G202s and Cheating

Hello!

There's a lot going on under the hood on Just Survive. While the overwhelming majority of players play the game fairly, there is a subset of folks who seek to exploit and cheat their way to victory without any sense of dignity or morality.

There are multiple vectors through which people attempt to cheat, including:

  • Modifying the way the game or BattlEye (part of our anti-cheat system) communicate with the game servers
  • Modifying the way the game client runs, or the files it uses
  • Finding and exploiting a rule breaking bug, ie to duplicate items or push through collision

The recent updates have included significant improvements to our detection features across all of the above. We've shut down a significant number of cheats and exploits over the past few weeks.

One of our most powerful weapons in the anti-cheat arsenal is still relatively new, and we're working out the kinks - this is why we have seen two batches of erroneous G202s. We fixed it the first time around but are investigating this second issue still to determine why things went haywire. A fix for this has just been pushed out just moments ago.

If you have received a G202 erroneously, there is no need to plead your innocence - the error will clear with time and you'll be able to get back in.

HOWEVER, there are a number of folks this weekend who thought they had found a great new cheat method that was undetected. They are wrong, and a large ban wave is incoming. We expect these folks to surface and plead their innocence, attempting to confuse the issue for everyone who isn't cheating.

Again, if you have received a G202 and are not cheating, you have nothing to worry about in the coming days. If you have been cheating, even if you haven't received a G202, enjoy the ban. We are targeting an update for late this week focused around anti-cheat and G202s that will close up a number of exploits and cheats.
