But don’t just trust our word on this. We’ve also worked with independent, 3rd party security and privacy assessors to validate EA anticheat does not degrade the security posture of your PC and to ensure strict data privacy boundaries.
Uhm this is just their word that they worked with independent 3rd party security and privacy assessors. They should name those so that one can verify their word.
And even if everything they say is true, just because no vulnerabilities were found doesn’t mean there aren’t any. Or that there won’t be any in the future. Or that EA won’t be using it for bullshit.
This is like having a random dude living in your walls, peeping at you through your vents. And when you call the police they say, “no need to worry, we have confirmed that there is indeed a random dude living in your walls”.
I belive its secure because until now noone found an exploit in multiplayer games with anti-cheats yet and used it to install cheats during the finals of an E-Sports tornament or something.
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.
Server side AC works well enough but as league demonstrates, it’s not a silver bullet.
League has a much bigger problem with smurfs and toxic behaviour than it does cheaters to be fair. Adding kernel anticheat to it is strange. There’s lots of account buying, sharing, win trading etc that is more prevalent and something vanguard cant fix, but Riot have never been good at focusing their efforts.
League itself isn’t either.
I don’t know how it is now, but when I played league in the beta and for 4 years afterwards, I only ever saw 1 cheater.
Player toxicity was off the damn charts, but still not much of a cheating problem. Might be very different now though.
I don’t think they care, they just want to siphon your data freely given.
glad im not playing anymore at battlefield since the 3. And didnt crack on the sold on steam for 2042.
2142 and 2 will always be in the heart though,
I don’t think I can ever get enjoyment out of a battlefield game again after 3, I don’t know if the times were different or the game itself was just that fun to play, I did get the new one in hopes of having that feeling again but it doesn’t feel like battlefield anymore.
We just knew before the “bad company’s title” and even one on cartoon style (heroes ?🤔). So the 3 was so welcome in a way.
Destruction of buildings but not all the structures sometimes. Metro !! Same spirit of the 2 (speaking about infantry maps, dont remember the vehicles) but with the new “tech”.
Mechanics were not too different as before. But no glitching anymore. Special mention of the crouch and up indefinitely on 2142.😂😂.
There’s still plenty of BF3 servers popping. Unfortunately not a lot of rush. Rush made that game, but for some reason people want to play conquest on it instead…
Well Maybe its time to go play vehicles in it 😅
I played V a lot, great game tbh.
Like the 3 ? Same spirit ?
I ask for real XD. Do they have battlepass, seasons, meta weapons and this kind of Sh*** ?
That’s simple curiosity of course, now I’ve seen this news, inreallt can’t crack anymore 😂😂😅
Heck no am I installing EA’s proprietary rootkit! There’re literally viruses that have less power than that
EA exec: I haven’t shot us in the foot much lately, I think it’s time we did some more of that.

Well, I bought the game so i own it (IP shills can shut it). If it stops working on my linux machine, I will pirate it. And I will start distributing it to others who bought it but cant play it. Which is probably even legal where I live due to consumer protection laws.
I would be fine just playing Bad Company 2 on community servers if that is an option. Haven’t bought a Battlefield game since. I don’t see that trend changing any time soon.
