SEASON 16 It's quite funny how EA improvements never work.

It's quite funny how every single season they say they have improved anti-cheat, smurfing issues etc. it's gettin worse... lvl 20 smurfs pretty much every ranked lobby plat at least. So many shady ha...

@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.

    @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.

      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.

      Aware that a couple users sitting at the top of the leaderboard are cheaters. They are already banned. They should be purged from their spots soon.

    @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.

        So EA had over 200 tester just for Apex Legends.... crazy considering every season going back to about season 9 on launch had nothing but issues, the average player was shocked wasn't noticed during testing....hence the famous line, "Do you guys even test your game before you drop a new season?"

        200 plus and season after season nothing but issues not caught prior to launch. Lol... at that point, I would have assumed none of them were doing there job properly and would have considered firing them all. But maybe this was just a money thing. EA did mention that Apex Legends was there #1 money maker and wasn't sitting where they would like it to be - and then, goodbye to mobile Apex, and goodbye to single player game and goodbye Baton Rouge. 

        Now with all that being said, am I the only one that thinks, "wait, what, over 200 hundred testers but only one guy banning players?" 

        What's wrong with that picture....
