It should massively help with the cheating issues though!
Mediatonic as the developer of Fall Guys said that there were still weaknesses in the game system. Because, they can only find out that the player is using an illegal program at the end of the game.
For that, they are trying to update their detection system so that cheaters can exit right away even during the minigame. Meanwhile, Mediationic has turned off the Steam Family Share function, which is reportedly a hotbed for Fall Guys hackers.
Dealing with cheaters is a top priority for us

At the moment, when a cheater is detected, they are able to finish the current show before being blocked
We are going to start taking more immediate action soon
As mentioned before: It isn't necessary to manually report cheaters
The developer said that many of them used this function to avoid getting their main account banned. Mediationic said that players whose backup accounts were banned can still create new accounts to use illegal programs.
