you made a comment like that and does not work for Rare, then you most likely are one of those sad ppl that cheats and felt offended by my comment, because usually ppl that cheats, “think” what they are doing is “natural” and nobody will notice, and no, I don’t need a PHD in psychology to know that...that is pretty obvious too.

@elderterdkin
Nope, is completely different than that,
Making most of your shots (canon or not), is not uncommon, I have seen and played with extremely skillful players.
As you said you can hit about 95% of your shot, if you can hit 100% of your shots, that would be super player right? Nobody is 100%,
Again comes back to the stupid clip video evidence , which, next time it happens I will be submitting to rare, explaining in the forum won’t illustrate what I am seeing.
And yes pretty big rocks, lol. Not little “beach” pebbles. If you can hit 100% of your gun and cannonball shots, then you are the best online player I have ever encounter

@wolfmanbush
If your comments are not going to be productive to crack down on cheaters and be as ignorant as the one you just posted, please try another topic in this forum that best suit your small minded way of thinking and communicating online.
I would “draw” if I could so you can understand better, but I will try to illustrate for you in words.

UFO= not proven it exist or does not

Ancient aliens= garbage show on tv, very sorry you watch that

Aimbots/esp= an actual program that exists and is being used in a clandestine way in games

Cheating = utilizing means and ways that was NOT provided by the game to gain advantage of the gameplay because the skills of cheaters are below average level.

Agreed, but where people are disagreeing with you is your certainty that
a) They are everywhere and encountered pretty much every session
b) that you can tell 100% that someone is cheating.

Also I find it interesting you seem to aggressively attack anyone on here who advises you on the points above. No doubt you will also call me a cheater just for posting this.

@maximo287

look i've kind of been reading your replies and the problem here is unless you have difinative proof you can't 100% say that cheating is going on and you don't seem to aknowledge that fact. Instead you get passive aggressive and rude to anyone that doesn't agree with you.

You can't 100% know if the crew you played against were cheating sitting on your side of the pc, they may have just been that good. and honestly to an outsider you just sound like a salty pirate who doesn't like that they get sunk by other pirates, because you will not even consider that you might be wrong, that you may not have this stunning sense of what is a bot or a good player.

i've sat in the room with my kids playing fortnite and screaming aimbot everytime a player better than them kills them, its kind of how you are sounding right now to to be honest :S

Support - How to report a player

At the bottom you can raise a ticket.

I’m 98% sure that you got outplayed and called hacks. There are tons of videos of people getting attacked by streamers and when the streamer dies they yell call aimbot, esp, movement hacks, macros, invincibility, etc. In reality they are players who think nobody can be better them. Honestly dude, the things you mentioned like spotting the ship is not difficult and landing every shot, you’re probably getting back tracked.

I really hope you know that cheating in sea of thives is really hard, the dev's are really onto their bans. What you are experiencing is called playing against good players. Honestly people need to stop the hate towards pc players it's disgusting. Out of 10,000 players you MIGHT find one that is cheating, and I hope you also realise that xbox players have always been able to cheat as well on most games including sea of thives. You can hook your xbox up to a laptop or pc and do it from there. You need to get better at the game or stop complaining. If you have a suspicions that someone is cheating report them. Rare is good with that sort of thing. Do not call cheats and hacks to everyone else just because you aren't the best. Makes me sick whenever I see posts like this pointed at pc players when almost all of us do not cheat. There has been instances where xbox players have cheated too, and just like pc cheats they get banned. Ridiculous post.

There are people cheating but its nearly impossible to prove.

Check out this video from two months ago of a guy demonstrating how people cheat. [mod edit]

It will always be possible to cheat, as soon as a cheat is located and fixed, the hack is rewritten to avoid detection. Its a never ending cycle.

The majority of people do not cheat and I don’t think it effects the everyday gaming experience. I’ve had some encounters that suggest cheating but even a video isn't proof. I’m guessing it would take multiple reports of the same account to generate a ban, and the cheater could just make a new account and continue cheating.

I think we just have to accept the fact that we might encounter cheaters once in awhile, the best thing to do is leave the game and go to a new server.

Unless you have clips of their characters snapping to your side it's gonna be hard to prove anything. With over 1,700 hours in the game I have not seen a single hacker. Not to say there aren't any, just to say it's most likely skill.

@maximo287 if you want an easy way to record your bits of gameplay, you can try downloading Twitch Stuido Beta, its free and lets you record or stream, that way every night depending on if you record or stream, you can delete it if there was nothing strange happening or edit the recording if something does, that way you can send it in to Rare later.
