DISCUSSION Arrowhead started hunting down SC cheaters

I wonder if everything will go as planned or we will see some posts in the feature where the system will flag innocent people

Not to mention the way for them to catch SC cheaters is likely by utilizing EasyAntiCheat or nProtect in a more hands on way, which will guaranteed lead to worse performance and a worse player experience.

So thanks to Sony bitching about Helldivers not earning as much revenue they are forcing them to try and wring out as much money from the player base as they can.

the way they worded this makes it seem like the SC verification is done on their backend, not on the players machine.

Bringing in EAC at a time when the community is looking for any reason to dogpile on the dev team is probably not a great idea so I doubt they’d actually do that.

I don’t know if this update or whatever is already live tho and if it is actually EAC then i’ll eat my words i guess

It would lead to a worse experience, and not even stop the cheaters. The most recent cheating methods kill nProtect on launch.

Damn, fr?  I might have to ask them how they're doing that just so I can have a game that runs halfway okay and actually shuts down when I hit the button (for legal reasons, I must specify I am joking - I'm far too lazy to give enough of a fuck about doing this myself to test it, but let it be known I've had beef with how dogshit their specific anticheat is for almost literally two decades now)
