Titanfall 2 Hack – Once again, Titanfall 2 is hacked

Once upon a time, telling you that Titanfall 2 has been hacked would have been met with raised eyebrows and silent uninstall of the game. Now, reactions are a wave of sighs and groans.

This isn’t the first time Respawn’s Titanfall 2 game has been hacked. In fact only a few months ago, Apex Legends was hacked by Titanfall fans in an effort to force Respawn to #savetitanfall.

Several members of the Titanfall 2 community incl. @DirectXeon are reporting that Titanfall 2 is currently massively compromised.

If you own Titanfall 2 on PC, *DO NOT* launch the game. Uninstall it for now until a fix is released. pic.twitter.com/lNZGbufOL1

It’s not limited to PC either, it’s believed all servers are now compromised and certain people are urging players to uninstall the game for the time being.

However, to the relief of others, Respawn have investigated and claim that the hack shouldn’t have any dangerous effect on its players.

An Update: We’re still investigating this issue but our engineers believe that we’re dealing with a simple exploit that can be used to crash games. 

We do not believe there are any more serious risks to affected players or their machines. 

We’ll update again as we learn more.

Although we, personally, would recommend uninstalling the game’s uninstalling for the time being, better to be safe than sorry. Not to mention, an hour or so of redownloading is far better than any leaked personal information.

 

 

Apex Legends Hack

With Titanfall 2’s hack, this does lead to many Apex players worried that the battle royale will be next or might already be compromised. Only a few months ago was Apex subject to a frustrating few days of unplayable content.

It does show how weak Respawn’s security is, especially considering how often it’s happened in the last year.
