TAKING SERIOUS ACTION AGAINST CHEATERS The latest initiative allows for a closer look at players and account limits while under observation Key updates were made to
the Spectating System, with the addition of a live review
mechanism A 10-year ban was
issued to over 10,000 players who were found cheating on
the platform DUBAI,– In ongoing
efforts to updating its security measures and in-game
system, PUBG MOBILE has announced the latest
countermeasures taken to improve competitiveness and
crack down on cheaters. The newest updates include the
introduction of a new Safety Observation Period,
improvements on the Spectating System, and the
successful remedy of an ongoing cheat that killed players in
one-shot. As the latest tactic to maintaining a fair gaming
environment for all, PUBG MOBILE has introduced a Safety
Observation Period. With the help of artificial intelligence
and machine learning, the new system will automatically
identify players who are attempting to gain unfair
advantages by violating the game’s end-user license
agreement. Once any triggering behavior is detected,
players will be removed from the matching queue and
required to play the game under a Safety Observation
Period. During the Safety Observation Period, players will
not be matched with players who are not under safety
observation and will not record any earnings or stats from
their matches. They will also be unable to team-up or
spectate message, and only be able to access limited game
modes until the observation period. If players damage the
fair gaming environment while under observation, they will
be banned. Taking anti-cheating measures one step further,
PUBG MOBILE has also built on the existing Spectate Mode
and added a new peer review mechanism. The game server
will now determine in real-time if a given player is visible in
the view of the game host, using that information to decide
whether or not to transmit the location data to spectators.
The updated Spectating System Upgrade aims to achieve
two key improvements: Resolve the use of cheating by
manipulating the existing Spectate Mode Further improve
upon Spectate Mode to better identify and eliminate
suspicious behaviors elsewhere in the game. The
Spectating System consists of three separate roles,
including the host, game server and spectator. Previously,
cheaters were able to take advantage of Spectate Mode by
using two devices to pinpoint in-game enemy players and
gain an unfair advantage. But now, the newly added
mechanism can determine that if a player is not visible in
the view of the host, it will not transmit the location data of
the player to spectators. This upgrade not only eliminates
the possibility of the unfair cheating by spectating, but also
ensures plug-ins will not be able to modify game data,
which strongly guarantees the security and reliability. In
addition, this solution does not affect the experience of
users who spectate matches normally. In addition to the
Safety Observation Period and upgraded Spectating
System, PUBG MOBILE has also remedied an ongoing cheat
that defeats players (opponents) in one-shot. Below is an
official statement from the patch note regarding the fix:
“PUBG MOBILE’s official team is dedicated to bringing you a
fair gaming environment by punishing players who disturb
this environment. Through player feedback, we have
recently discovered a new cheat that one-shot defeats
players then inverts their screen momentarily. The official
team immediately went into action and tracked players
who have used this cheat. Over 10,000 players have been
issued a 10-year ban from the Operations team for harming
the gaming environment. Our team will not show restraint
to those who undermine the fair gaming environment and
use cheats of this type. PUBG MOBILE Operations Team will
continue to work hard to provide the best gaming
experience for all players who follow the rules. We ask all
players for their support in our continued enforcement.
Please respect the rules of the game and play fair.” Today’s
anti-cheat measures follows the “Project: Ban Pan”
campaign, which was first revealed at the PUBG MOBILE
Club Open 2019 Fall Split Global Finals. The initiative has
introduced the Death Replay function in the last update,
which allows players to immediately see how they were
killed from the perspective of their opponent to further
identify suspicious behavior. By improving the ability to
detect new forms of cheating, PUBG MOBILE is taking more
stringent action against cheaters with 10 years ban and
continues to enhance the security of the game in all aspects
to create a fair gaming environment.
