Marauders developers have intensified their efforts in thwarting cheaters from ruining the experience of everyone in the recently released United Allies update.
Since Denuvo Anti-Cheat was implemented in Marauders, developers have had much success in catching and reporting offenders. However, the banning process had to be done manually, which meant that it took some time before appropriate action was taken against these cheaters.
After months of testing, they are now confident in enabling the auto-banning feature of Denuvo Anti-Cheat. So, what does this mean for legitimate players? It means that the game can get rid of cheaters faster than before. Although this is not a foolproof system, it is a step in the right direction.
Anyway, the United Allies update also brought a lot of improvements. For one, when the server goes down for whatever reason, players who were in a raid will be returned to the main menu with their loot/gear and progress intact. Moreover, a new button was added to the exit menu that allows people to report abusive players.
