‘Battlefield 2042’ May Suffer From A Rampant Cheater Problem On Launch
KEY POINTS
Cheat makers got their hands on the stolen Frostbite Engine source code last month
Players will have some ways to police servers on their own when the game launches
It’s no secret that almost every “Battlefield” game in the past has suffered from the presence of hackers populating DICE’s official servers. This might also be the case with the upcoming “Battlefield 2042” as the stolen source code for the Frostbite Engine might have made it to the hands of cheat makers everywhere.
In June, hackers tried to ransom the stolen source code, which EA refused to pay. Some weeks later, cheats for “Battlefield 2042” were already being put up for sale on various cheat websites. This might just lead to a catastrophic launch for the game as the series is notorious for its lackluster anti-cheat measures.
