Are we going to keep pretending that PC and console players are the same?

What? Anticheat not being the same as anti piracy software? Shocking.



BattleEye specifically is an absolute garbage fire. I found that out when playing Ark.

Denuvo has been shown to reduce performance in pretty much every capcom title it is put in. Where as something that you say is somehow more intensive is implemented in every competitive shooter and online game without those same performance hits. When the analogy goes right over the person's head �. I guess the forums don't like emojis so ill just say Woooshhh as the text version of what the emoji was.

Battleye isn't going to catch everything but Rainbow Six uses it to at least some degree with some of the ban waves due to having it in their game. Also that game runs just fine with using BE. We understand that you want your cheats but next time use logic when you want to argue a point.

If your anti cheat doesn't have ring 0 access, I don't think it's gonna be of much help...

True, the more access the anticheat has the easier it would be to find and ban cheaters so thank you for making the case for using something like nProtect like Helldivers 2 does.

The "don't ask, don't tell" mod policy is bizarre. Either allow mods or don't. It would make everything simpler if Square would make a call on this and, if they decide to go the "no mods" route, then actually include some sort of anti-mod software if they want to equalize console and PC players. Arguably, even without mods, PC players will always have technological advantages over console players, though.

This is true, the fact that you can get a widescreen monitor will give you a slight advantage and there are a million other things that PC players would be able to do for a slight advantage. However there is a big **** difference between a widescreen monitor and AM/cactbot/1 key rotations/zoom mod/ any and all other plugins out there.

I never said anticheat was more of a performance hit than Denuvo. I said it tanks performance, which it does, especially on weaker machines. I just took issue with you comparing the two because it's apples to oranges. Anticheat works very differently from what people theorise Denuvo does, too. I also pointed out that anticheat software is invasive and you seem not to have any comebacks to that.

Battleye is a big part of the reason I refuse to play on official Ark servers. It crashes people's games, randomly kicks them, I've had it give me a BSoD, too.

I do find it funny that the moment someone disagrees with you, you accuse them of cheating. I have never installed a single plugin and I don't plan on it. This is largely an issue of principle and privacy for me. Would not wanting a cop looking over my shoulder automatically mean I must be doing something illegal? If you're going to get snarky, at least have something to say that isn't putting words in my mouth and accusing me of cheating.
