"EA Anti-cheat has detected an unacceptable configuration, Please ensure no cheat-related or tempering software is active and restart game (117)"Are you kidding me !There are players with 98% headshot ratio that go untouched and i get THIS !!!!!!I have VGN V hub / Process Lasso / Discord / Fan Control THATS ITCan someone tell me which of these programs is CHEATING !!!!!!Beyond useless

@Ai-FluffySome have said cleaning their system fixed this issue others it didn't work. You can try a clean boot and see if it's a background program and enable them one at a time to find which one is interfering.https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd

Cheers
Have switched off VGN V Hub and either it is a huge coincidence or it was that. Can't think why, all it does is control DPI/lift off distance etc

Anything that can hook into the game is suspect. Glad you found a solution.

@Ai-Fluffy Happened to me last week, its annoying AF.

Had a player on BT last night go 7 games in a row 80+ kills with 0 or 1 deaths.

The EA anti cheat is basically toilet paper atm

The game chat was wild

@Ai-Fluffy I just now ran into this myself. It is ridiculous that players who are not cheating are being falsely detected when clearly cheating players still persist. I only run Chrome, OBS and Discord.

Hi
Ok we have now been with this new system since v 6.0 / redacted map if memory serves me well. After redacted we saw playerbase go way up compared to before.
Before 6.0 it was seldom that I thought something strange going on. Now 5 out of 10 games on redacted - there are people that 100 % can see through smoke from all ranges. I know soo many things spots you - all the Recon speciallists, spot nades, sentry guns and even Paik when you shoot and hit someone they are spotted.
The other day someone got me with 880 shotgun - one shot kill / full health from a range that you cannot do now after latest patch. Cannot remember if it was 04 or 01 buckshots. But it was clear through out game that person knew - more than others. Was a close to 100 vs 10 deaths on the map.
If player base is up because cheaters now has a free pass - then I'd rather have player base low again and true legit players only.
I agree - EA new AI anti cheat is not ok - and the easy anti cheat was way better - at least how I remember this.
But perhaps it was too expensive for EA / dice to keep paying for this or as they say they could not be in same control as having this in-house.
I only see this problem most of the time on Redacted map - normal maps seem more legit and normal .
Redacted is not like BF5 64 player metro map - but we def. have cheaters on a lot of the maps. And yes I report them when I'm sure that something is not wrong.
EA / Dice - time to make a ban sweep !

@Col_Larsen cheaters-in-game are frustrating to all of us, needless to say. But facing the elephant in the room head on: what can DICE possibly do to identify—without false positives—a cheater...?...

Easy Anti-Cheat is free to use. I don't understand why DICE switched to an inferior anti-cheat.

@TheseusJasonas a start - they can scan the client files and the memory - just like punkbuster did back in the days. This AI look at stats kind of way (me guessing here) like fairfight BS in BF5 and 1 is of no use. I know that those can also be countered but requires more from the cheat coder and then not all will just have it - most likely they then will require some payment.
Scan of files or perhaps have some kind of code encryption along with some certificate mechanism - you can protect your code with certificates / high encryption if you really want to !
