"The plans include "updating our Anti-Cheat systems for improved detection and bans," and speaking directly to one of the main sources of complaint, "applying client-side fixes specifically addressing the 'out of map' glitch." There are also plans to bring in measures and tools for streamers to "help mitigate stream sniping"-the issue where players can see where streamers are on a map and what they're doing, and using this to the sniper's advantage."
"Following a number of high-profile streamers stating they had had enough of a new plague of cheating in extraction shooter hit Arc Raiders, developers Embark have responded with word that "significant changes" are coming to try to address the issues. Posting to the official Discord for the game, Embark's community lead OssenJ assured players that the developer was aware of the conversation, and "taking this issue very seriously.""
Embark acknowledged rising cheating and committed to implementing significant ruleset changes and new detection mechanisms to identify and remove cheaters over the next few weeks. The team cited delays caused by winter vacation and a need to catch up following staff return. Planned measures include updating Anti-Cheat systems for improved detection and bans, applying client-side fixes targeting the 'out of map' glitch, and adding tools to help streamers mitigate stream sniping. Some streamers and figures urged stronger action, including legal measures used by larger studios, but doubts remain about resource parity between small developers and major companies.
