Stop cheating.

Just don't cheat

>look inside
>game infested with cheaters
So long as Russians and Chinese people exist, EAC is necessary

>>715114495
This. I've been playing SCUM recently and the official servers for that game are Chinese infested cheating hellhole.
The game doesn't have any protection as far I understand.
You HAVE to play on unofficial server with active admin/mods that keep it clean, and thankfully there are plenty of those.

>>715114164 (OP)
EAC sucks but it's like the least bad option.

>>715114164 (OP)
Gaming becoming too mainstream. YouTube grifters trying to make money off of everyone else ruined gaming. Censoring and getting banned for wrongthink. Nobody wants to speak in text/voice chat anymore because of these reasons.

Easy Anti-cheat... for whom?

>>715114495
Every single online PC game has cheaters, EAC literally does nothing. Battlefield, COD, battle royale games, you name it, every single lobby has at least one guy using wallhacks because it's basically undetectable as long as they're not tracking players though walls, pre-aiming and prefiring every single engagement.

Most cheaters hide their cheats well (ESP/walls, radar) and very few cheaters rage hack with aimbot.

Anti-cheat just creeps me out

It's literally malware

Like yeah you're supposed to trust the game publisher/developer, but you're still actually installing and running malware

>>715114779
They literally use AI hardware devices or PCI-e cards hooked up to a separate computer now

Has Crowdstrike taught you fools NOTHING?
Kernel level anti-cheats will be the downfall of your very anonymity. They will be used as proof that the majority of the internet is okay with digital ID mandates.

You sell out your property rights for trinkets and fleeting rewards.

>>715115008
EAC means it’s one guy cheating mostly subtlety in every match instead of 10 cheating like they want to crash the game. It absolutely helps and you can play any game without it to see how.

Yup just DMA (Direct Memory Access) PCI-e cards that read out game memory and process it on a seperate laptop then feed back info. They use some vuln official driver which has a legit signature so they never get caught.

DBD has EAC and yet there are still cheaters

>>715114164 (OP)
>game has easy (to bypass) anti-cheat

>>715114495
EAC doesn't even detect popular paid cheats, let alone private cheats.
>>715115450
This is why I play online games on consoles.
>inb4 chronus zen
It's definitely an issue and Microsoft and Sony should do something about these devices, but I'll take no recoil cheaters over actual wallhacks and aimbot any day.

>>715114164 (OP)
they are so based for not being kernel level

>>715115461
EAC only detects free cheats which is admittedly how most cheaters get caught, but a lot of people use paid cheats and the vast majority of those are undetectable and if they do get detected, they get updated almost instantly.

>>715114164 (OP)
It is. I didn't play Wild Assault because of this garbage.
Coronel-based anticheat are a privacy violation and a threat to the pc, proven with the recent shitstorm caused by Activion's old COD anticheat garbage. These programs that mess with the caramel shouldn't be allowed on any videogame.
Also, Linux is a nocturnal.

Faggot.

>>715115329
Nobody will grasp this concept. Is EAC foolproof? No. Does it help? Absofuckinglutely.

>>715115685
>It's definitely an issue and Microsoft and Sony should do something about these devices
No fuck you. Microsoft closing systems they're trying already with TPM chips being mandatory. It won't solve cheating because as long as you have access to the device you will never be able to stop it. You're giving up control of your device for obscurity and thinking there's no cheaters. They'll just push through other bullshit like even more restrictive DRM, not being able to install Linux at all maybe in the future. https://www.techpowerup.com/319797/hdmi-forum-rejects-amds-hdmi-2-1-open-source-driver-proposal-no-4k-120-hz-or-5k-240-hz-on-linux Cable makers already try to preven you, if it becomes a closed system that'll be death of computers in general.

>>715115685
>It's definitely an issue and Microsoft and Sony should do something about these devices
or you could stop paying the retard tax and playing online slop

>>715115685
Until they let me use whatever controller I want and rebind keys as I see fit just like with steaminput I’m going to use a zen and not feel a whit of remorse.

Dobson?

battleye and PUBG best

no, not almost everyone is cheating in that game. it has the least amount of cheaters. a lot of people think pwople are cheating because replays and deathcams have been broken since day 1 and don't show recoil. some of them know this and will continue to double down while refusing to get better or change their style of play to live longer
>simply to live longer
these same people can't grasp the importance of this concept in PUBG, so these players are also low IQ

anti cheats are necessary to stop the bottom of the barrel from ruining games.

i would genuinely pay for a company that would install a spying camera looking at my pc setup so i could only play with others with the same setup

No, it isn't.

>>715119226
I keep having to this shit for a lot of games I play SP instead of MP nowadays, like Xenoverse 2 or any time I feel like revisiting SAO Fatal Bullet. That, and disabling EAC is the only way to play mods on them, and mods are the only things that make these games fucking interesting anymore.

>i would gladly allow companies to violate my basic human rights in order to play le videogame better!
you are fucking deranged, kill yourself.

>>715114164 (OP)
I wasn't really against this anti-cheat until I played a game not too long ago that required it. This thing actually messed up my boot up and shut down times on my PC. Immediately after I uninstalled the game and made sure there were no more traces left of Easy Anti-Cheat both my boot up and shut down times went back to normal.

So yeah, I'm staying away from this shit from now on. I do hope they find a better way to get rid of all the pathetic cheaters though, but I don't like it if things like this affects the performance of my PC.
