In order to further prevent game cheating and hacking. We are implementing BattlEye Anti-Cheat system next patch. I plan to have BattlEye disabled by default and server admins will be able to enable battleye support to secure the servers as needed.
Once BattlEye has been determined to be stable and functional, it will be set as the default option and enabled on all official servers.
With implementing BattlEye, we get amazing features included such as Remote Server Administration Tools that allow admins to connect to the server remotely with a password manage bans and kick players. etc.
While there was more important things to implement such as bug fixes to Server Crashes and Progression, I felt that cheaters are a serious problem that caused problems both for server stability and game enjoyment.
