Ironmace Games has said thatDark and Darkercheaters are “a serious priority” and that it will begin taking action.
In a recent post to the game’s community Discord channel, Ironmace confirmed that cheaters have been plaguing the fantasy multiplayer extraction game and that it’s become a serious problem. Developer “Graysun” shared that one of the team’s top priorities right now is combatting the hackers (viaPCGamesN).
“Right now, we are fighting a difficult fight against cheaters as we gather information with Ironshield to deal with this situation,” Graysun said.
“The fight against cheating is a serious priority for us, and to further support our community, we will offer a Discord account you can directly message with your evidence of cheating for the next 30 days.”
Ironmace is asking the community to also help the team in battling the hackers, saying that players with evidence of cheating should message an uploaded video link or screenshot directly to the Ironshield Support channel in the Discord, along with the hacker’s in-game name.
Dark and Darkerentered early accesson August 7 on an indie storefront called Chaf Games, through Ironmace’s own launcher called Blacksmith, after it was removed fromSteamfollowing a cease and desist order from Nexon.
Nexon alleged that Ironmace was using stolen code to makeDark and Darker, which led to the latter’s offices being searched by the authorities. It was previouslyreported by NMEthat an ex-Nexon employee now working for Ironmace Games had taken some code after they’d been fired from the company, but nothing was found by police.
