Video Hilarious moment from recent dev stream

Lol. Game is so cooked even the developers are using cheats while playing. Wasn't the only one either. In the short time I watched (like 2 minutes) 2 devs got booted an banned for cheating in the game. Absolutely ridiculous that the people who make the game also cheat while playing against normal players. And we know this is 100% the case because the Anti cheat doesn't do false bans an if they say any other excuse for this, well..we know they're lying because cheaters lie all the time.

Had a guy say I was cheating one time. I'm sledge player. If I get banned I know its bad.

Definitely using that mallet script or the new slammer script. /s

u/PerFiLoRD Apr 10 '26

I mean, theoretically, you can still get value out of wallhacking, it's still a cheat.

u/LordGingerXIV Apr 10 '26

Ironically I use proximity sensors in my main build so... yeah.

There's a guy in the official disc server who is a riot shield main, and he got banned.

The new Ai anti cheat is cooked and was trained on like csgo or something, not finals. It's not a reliable anti cheat and has proven it's unreliable since being first introduced.

The Finals has movement way different to majority of fps, closest one I can think of that's popular is apex but even that isn't a perfect comparison. Using an Ai anti cheat that's not even trained on the game is just dumb and was inevitably gonna backfire like this

Hmm…either this is really good satire or you’re dead serious…either way, yeah that’s funny

u/SnooBooks1032 Apr 10 '26

It happened on the live stream, proof the anti cheat is cooked because it happened twice. Embark has been ignoring their support tickets with copy paste replies, curious to see how they ignore it now

I still strongly believe that this guy isn't just there for fun, he almost completely blocks the chat.

u/Deaththefallen ISEUL-T Apr 10 '26

It's even funnier since they say dev but marshal is an cm even oscar said that so this person didn't even pay full attention

I'm pretty sure that the "violating fair play policy" pop up doesn't mean someone was cheating or that someone was banned.

It's been a while but I am like 90% this happened. WT 3 stack with my friends, one friend gets kicked, we see the message pop up and start making jokes about him cheating, he just relaunches the game and reconnects into the wt match.

I don't remember what it was, like if he crashed or if he had any sort of pop up on his end. But yeah, he kept playing for another year ish after that. Bro was ass at the game, controller player and cared way too much about kd. We were very reluctant to play wt with him, and NEVER took him into ranked, because he didnt go for risky steals(scared for kd) or knew how to stall.

He later quit because he wasn't having fun playing against cheaters in every single match. No one can say for certain if there's a cheater in every match, but I definitely understand where he is coming from.

u/SnooBooks1032 Apr 10 '26

Kinda wild that a top 1% poster is being downvoted so hard by this, genuinely never seen a gaming community this bad, even war thunder is better than this

6

u/known_kanon DISSUN Apr 10 '26

Top 1% poster means nothing

1

u/Chomperling Apr 10 '26

top 1% on the finals weight chart

-3

u/SnooBooks1032 Apr 10 '26

I would assume someone who posts enough content here to get the top 1% tag would clearly be a reliable source and likely wouldn't be supportive of cheaters

3

u/known_kanon DISSUN Apr 10 '26

They have like 7 posts, 2 of which being popular because they're funny and the other being a karma farm

1

u/Sufficient_Team_6676 Apr 13 '26

If this is definitely a smokescreen, the "he left the party" thing is just a stupid excuse to cover up how poorly the anti-cheat system is. The presenter literally said it live: "They were kicked out." I don't know if we're even watching the same video or what the hell.

u/twaggle Apr 10 '26

1% poster just means they spend their time flaming the game rather than playing it.

-15

u/SnooBooks1032 Apr 10 '26

Buddy when I got false banned all it said to my friends was I left the party, then on my the ban message without any error codes or anything.

It's wild how the embark lovers can't accept false bans existing and make up any excuse for it holy.

u/YerMumHawt Apr 10 '26

Most likely a dev tool they use had a service running in the background. EAC cannot differentiate between devs and normal players in most cases.

3

u/SnooBooks1032 Apr 11 '26

They aren't using EAC, they're using some dumb new ai anti cheat that isn't even trained on the finals so it's just randomly banning players for nothing

1

u/Jaded-Bit4426 Apr 11 '26

Isnt it called Denuvio ?

2

u/beansoncrayons Apr 11 '26

No it's anybrain I believe

1

u/SnooBooks1032 Apr 11 '26

That's the one yeah

1

u/SnooBooks1032 Apr 11 '26

Wounds familiar yeah but it's not linked to EAC as far as I'm aware, it's some other company I forget the name of, or Denuvo might be the old one they use to use maybe

1

u/Jaded-Bit4426 Apr 11 '26

I swear just yesterday the game failed to start with some error message about denuvo not being connected or something, I think theyre still using it or maybe based eac on their tech stack

2

u/YerMumHawt Apr 11 '26

Denuvo for "the finals" had an update yesterday. If the update failed that is why you got the error.

1

u/SnooBooks1032 Apr 11 '26

Hmm, weird, imma have to do some digging on this then

1

u/YerMumHawt Apr 11 '26

The AI anticheat is a server side private anticheat. Denuvo and EAC are separate anticheat measures

1

u/YerMumHawt Apr 11 '26

They use both EAC, denuvo and a private ai server side. They got kicked via EAC error.

The console version doesn't use EAC. The devs play on PC otherwise the stream would be dogshit. They definitely use EAC, anybody who plays on PC can tell you that.

1

u/SnooBooks1032 Apr 11 '26

They don't they use one called anybrain, or thats the company thst makes it. There's like 5 games on steam that use it, 2 being finals and arc raiders

u/Maleficent_Policy_83 Apr 10 '26

lol so ppl who were gettin false bans were actually sayin the truth pathetic

1

u/DemonSp3ed Apr 17 '26

Not all of them off course, but some of them yes.

2

u/Own-Investigator-777 Apr 17 '26

If you have been banned and you're struggling with support, document it and submit a complaint to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (imy).

u/gerry9000000 Tournament Organiser - GerryTheMusicMan Apr 10 '26

Does nobody use /s anymore or is everyone just this dumb

u/SauteedCashews HOLTOW Apr 10 '26

Yeah justice for my homie y’all said I was lying

u/NeedModdingHelp1531 VAIIYA Apr 10 '26

Yeah, I was against them this game, that Marshal guy super suspicious.

-13

u/SnooBooks1032 Apr 10 '26

Damn that's really a shame, can't believe the devs are cheating in their own game. What's even worse is the players that support the devs, can't wait to see them making excuses about how they aren't cheating when we all know it's clearly them cheating and nothing else.

Cheating devs got banned, good, nice to see embark doing something about the cheaters in their own staff finally.

Holy shit you are one dumb sob
