Cheating on a beta where the anticheat demands safe boot and kernel-level access.
Thus proving that those things dont even prevent cheating, so why be an asshole about it EA
The best anticheat are dedicated community servers. Guess what doesn't exist in BF6.
That is just security through obscurity, and everyone knows that isn't security. All it takes is one dedicated script kiddie to ruin your community server for months.
The real method to deal with hackers is to find one physically and then persuade him kinetically to give up his sources.
In an era of virtualization I'd imagine the solution becomes just spinning up a new server that they haven't found yet and letting your regulars know where to find it.
Then the script kiddie would get the boot.
Perfect development cycle.
"We want you to test out game."
"NOT LIKE THAT!"
If they can't prevent cheating with kernel level access then there's no point excuse for accepting any game that wants kernel level access.
Was there ever a time where the anti-cheat advertised 100% rates? No. It turns out those same cheats are also kernel level, and in addition, a lot of cheats are through DMA, which takes time to address because you first need to discover what drivers the cheat developers are exploiting to even make said cheats, contact device manufactures to patch the holes and then ban the cheaters.
When you compare Valorant’s cheater rate to Counter-Strike’s, it’s very apparent which one works. It’s why Valorant is the most popular FPS in Asia too, and the most popular PC game even.
I vaguely recall reading about a game that was never cracked; then when they hit end-of-life, the servers shut down and nobody could play it anymore. Wish I could remember the game's name.
The point is that there's no reason a gaming company should ever demand kernel level access to your machine and that the morally correct response to such a request is one of extreme and overwhelming hostility to the point where they are actively afraid to make such a request again.
