idea for anti cheat to be used by games like warzone

it is being intentionally crippled on linux. the game runs absolutely flawless on linux but as you say it is the anti cheat software, easy anti cheat software devs worked with valve to make it work perfectly fine in linux and using proton, other games that use easy anti cheat work fine.

the problem here is the devs only have to change one configuration file to make it work but they are not doing it for some reason. most likely to keep people hooked onto the windows platform.

so much for microsofts promise to make things work with linux.

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.

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.

https://easy.ac/en-us/support/game/issues/guide/ I may have found some solution, based on the stuff Easy Anti-Cheat, on their website, says to do: what is likely the most relevant and helpful part, besides keeping Windows fully updated, is their prompt to "repair" the program itself through the Anti-Cheat setup .exe file. https://easy.ac/en-us/support/game/guides/installer/

I have done not all, but many of the things it suggests, barring more extreme or specific ideas like a factory reset, yet have only played one match that successfully went through with no kicks.

I'll definitely need to play a lot more matches to make sure. the "kick" error is gone for good.

There's also a Support Ticket I have setup with Halo's website, and they mentioned to respond back if it's improved or not, considering the recent update a couple weeks ago, or it would be closed after 30 days.

There's one I can send to Easy Anti-Cheat themselves, though I haven't specifically tried that one yet, and plan to soon. https://easy.ac/en-us/support/game/contact/tech/

I'll let Halo and Easy Anti-Cheat know about this set of steps I've taken.

blame activision for not implementing anti cheat like all other crossplay games. console players have extreme aim assist on controllers by default.

i have stopped playing it all together as i play on pc and fed up with console players and there anti recoil controller exploits and rampant cheating.
