This one that I commented here in the post, are still playing and winning all the games.
Jk- off with their heads!
The thing about the path to the relic in the exact position, in a unexplored space, is already obvious that those are Hacks. The worst thing is that it seems that now that they buffed the OotD a little, the hacks are using this civs to hide that they are using hacks to increase the age of the castles faster and capture all the relics. And that is quite denounceable.
Since now, Iām going to check any games I have against people who play OftD, so they donāt do it to me.
Today I got one more
Besides looking at the fog area, at the enemy base, he even sent a knight to kill villagers gathering from boar that he hasnāt scouted, but as I moved the villagers before, the knight went straight for where the villagers are hiding.

I donāt think they need to hide that theyāre using the map hack since thereās no penalty, for example, the first guy that I mentioned here is still playing.

This player has been reported. Itās a matter of patience and that he will be sanctioned sooner rather than laterā¦

Are there even any active moderators for AoE IV? Players using such software is illegal with the ToS.

Yesterday I found two more, on a 2V2 match, I watched the replay and two guys are using the map hack, I already reported them.
But Iām still keeping track of the first one that I mentioned here, and the guy is still using the hack, so maybe is going to be the meta.
After more than a month since it was reported:
Today on 4V4
I just catch another map hacker. If anyone has interest I may PM you the recorded replay.
Besides banning the cheater, would Relics/Microsoft consider to allow refunding ELO when cheating case is confirmed?
its seems devs ban some hackerļ¼but they will not reply u reporyļ¼some hacker in my black list had never play the game after i report them

I think if they ban the player will be enough, but the number of players using map hacks seems to be increasing, and if the players are reporting I feel like they are doing nothing.
If you want, I can take a look at your game to confirm so you can report him.
The feedback is not important, the action is, every day I find a new map hacker, I donāt feel like they are doing something about it,

If you want to catch mapahck user, watch carefully in speed x1 in cheaters view AND with all map revealed how he collects his sheeps. Most of the time you can be sure 90% itās a cheater, they would just collect sheeps one by one and watch em in fog of war with sometimes completly unlogical pathing, sometimes also very very quickly checking your scout in fog of war if his scount is going to meet yours and miss potential sheep steals.
Most of cheaters i caught, if not vast majority, were in team games and nearly never 1V1, and sorry if i offend chinese legit players but most of em are chineses with fresh accounts and no names, usually premades. Thatās actully ruining the game for me, the more you rank up, the more you encounter conqs/diamonds with bad macro and decision making, actual low plats/golds using maphack, I donāt like that much 1V1 anymore soā¦

The 3-stack premade team my friends and me caught maphacking a week ago and we all reported them, are still playing happily as wellā¦
Is there noone to process the reports anymore???
I mean, all 3 of them are maphacking every single game and flawlessly raiding food vills, dodging army shift-click spamming all the sheep with their scout in the non-revealed map in dark ageā¦
If only 1 Dev/mod would take a QUICK LOOK into it, theyād all get immediately banned.
Seems like cheaters are part of this game and MS is fine with that.

Well imo relic is hoping and thinking cheating is not that big, affecting only low /mid elos multiplayer, which is the case, but they ruin many playersā fun. Just do something, at least take in consideration players reports and ban actual players instead of banning em , if they actually do, 3 days penalty or somthing, then 1 week, and so like itās as important as chat ban penaltiesā¦
I mean wtf. Iām quite "decent "player, d1 to d3 1V1 and d1 to conq multi,considering the civs i play, not braging at all, just want to say that sometimes iām āsmurfingā because i want to try to learn new civs and build orders in multi, and i have to play with ālegitā golds/low plats playing fairly and being completly decimated by full premades chineses stacks doing complete non sense builds , abusing cheats, i feel really pity for theses guys , they try to learn and have fun but they wonāt learn anything vs nasty premades cheaters who see everything AND also abuse of the cheesiest and easiest build orders doable (like 3V1 ram push timing and things like that)
I mean itās not only that they cheat, itās not enough, they have the benefit of being premades, which is yet a big advantage, prolly using apps like discord and have real time plan, but even worst, they also make the cheesiest and nastiest openings while seing everything vs mostly non premades players.
This REALLY sucks. At this level they canāt do anything just lose. Please relic fix cheaters problem
Low and mid-level players are the majority, this first guy that I mentioned here is level 3 thousand, he plays a lot of matches, so imagine how many games this guy ruined.

This is a damn joke.
An official statement of the DEVS is now more than overdue.
They better tell us that they are on the topicā¦
Good news and bad news.
when I reported cheaters in Jan, they only notify me they have received my complaint. But in the last report 1-2 weeks ago, they did ask me for more information about the game and stream id of both players. And after investigated, they did notify me for the first time they confirmed it is cheating and "determined it was a violation of ā¦ ".
However, they decided not to ban that cheater immediately. (maybe they will ban him laterā¦) That guy continue to play the game right now. é£åéå ā AoE4 World
If you have interest, take a look at the YouTube video I record to report that player, disabled Free Camera looking at his perspective.
It is indeed very amazing to me this kind of map hack cheating is not a bannable cheat. If this happens again, I probably will quit. There is no fun to play a game that dev allows cheating.
