Titanfall's Anticheat Is Now Being Enforced

Titanfall uses FairFight to detect cheaters on PC. Since the launch of Titanfall, we've been collecting data on people who are cheating on PC but not immediately enforcing bans. As of Friday, March 21st, that has changed and we have started banning cheaters in Titanfall.

We will be continuing to tweak the algorithm over time to catch more cheaters.

FAQ:
Q.) How do I know if I’m banned?
A.) Here’s what you’d see at the Private Lobby screen:

If you don't see that, then you aren't banned.

Q.) So what happens if I get banned?
A.) Great news: you get to keep playing Titanfall! Less-great news: you only get to play with other cheaters. You can play with other banned players in something that will resemble the Wimbledon of aimbot contests. Hopefully the aimbot cheat you paid for really is the best, or these all-cheater matches could be frustrating for you. Good luck.

Q.) If I’m banned, what happens if I make a party with my non-cheater friends?
A.) When anyone in your party is banned, then everyone in your party will be treated as banned for that play session. If you are a non-cheater and you invite a cheater friend into a party, you will be stuck playing against cheaters. If you stop inviting your cheater friend, you will once again get to play with the non-cheater population. You do not get permanently tainted just by playing with a cheater - you are only banned for cheating if you are actually cheating.

Q.) How do I get unbanned?
A.) You can contact anticheat@respawn.com if you think you've been banned unfairly.

Good, cheaters are scum.



There was something like this before - i think it was an indie dev punishing those that pirated the game in an ironic manner

Anyway, this is a good method of discouraging cheaters.

There's a good amount of AAA games that punish piracy too. Like Mirrors Edge and the Arkham games

Loving this this will remove the "fun" from cheating, i just hope they can detect hacks properly

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

awesome if 100% accurate.   if even 1 non-cheater gets banned they'll have hell to pay.

I assume they will monitor which programs interact with the game, and have a list which programs are allowed and which are not...
Probably still a work around this if you are really desperate.

That's pretty smart. They keep cheaters away from non-cheaters, yet they still have the potential to make money off of them.
