As long as they don’t touch BF1 and earlier I’m still fine.
Still think server side anti cheat is the ONLY way to combat cheaters at this point. All client side efforts (even kernel level) have been bypassed and hardware cheating devices running outside of the computer are becoming VERY common.
Kernel level AC has got to go, any sort of invasive AC does.
That we totally agree on.
Just saying security/privacy issues aside these types of anti cheat don’t actually help as much as some people hope in combatting cheaters.
Yup. But its the latest ‘buzzword’ in anti-cheat, so we keep getting more of them instead of time being spent developing other potential solutions.
With cheaters now using DMA to read memory locations on secondary computers, what’s your suggested solution? A great many people can go “this bad, don’t do this”…
Great. Fine. Don’t do this – then suggest something we do instead.
What do you think, considering I was replying to a comment with a proposed solution?
That’s what I’m asking you.
Why are you asking some rando in a gaming forum? You don’t need to be a security expert to know that you don’t want any random app having kernel level access to your devices just to play a game. It doesn’t take a security expert to know that. The purpose of pointing it out isn’t that we know what the best solution is, it’s to tell studios that this solution isn’t the holy grail they act like it is.
They are just looking for an argument/confrontation. It’s why I didn’t respond further.
I don’t think they care, they just want to siphon your data freely given.
That’s so cool. I love that.Thanks EA ☺️ This will definitely make the game not a boring mess. You should do same with all your games. Even Sims 4. Cripple Linux compatibility and kill my performance so that we can stop those evil pirates.
/s in case it’s not obvious
just makes me want to cheat, on a goody2shoes windows machine. just to prove them wrong.
If my windows PC doesn’t allow me root access, why is it then allowing EA root access?
EA exec: I haven’t shot us in the foot much lately, I think it’s time we did some more of that.
