Cheating has ruined online gaming, and if I wasn't the typical PC Gaming Geek, I would of left Apex long ago, but I do occassionally have some good games. Won one the other day, 6 kills as KL.
But yes, cheating is a major mess, and I personally think, we will need a cloud service we play games through in the future, so that you can't add any cheats into your OS the way they work now on PC.
It seems like, as long as you can install a game on a PC, then you can easily install cheats on the OS and this war like this will never end.
Or PC gaming is going to need to come to an evolution of Tech, that if you have a cheat app on your OS, the game won't start with it, and this will have to be pretty flawless, so the coders can't code around it.
already have this technology (hardware ban)

@MindTrick85Fortnite also uses EAC, if you are talking about at a Software Level of dection.
It's my understanding there is also Server Side Detection too, along with the Reports someone submits, when someone submits a report they are looked at manually by someone to verify.
There is also Conor Ford that handles cheating too.
So the Cheating system isn't just EAC, it's several areas that I mentioned.
I really don't know if we can all honestly say they don't care, it's just not easy to deal with. I see people banned all the time in this game.- MindTrick853 years agoRising Hotshot@stillkoy this is very true...
- Midnight97463 years agoHero+@d3bugIT I feel like part of why EAC isn't working as well for Apex is because Epic Games owns EAC, so why would they let a BR competitor become "better" then Fortnite?
I did play Fortnite again last year, (not as much since a lot has changed), but about 1/5 games, there seemed to be a cheater, but never the same cheater each time there was one in the match. In Apex, it feels like almost every game has a cheater, and more so cheater(s) that are a full squaded up together, and you'll often see the same cheater(s) in multiple matches across days, weeks, and sometimes even months still playing.
In all honesty, Apex just needs a better anti-cheat and it might as well be a kernal level anti-cheat as Valorant doesn't seem to get a whole lot of cheaters. I'm not fully sure as I've only played about 4 matches and decided it wasn't the game for me.- 3 years ago
yeah honestly i wouldn't care about some kernel anti cheat like vanguard that valorant has. I'm willing to sacrifice my privacy if it means less cheaters. Who cares about whatever possible malicious things a kernel anticheat would give them access too i doubt they would abuse your system intentionally anyways.

@stillkoy
And where is info to back this statement up?
I've personally read that Conor Ford is in a position of authority overseeing cheating in Apex for the entire game/system/everyone...Regardless of who owns EAC doesn't matter, it's not all that great to begin with, and do you honestly believe a company would actually use a product given to them as less inferior as you stated? That would be absurd on a business level to actually do this sort of thing.
Cheating does impact the gaming industry and it greatly affects businesses in a negative way.
