The devs behindFall Guyshave been promising a fix for the cheating problemfor a while now. Today, a long-awaited update has been given by the game’s social media account, which said “we’re expanding the current detection system this week to improve things,”
and there is another big update coming the next few weeks to add the same anti-cheat system used by games such asFortnite.
Fortniteis another hugely popular battle royale game that suffers from cheaters and hackers. The game has cracked down to eliminate these players, and currently uses software such as Easy Anti-Cheat and BattlEye while issuing bans against individual players. The use of the dual anti-cheat systems has helpedFortnitedecrease the amount of hackers, and ifFall Guysis planning to use these methods as well it is a promising sign that the cheating problem will be curbed.
Fall Guyshas also been in the process of launching patchesthat have even the numbers on team games, fix PS4 controller settings, and update the geometry of certain level designs. However, there are still a few features that players are calling, for such as an updated tail-grab mechanic and better tracking of a player’s personal statistics. The team atFall Guyscould also consider introducing a reporting function so that players are able to point out any hackers the detection software misses.
The larger anti-cheat update is said to be rolling out in the next couple of weeks, so it will hopefully be implemented in time for the start ofFall GuysSeason 2. The new season is expected to start in early October, bringing new mini-games, costumes, and a medieval theme to the game. Players are also hoping the game will be available on platforms such as Nintendo Switch and Xbox, which is something that theFall Guysteam are considering introducing in the future.
