Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) will ban devices use by players to cheat in the popular battle royale game, as per Krafton. The change in policy will take effect from 24th December 2021, and Krafton will ban devices which are running software that helps gamers cheat.
Cheating in popular games like Battlegrounds Mobile India or PUBG: New State can negatively impact the experience of other gamers.
The device ban will be permanent, unlike the older policy of sanctioning the offending account, marking a change in how the game deals with cheaters.
Krafton share the details of the policy to ban offending devices in a post on the game’s website.
Krafton Said :
“If the use of illegal programs is detected with a mobile device by the newly applied security logic, the device will be permanently ban from using BGMI,”.
The game usually bans players’ accounts if they are using an unofficial or modified version of the game, or have illegal auxiliary programs which help them cheat.
Krafton has also been targeting cheating users, handing out permanent account bans.
It recently announce that 99,583 Battlegrounds Mobile India accounts were permanently ban for cheating in a six-day time frame.
While banning an account is effective, banning a device which could be base on either the device ID or on the IP address prevents cheating gamers from bypassing the ban and creating additional accounts on the same device.
Krafton has previously implement measures to rein services which allow gamers to cheat, including preventing the recently release PUBG: New State from running on devices with Developer options enable.
The Krafton says it will continue to work towards eradicating cheating, including the use of unauthorise software in the game.
