Hunters,
We wanted to take a moment to address an issue that has been popping up everywhere over the last few weeks, the ladder glitch.
First and foremost, we are currently working on this as a high priority and hope to release a fix for it as soon as possible. This is a much bigger issue than previous exploits, so it is taking a bit longer for us to resolve it, but we at least wanted to take the time to acknowledge it and make sure everyone knows we are working on it.
Next, we want to address some points that have been brought up through posts and videos:
We have not been removing content related to this to hide its existence. That would be a pointless exercise. It exists; you know this, and we know this. We are however trying to stop the spread of the instruction videos as this only serves to increase the number of people that use this exploit.
Crytek employees do not have the ability to remove or delete posts on this subreddit. If you need to discuss reddit moderation, please use the subs modmail for assistance. On other platforms such as discord and Steam discussions, sharing an exploit is a violation of the rules and as such this content will be removed.
We are actively banning people for using this exploit, but these bans DO NOT show on steam profiles. Some videos have stated we have not banned any of the serious offenders, but this is incorrect. Any report we receive, whether it be through a player report or through the many videos that have been shared, has been thoroughly investigated and has had action taken where appropriate. First offenders will receive a temporary ban but repeat offenders receive longer bans which can and will lead to a perma-ban.
If you encounter other players using this, please report them. For us to effectively investigate and act against those using this exploit, we need them to be reported through the correct channels. This can be done in-game and through huntshowdown.com (create a ticket with the details that are requested and once finished, reply to the message with any extra details or video links if you have any). We encourage you all to record these encounters as much as possible and ask that when making reports through our website to please include videos as often as you can. The best way to get this evidence to us is by uploading it to YouTube or another platform and sharing the link in your ticket.
And just to clarify, these reports DO work, so it is important to use these channels to help us combat the issue from this side while we work to resolve the issue itself.
- Please do not spread the instruction videos around the community. This is not to hide it, rather we ask this to prevent it being used by more and more players. While some of you may have good intentions by sharing this to bring awareness and we do apprecaite that, sharing the instructions will just mean more and more people will abuse it further.
Tl;dr - While there is probably a lot more that can be discussed around this topic, the main points are these:
- We are very aware of the issue and are doing what we can to resolve it as quickly as possible.
- Those that abuse this exploit will be banned, repeat offenders will receive longer bans up to and including perma-bans.
- We are not ignoring or trying to hide the issue and will provide further updates when we have more information to share.
Thanks.
~The Hunt team.
