Re: About "Stealth Mode" in "RTSS"

@a12b449 Pretty sure it means that you can't use it and it is not allowed.

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?

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:

Go to Settings.

Go to the Gameplay tab.

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.
