Cheat Engine

TieWolf · August 2023

I have heard through talk and through Nefas' video on this topic, but people are getting bold and I have been seeing it myself in Cyrodiil Grayhost.

Yesterday while approaching Nikel, I'd witnessed a group of 3 AD players fly hacking; they moved straight vertical from the postern door near up over the wall until I rounded the corner; once they saw me, they dropped back down and ran; it was too quick for me to try recording or grabbing a screenshot.

Again this morning there was a DC player on an inaccessible platform at the KC mill with one siege. The only way I could get to him was leaping (I was in werewolf thankfully) but due to such a strange spot I suspected cheat engine... so I grabbed a screenshot before leaping up there to kill him and destroy the siege.

Shortly after killing him, I got a whisper, "That cheat engine just got you banned"

Essentially admitting he was aware that location was not accessible. Glad I grabbed the screenshot before leaping up there bc I was in voice with a guild and very perplexed. But that confirmed it and this cheat engine issue needs to be addressed.

This thread is both to bring awareness, but also to cover my bum in more ways than one if this dude really did report me post killing him as I stood there really trying to figure it out, really trying to see if it could have been a cheat engine thing like suspected or if there were an organic means of getting there. Then I got the whisper... Hoping my report goes through properly; there is a special character in the person's username, so I wasn't able to spell it correctly either. Screenshots are all I've got.

Be careful out there... cover yourself if something looks suspicious with screenshots or quick ways to hit record. It could save the thousands of dollars we pour into our ESO accounts...

Can we get some confirmation that this cheat engine thing is being addressed?

If you are on PC there is an Addon called Bot Scanner 2000. It's a bit old but works properly. All you have to do is put your crosshairs on that player and it records all pertinent data including name and location.

I know it's not a Bot but this works well. Yeah, I must admit after watching the videos about C.E. it's back.

To clarify the small AD group; there were no other players or guards in that area of the keep. Getting a boost with comet or shooting star, no gap closer usage without a target. They (the AD group) were on the ground, and then they just casually went into the air lol

I'd taken the discussion about cheats like that with a grain of salt... but witnessing the group of AD really was a sight to validate it for me.

As for the platform; apparently with some crafty maneuvering you can get up onto the platform at the KC mill without a cheat engine.

Upon sharing the screenshots with other veterans in GH on EP alliance, I guess this particular player that had sent me the whispers has a reputation of whispering those things when they are mad they'd gotten killed lol so that set me at ease.

Still, I cannot explain the small group of AD that I'd seen even if the KC mill platform has an explanation.

I know Nefas had recently shown a video that Cheat Engine is still alive and, unfortunately, well in ESO. I have no doubt several people in pvp are using it to their advantage. People tend to use such slimy ways to get an upper hand on others in pvp settings and games, and ESO is also plagued by such people.

I also think there are some hacks that are being abused lately.

Some few years ago I stayed with console due to the fact that it's wouldn't be as prone to hacks and bots as PC(I know, I know). The bots came in strong but out of concern are consoles accessable to CE as well? I've seen some strange things on Xbox na but it may just be exploits. I know nothing about the new cheating processes (in my day a game genie was hacking) but the bots came in on Xbox(through old consoles or direct link to PC idk) so is CE (or something similar)also possible?(let's not have the thread shut down with a "how to', just a yes/no is it possible?)

I'm personally not sure, someone else may have more insight. Honestly I am the type of person that won't purposely speed while driving out of not wanting to break the law.

So my knowledge on exploits or cheating is purely what I have witnessed and nothing technological, but I wouldn't be shocked if cheating were still accessible to console if it is accessible overall to the ESO servers [period].
