anti cheat idea?
only the seller of the computer can install the game and that game is linked to that computer and that oem. so only oem can install the game on the computer and if you don't have a oem install it yo...

@B0n3SawMcSizzla if i was going to go and add this to the do it yourself where people build their own pc they would first have a motherboard. it has a chip that installs the hw id that when wrote something happens to the board and activates a stamp that burns the board so it can't be rewrote. only read.
that is the main ingredient. then when the pc is finished built and runs windows it logs into the oem which writes to the hw chip and prevents it from being rewritten. then installs the game on the pc.
and the parts like videocard can have a array of similar write blocks that also melt and can only be read so the hw id is written to these parts and these are all read by the oem before the oem installs the game.
then when the videocard runs out of block to write too it can't install any new motherboard id and needs to be replaced but nobody replaced their motherboard every year and videocards last 5 years or so.

They could do something like that if it was for all games in general. It would become an IEEE standard. They wouldn't just do it for Apex. You also have to understand that OEMs especially will knit pick HW changes to MBs that are in the nickel and dime range.
Still, there are a lot of Anti-Cheat false positives and at least they are "generous" now to hold back on actual HWID bans most of the time.
@B0n3SawMcSizzlai bet if they had a trial where the hacker has to shoot targets, and these targets are random sparkles the game puts on stuff in the environment. then if the hacker can't shoot them hes still a good shot in the game it might be he has no skill. and hes cheating to have good aim in the game.
but if hes cheating and then blink 20 things on screen and see if he hits 20 targets in one second.
then if he hits targets normally hes not a cheater. this is a good anti cheat and is something everybody does before they play for 1 or 2 minutes every day. then we see if this test matches up with their in game performance. to test if theyre a hacker or not.if they cheat but miss on purpose then if they usually hit a high percent of their first shots but then the percentage starts to go down this is a sign of their cheat sw settings being set to miss after a while.
@gg123xyzhere's some free code to do a anticheat check:
if(
(motherboard has # of HW id slots left == oem record of user motherboard has # of HW id slots left)
AND
(videocard has # of HW id slots left == oem record of user videocard has # of HW id slots left)
AND
(motherboard HW ID == videocard HW ID == oem HW ID)AND
(can still write to HW ID slot after its been written equals false)
)
