addedWith the release of the Company of Heroes 2 Battle Servers late last year the development team has been working to increase the fairness of matches, particularly in our competitive Automatch mode. Recently we have added anti-cheat detection capabilities to our servers, that are able to detect when a player is using a third party application to alter the way that our game is meant to be played. This week we reset the ladder stats of fourteen players who have used this sort of program to alter our game in competitive play. Those players who we had contact emails for also received a warning email prior to the reset. Using any third party app or hack to alter how our game plays in our competitive multiplayer is something we consider cheating. It goes against the nature of competitive multiplayer. Players caught doing so in the future may be banned from further online play in Company of Heroes 2 . To be clear this is not to discourage modding the game. Though currently modding abilities are limited, we are happy to see players modding our custom game modes. Several players used these sorts of hacks to play games against the AI, and we took no action against them since if you want to cheat against the computer that's up to you.
