changing to battleeye

[LtCOL.Ghost]

this will be interesting, especially any that have a battleeye ban on record already.

i vaguely remember it has hardware id ban lol, would that get u banned from another game?

Hmm... battleye has a history of not getting along with my antivirus.
We'll have to see if that's been resolved in the years since I last played a game using battleye.
Still, better than EAC at the anticheat part of its function. We'll see a sharp decline in people cheating for a while until the people programming the cheats work out how to get around it.

yea it probably won't completely stop cheats though, specifically those peeps that run cheats on drivers with real hardware

Hopefully this is an improvement over whats been happening to me within the last week...the other anti cheat (easy anti cheat) is failing me from launching the game after every update forcing me to research and delete the easy anticheat.sys per research results so I can play. It isn't my anti virus because I enabled and disabled that in attempts to rectify. Just followed the advice of others that has been having this problem for many years per the discussion history. How coincidental that this new "feature " popped up. Dont cheat and F cheaters.

EAC is infamous for breaking its own files when it updates, though battleye at least used to be too.

oh nothing will completely stop cheaters, it's mostly about minimizing the harm they can do to the game.

nothing completely stops cheats, its a losing fight and the cheat developers have the initiative, anti cheats can do their best to anticipate but in the end they are reactionary often only able to fix exploits after they are already in the wild and being used

and the unfortunate fact is the more 'successful' anti cheats often have a bigger target painted on them with more incentive for cheat developers to find ways around them if they are being used by more games

[MrBucket]

I heard Gaijin half-assed their implementation of EAC, I ain't too optimistic about BattleEye

anticheat software is whats called ring 0 malware. the way it sees if your cheating is that it hijacks your hardware and gains 100% control over your operating system and computer so it can see and control everything.
thats just what anticheats are, so it makes sense that your antivirus dosnt like it.

I believe that the compatibility issues with Windows 11 that have been unresolved for months have contributed to this decision.

this will make a lot of sense and i also came to the same conclusion.

keybinds and macros are not a problem.

PLEASE ENABLE LINUX CHECKBOX, THAKS!

It worked great for Tarkov, hardly seen any cheaters....

It doesn't matter if we switch to battleeye (ignoring the performance increase and more stable fps) as long as EAC is an option for WT launcher cheaters will use EAC. Gaijin has to remove EAC completely for the switch to battleeye to mean anything.

edit:

As long as EAC is in game files it will act as a backdoor for cheaters.
