About "Stealth Mode" in "RTSS"

Ignore this question if you don't want your answer translated.

This is the question.

There seems to be a mode called "Stealth Mode" in the Riva tuner statistics server that is not detected by the anti-cheat system. Is it against the rules to use this feature?

I used to use this software with stealth mode enabled, so I'm curious.

NOTE: Game developers don't give a lot of information about what could cause bans as this would assist cheat developers. Using 3rd party software is always at own risk

    Hey @a12b449 


    Bans for using an overlay using MSI afterburner, Rivatuner statistics server, etc are rare so you should be fine.

    However, keep in mind that using any 3rd party software is at your own risk.


    If you really want to be safe:
    See FPS in-game using the in-game settings menu:

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Go to the Gameplay tab.
    3. Toggle Performance Display on.

    Always keep in mind that anti-cheats also analyze software you have installed and run on your PC. So having something like CheatEngine installed and simply passively running in the background during playing anti-cheat protected game (even if you don’t try to use it to cheat in this game) can be enough reason to get your account lost.

    no. ur question is directly related to Anticheat, whether it will perceive your action as a violation or not.

    This is the question.

    I had a question about the Riva tuner statistics server, so I sent it to EA's email support, and EA's email support replied, "The use of game play that enhances the software is prohibited."
    What was the EA Support representative trying to tell us?

    In other words, did EA's support person want to tell you that the use of software such as RTSS that displays FPS and CPU usage in real time on the game screen is prohibited?

    As a side note, RTSS has a feature called "Stealth Mode" that prevents false positives due to anti-cheat, and I was inquiring about it with EA Support.

    Was the EA support person trying to tell you that using such things is prohibited?
