Easy-Anti-Cheat is great !

[-Hiba-]

Heeey you clicked.

Here's what they say on their website : "Easy Anti-Cheat is the industry-leading anti–cheat service, countering hacking and cheating in multiplayer PC games through the use of hybrid anti–cheat mechanisms."

What developpers think : We ban cheaters in wave this way they have no idea how they got found so it's harder for them to come back.

What actually happens : You take a big cheese with holes (the game), you let both hackers and players in for like 1 month, you close the hole after every legit player got "glorified" during this month by the rotting presence of cheaters and call it "countering cheats".
After a short time (either 1 day or 1 week) after the banwave, hackers enter from another hole that you will wait for 1 month to patch up. So legit players will get yet again "glorified" from this hole for this duration.

The thing is, if the game has very few ways to be "modded", then that's a good strategy and it's only a matter of time before players can no longer hack. But if the whole thing (no worries, I know nobody will admit it) is a strainer or an emmentaler, maybe we should rethink the process and try to patch things up faster so more holes can be discovered and patched faster. So what is it ? Communicate !

So here's the question : How many holes does this cheese have ? Because legit players only have a certain amount of them that can be filled before being full of this nonsense.

What do you guys think ?

NB : No, I don't think easy-anti-cheat is great btw. Their way of selling the thing reminds me of those "quantum-tachyon coachs who say animals talk about philosophy" and ♥♥♥♥♥.

There are so many threads on this forum about current KBM cheats, hacks, EAC and longetivity issues it's a wonder people are still playing. For what sake? Because it's free to play or cheating is sort of allowed or grinding battle pass? Don't buy it before the dev's patch this cheese up.

The fact that this cheating industry has been allowed to flourish to the point it has culminated into them manufacturing hardware devices, says it all really.

I think you're right, why would any right-minded honest gamer play any FPS title, given that absolute ♥♥♥♥ show it has now become.

This didn't happen overnight, decades in the making, and we have game companies PR spew to thank for it.

Instead of deterring, they have encouraged, 100% no doubt in my mind

Yup, competitive FPS's have become just about unplayable due to the cheating problem with Publishers and Developers not bothering to even administrate their games, because then they'd have to pay people to actually find and ban cheaters. Counter-Strike community servers worked thanks to being constantly administrated, easy enough to ghost the cheater and then ban them when you notice the cheats. Riot at least tried to come up with hardware bans to try to get rid of their cheaters but every game only using "Easy Anti-cheat" have basically phoned in their anti-cheat, they basically don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about actually stopping cheaters.

All of the above. Indeed.

I only play this game to grind the battle pass and when friends are online. That's it. I would play a lot more if it weren't for those cheaters.

Just had like 4 games, one cheater in atleast 3 of them . . .
