Respawn secretly investing more in anti-cheat software
It seems that Respawn has added a new anti-cheat software according to this infamous apex hacker and leaker (image below). The said anti-cheat is the Hyperion Anti-cheat software. The same anti-cheat that Epic added to Fortnite in July 7, 2022. Not sure how long this will last until cheat makers find an exploit but it’s nice to know they’re making steps to counter cheating. I’ve read that this will at least stop majoeity of the small time cheaters or those who are not well-verse into software engineering. Are there much less cheaters in Fortnite?
Grabbed this one from an article talking about what Hyperion does to counteract cheats in Fortnite.
“Some of the characteristic features of Hyperion anti-cheat software are listed below:
Thwart dynamic analysis attacks with our novel anti-virtual machine and anti-debugging features
Curb static analysis with full binary encryption at rest
Prevent tampering of your protected code
Block untrusted third-party applications
With the addition of this application, Epic Games has secured the in-game files. Gamers can expect the occurrence of cheating to reduce considerably from now on.”
edit: The leaker/hacker redacted his previous statement of Apex using Hyperion. Currently Apex is still using EAC as its anti cheat software.
edit 2: hyperion added back into the game.
I guess that’s a W for the pc playerbase.
