Reporting stream snipers?

NA234 · Jun 27, 2023

Is there some sort of way to report stream snipers? Unfortunately, the only proof I would be able to provide Xbox with are my side of the recordings and comments that match the player's name on Discord. The same players have done the same thing before and wished me death threats on Discord. This harassment has been on and off (unprovoked) for a couple of years now. I understand if Xbox is hesitant to take action based on the same name from another platform and not necessarily Xbox Live, but these trolls will most likely gloat and comment about stream sniping me. The comments from the main stream sniper are from their username which is exactly the same on Xbox Live as it is on Discord.

Most of the time they have four to five players in their squad doing the same thing in a multiplayer mode. They target other streamers too, so it's not just me. I don't have a problem with people having squads, but rather the cheating. I'm not aware of any threats against other players, but I do know that they have previously wished it on me.

The same trolls will also use invincibility hacks and exploits in the game.

Support for the game's online content no longer exists.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Na234, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you, ready to assist with this.

I understand the frustration you feel when someone is stream snipping you.
At the moment, the best way to report such behavior is by using the in-game tools available to report other players, and use the Xbox report feature:

I would like to let you know that no one at Microsoft besides the enforcement team and outside the report system can issue a player suspension.

Hello There,

Sorry for the issue with your account and such. You will continue to have to get with Epic games for the account two step verification. We will be locking this thread as it is a developer issue and not Xbox issue. For the stream Sniping you can go to twitch
for tips and help there.

Thanks,

Brad

Hello, about your epic account there's nothing microsoft can do.

Be aware streaming come with risks of people watching your stream when playing vs you. That is not something MS or Epic Games can fix. As for the Audio stuff that is most likely part of the PS4/Xbox cross play being very new. You would need to report that
to epic games as a bug report. As for the Two step again that is Epic games you need to report to. Lastly if you think someone is hacking you have an option to report when they kill you.

From the sound of it, you need to contact Epic over the two step issues. The same for audio chat as well, as you are talking in game, not through party chat. As for the hackers, I suggest you report these as soon as possible either in game (if you can)
or through the console reporting feature, so the proper teams can investigate.
