Re: EA Anticheat and Battlefield 2042
from a post of mine on the BFV forums...
"A quick scan of EA patents (source: https://companyprofiles.justia.com/company/electronic-arts) reveal the following:
Secure anti-cheat system
Granted Oct 1, 2019
An anti-cheat system may be accessed over a network and stored directly into volatile memory of a user computing system. In some embodiments, this anti-cheat system may scan, or access portions of, the volatile memory of the user computing system to detect whether cheat software or other unauthorized software that may interact with a game application is detected on the user computing system. The accessed portions of the volatile memory may be compared with one or more signatures that are associated with the execution of cheat software on a computing system. The anti-cheat system may be prevented from being stored within non-volatile memory, thereby preventing malicious users from modifying the anti-cheat system.
I’m hoping that the lack of feedback from EA is that they plan to release a new AC soon-ish.
Other patents of interest:
-Game Quality-centric matchmaking for online gaming (self explanatory)
-Incentivizing users to alter virtual item balances in an online game (dynamic assignments?)
-Machine-learning based anomaly detection for heterogenous data sources (self-healing games?)
-Systems and methods for generating a compilation reel in game video (like memories on Facebook)
-Multiplayer video game matchmaking system and methods (self explanatory)"
Seems like EA have been actively developing this patent. Interested to see have they are going on the other patents mentioned!
