Unfortunately, you're right. What is happening in Elden Ring is sick.

Elden ring uses Easy anti cheat all you have to do is run a file to bypass getting caught using easy anti cheat. Easy anti cheat is literally 1 of the worst anti cheats ever anyone can bypass it.

My personal issue with the anticheat isnt that it has rootkit. But its that it takes up 20-30% of my cpu...

thats because its a completely unoptimized always on rootkit. i had the same with valorants vanguard. the moment i installed it, it used 6-10% of all my cpu cores at all times, until i uninstalled the game and the rootkit. since then i'll never install an always on rootkit. easy anti cheat is alright because it starts when the game starts and closes when you close the game so it doesn't affect your system at all apart from maybe when you are playing a game thats EAC protected. and thats a maybe as so far i've played dozens of EAC games and never had a single problem with performance !

Is that how you cope with facts that you don't agree with? be a good little consoomer and buy some microtransactions :)

The tinfoil must be welded to your 5head. But be a good boy and they'll bring you an extra jello cup in that padded room.

Aww man, at least get 3 responses in before going to the "i have nothing intelligent to say so ill try shame your profile" trap, it really shows you don't have two braincells to rub together, you could have done better if you attacked my grammar.

Learn to read my posts with understanding. BTW: "Easy anti cheat is literally 1 of the worst anti cheats ever. " - oh, really? Because you say so? Compare the number of productions based on EAC and those on nProtect. Compare yourself what kind of productions they are, and don't be surprised if you see that nProtect is the main P2W-type junk.

One thing I don't understand with the Elden Ring situation.

If it's so easy to bypass EAC by running a file, how come Apex isn't completely flooded with cheaters in every match I play?

Hope you don't forget to cry when your system gets breached.

The Phantasy Star Online community has dealt with nProtect Gamegaurd for 20+ years now.

There's a whole list of nProtect games on Steam where you can go to each of their boards and ask if they've "been breached" ( you have no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ idea how silly that sounds )
https://steamdb.info/tech/AntiCheat/nProtect_GameGuard/

Given that nProtect has been tried and tested for over 20 years AND Steam has a small library of nProtect games where you can search for these mythical breaches and you can't find any; your paranoia is extremely unfounded and has no apparent basis in reality.

tl;dr: it's been used for 20 years. Show us the breaches.

Kuzz not that many people play it and its reviews are terrible. Most of the cheaters are on CS2 and PUBG, Although they are everywhere really. But easy anti cheat and vac games they are the most prevalent.

It's almost always top 5 on Steamcharts, which doesn't even include people playing outside of Steam.

Saying that it's not played by a lot of people is just false.

Edit: Also Steamcharts doesn't include private profiles like mine.

Free to play games are always usually in the top 5. Doesn't mean everyone plays it, just means they downloaded it for free. I have over 300 friends that have it including myself i never see them play it it just sits in their library.

226,536 people are playing it JUST ON STEAM right now as I type this.

You shouldn't lie and make ♥♥♥♥ up when people can prove you wrong; you kill any credibility you could have ever had and get yourself blocked because no one will take you seriously.

And reminder: every can see your steam posts, even if you have a private profile.

And to the guy that asked about it being flooded with cheaters:
You should Google "Apex Legends" and "cheaters". You don't see the cheaters because you are not top tier where they all are.

You don't understand how Steamcharts works it seems.

It counts people that are currently in-game, not people who have the game in their library.

226,536 players in the whole world isn't a lot. Idk what you consider a lot but If you put all those players together That's not even a quarter of L.As whole city population playing around the whole world for a free to play game. CS2 has almost a Million players on RN and its 5am in the morning, That's almost 5 times the amount of Apex.

Why the ♥♥♥♥ would anyone use Steam charts to check current player counts when you can just go to the game's community hub?
https://steamcommunity.com/app/1172470
You're just adding unnecessary steps

The only time the number isn't on the hub is if it's below a few hundred current players.

Just go to https://steamcharts.com/

You can say the same thing for the most played game on Steam currently. For a game it's a lot of people.
