The new shooter Dysterra entered Early Access on Steam on November 23, but just a few days later, the developers had to perform a rollback. Cheaters are to blame.
This is Dysterra: The new sci-fi shooter on Steam takes place in a distant future on Earth. The discovery of the incredible energy source Terrasite changed our world: Terrasite drove science and technology forward, but also sparked several wars and battles over the coveted resource.
In the survival game, you play as a survivor, gathering resources and food, building a shelter, and trying to survive in the harsh environment of the futuristic Earth.

Cheaters overrun Dysterra on Steam
That’s why there was a rollback: The shooter launched after multiple beta phases on November 23 on Steam and was immediately overrun by cheaters. The plague was apparently so devastating for the game and its economy that the developers decided to perform a server rollback.
Rollbacks are considered one of the most drastic measures, as they reset all progress to a specific date. Everyone is affected, including honest players, which is why developers rarely resort to rollbacks.
In a news post on Steam, the Dysterra devs apologized for the rollback and promised that they would minimize the damage caused by cheaters in the future.
What the developers also say: In a post in the community forums on Steam, the Dysterra devs also warned against collaborating with cheaters. Anyone who doesn’t use cheats themselves but knowingly plays with someone who does and benefits from it will also be punished.
The devs advise against living in a house with cheaters or sharing inventory with them. So if you play Dysterra, be mindful of what your teammates are doing. This could have unpleasant consequences for you as it is regarded as an unfair advantage.
