Fix for the Anti-Cheat uninstall issue

[jaqub.ajmal]

Hello!

As you may have heard we have two issues related to our anti-cheat, one which is that some files may remain after the game has been uninstalled and the other being that in rare cases the anti-cheat doesn’t exit when you close the game.

We have been working on fixing these issues as fast as we can and we now present 2 solutions for the uninstall issue.

Uninstall

For the anti-cheat uninstall issue we have now deployed a fix to Steam so that the anti-cheat services should be uninstalled when the game uninstalls.

I have already uninstalled the game, what can I do?

We have created a Windows script that will remove the anti-cheat services. Please see the following support article and follow the steps: https://support.sharkmob.com/hc/en-us/articles/4406977269521

We sincerely apologize for these issues, and we are also working hard on fixing the issue where the anti-cheat is sometimes still running even after the game has been closed.

Why should they remove it and what would be a better anti-cheat choice and why?

Almost every game is somewhat owned by tencent if thats a problem then just stop playing games or stick to indie products

This is totally unacceptable. This work around isn't working. I've had to leave my PC with someone to rectify this and it's cost me £30. Can you leave contact details so I can take this to the small claims court.

can someone just let me know when this is fixed

The Easy Anti-Cheat website offers a list of games that use EasyAntiCheat. These include Far Cry 5, Fortnite Battle Royale, Rust, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands, and Watch Dogs 2. If you’re not sure which game installed it on your PC, check the list.

Nearly every anti-cheat is pretty bad at detecting aimbotters. What sets games like Fortnite apart from others in banning people is they have active mods that view problematic people and ban them within minutes to hours of receiving multiple hacking reports.

That's what needs to be done here, so if you see cheaters (actual cheaters, not people that killed you because you're bad) report them to the developers.

Toxic xenophobes and racists just ADORE battle royales and flock to them like rabid seagulls when there's a new one. Bloodhunt's day one playerbase is such incredible high toxicity trash 🤌

Blatantly you're just racist because Tencent is Chinese. I wouldn't be surprised if you were American lol

Yes because the only reason one would have concerns about Tencent is because of racism of course.

Do you even read what you write? For you their anti-cheat system is not good because being from Tencent and at kernel level they "steal data" but "EAC is okay".

Exactly how can you tell which of the two steals more data? Only from the news? Come on, you are either racist or stupid.

(P.S: Just to update you, EAC is owned by Epic Games which I see from your profile, is another company you dislike, which among other things is acquired for 40% by Tencent)

and i hate them too, but if i have to choose i'd rather have 40% of tencent than 100%

reading what you wrote made my eyes melt, you clearly don't know what you're talking about

Does anyone know if this patch for sure worked? Has anyone tried to uninstall and see if it is actually gone?

[Naijik]

I would also like to know if it actually works, honestly that's the only thing stopping me from playing the game. I'm all about my privacy

worked for me just now

[eviltorn]

У меня после удаления не осталось никаких файлов и лишних утилит. ну или они хорошо спрятаны.
Но я пожалуй соглашусь, лучше подождать может разрабы сделают более привычный античит от проверенных источников.
