The developers of Palworld, Pocketpair has announced a robust plan to safeguard the integrity of their game. Understanding the gravity of the dire situation, the developers have outlined a two-fold strategy aimed at curbing these unwelcome activities.
One of their efforts is the introduction of a new player list function, set to roll out in an update by the end of February. This feature is designed to enhance the development team’s ability to identify and suspend players engaging in cheating, demonstrating a proactive approach to maintaining a fair gaming environment.
Further fortifying their defense against dishonest play, Palworld plans to integrate an external anti-cheat solution. This tool will specifically target the most frequent cheating behaviors, marking a significant step in the developers’ commitment to combat fraud. It’s important to note, however, that the use of this anti-cheat function will be optional in community servers, single-player, and co-op modes, allowing players freedom in how they choose to enjoy the game.
<Regarding official server access issues and future countermeasures against cheating>
Currently, some users are unable to connect to official servers due to cheating and the influence of fraudulent activities. We have confirmed that some players are unable to play the game properly.
As a company, we do not tolerate any fraudulent activity or cheating, and we are working on measures to deal with it strictly and as a priority.
First of all, we plan to release a player list function for servers in an update at the end of February. Through this, we will strengthen the identification of players who engage in cheating and the suspension of their use by the development team.
Following this, we plan to introduce an external anti-cheat solution to take measures against particularly frequent fraudulent activities and cheating.
*Please note: In the case of community servers, single player, and co-op, the use of this function is optional.In addition to the above measures, we will continue to take thorough measures against further cheating and fraudulent activities.
Although the development team is dealing with each issue on a daily basis and taking measures, there are many cases where we are not able to keep up, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Our entire team is working hard to get everyone back to a state where they can enjoy the game comfortably and with peace of mind as soon as possible.
Thank you for your continued support.
