Hundreds of thousands of Battlefield 6 cheaters banned before the game even started - developers talk about fighting rule-breakers

Many cheat developers complain about their software malfunctioning.

Battlefield 6 developers recently presented a new diary on fighting cheaters in multiplayer. This issue covers data for June of the current year.

This month saw most of the third season, and according to the developers, this first season of ranked games gave them “many valuable lessons.”

Battlefield Studios published a graph of MIR (Match Infection Rate) changes – this refers to the percentage of matches in Battlefield 6 negatively affected by at least one cheater. This number includes all suspected cheaters, even those against whom the developers may not have enough evidence to apply a penalty.

Initially, in June, the MIR was 5.52% and the indicator continued to slowly grow, reaching an initial peak of 6.37% on the 11th. Then, the developers explain, there was a slight decrease during the month until June 24th, when the indicator began to rise from 5.88% and by the end of June, at the time of preparing the report, it was 6.59%.

The creators of Battlefield 6 noted that the EA Javelin Anti-Cheat system prevented 226,592 attempts to use cheats or interfere with the game before they could affect the outcome of matches. More than 100 cheat developers/cheat projects tracked by the developers are experiencing complaints about malfunctions.

They also reported that they are working on updating the list of prohibited hardware and software, against which measures will be applied in Season 4.
