Easy Anti-Cheat

• 1 month ago
• Updated

Gears 5 uses Easy Anti-Cheat, an industry leading cheat detection and prevention tool, to ensure a safe, fair and competitive environment for players across both platforms.

If you are experiencing issues with Easy Anti-Cheat, please follow these steps provided by Easy Anti-Cheat:

1. Verify connectivity to Easy Anti-Cheat
2. Update Windows
3. Update the game
4. Close all unnecessary programs
5. Manage your anti-virus

Verify connectivity to Easy Anti-Cheat
Ensure you can access the Easy Anti-Cheat Content Distribution Network by following these links.

• https://download.eac-cdn.com/
• https://download-alt.easyanticheat.net/

You should see the message: '200 - HTTP OK'

If neither of the links display the expected message, make sure that nothing is blocking your Internet connection. If necessary, add Easy Anti-Cheat and the game folder to your firewall exception list or temporarily disable your firewall. Sometimes connection
issues are caused by incorrect network router settings. For further assistance, contact your Internet Service Provider.

Update Windows
System files that the game relies on may be missing.

• Make sure all the latest updates for your operating system are installed.
• Install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables.
• Run the following command with Administrator rights to repair corrupted system files: sfc /scannow Follow this guide for instructions on running a
  command with administrative rights.

Update the game
Errors may also be caused by a corrupted EasyAntiCheat installation. Follow this guide to repair the Easy Anti-Cheat service.

Close all unnecessary programs
Some programs on your computer may interfere with the game you're playing or Easy Anti-Cheat. Close all other programs not related to Windows. A cold reboot may be required.

Manage your anti-virus
Performing a full-system scan is highly recommended. If you don't have an anti-virus or it has been out of date for a while, you can use the software listed in
Easy Anti-Cheat’s malware troubleshooting guide.

If the scan does not surface any issues, it may be that the error is related to anti-virus or similar software being corrupted and falsely blocking Easy Anti-Cheat.

Simply disabling it may not entirely stop the software from interfering with the game. Please uninstall any such software temporarily to verify that the game launches without it. If the game otherwise starts without issues, proceed to add its installation
folder to the exception list.

If the steps above did not assist, Easy Anti-Cheat strongly recommends performing a clean Windows installation. Alternatively, you can ask Easy Anti-Cheat for assistance by sending
a tech support ticket.

Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

I apologize but I do not have information about Xbox's specific actions in relation to Kronos and Strike Packs cheating. But don't worry, Xbox's anti-cheat systems detect and prevent cheating in their games. These systems may include software-based measures such as detecting game file modifications or hardware-based measures such as detecting unauthorized controllers or devices such as Strike Packs or Kronos.

They take action against individual players who are found to be cheating, such as banning their accounts or suspending their access to online gameplay, in addition to anti-cheat measures.

Some games, like PAYDAY or Halo Infinite, have their own anti-cheats, but these anti-cheats are more passive, and sometimes these anti-cheats can't even detect the mouse macro.

I think these anti-cheats only have a preventive effect and a small detection effect, bcz it does not require any privacy statement, and precisely bcz it lacks the necessary proactive detection to be detected by the anti-cheat team and take action on it when cheat, illegal practices etc. is found in the game, there will be many software cheaters who are good at pretending to be and even very daring hardware cheaters. (Be aware that some cheatware can serve its purpose by posing as a sys driver)

My response may not be very frequent, but I will try to reply when I see it.

That's where a separate anti cheat file is for me. Though I have my gears files there as well (but I can't open the anti cheat file listed within the gears program.)

BF3 elitest dont cheat. No need for any anti cheating anything for BF, eh?
