Genshin Impact developer miHoYohas responded to an in-game hacking situation that has caused problems recently in its player community, warning that they would take legal action against those responsible.
Genshin Impact is a massively popular anime-style open-world exploration game available for Android, iOS, PS4, and Windows with over 60 million active players.
Starting late last week, many Genshin Impact players, known as Travelers, reported having been impacted by so-called 'Kaveh hacks' that severely impacted their ability to progress in the game.
The hacks were conducted through an unofficial plug-in that enabled the Kaveh game character to delete items vital for achieving progress in co-op mode, such as puzzles or NPCs the player needs to interact with.
This situation severely impacted the gameplay experience of many players, essentially bricking their playthrough and causing significant concerns in Genshin Impact's massive community.
Genshin Impact players who have been impacted by the 'Kaveh Hacks' are urged to contact customer support and submit a report to help fix all violations that undermine in-game fair play.
