Overclocking blocked by anticheat.

I've used a controller for ages, can't get used to mouse and keyboard no matter how hard I've tried; so after purchasing my computer, I started overclocking my controller to reduce the latency because I got absolutely melted by m/k players. A pro competitive COD player named Shottzy, who learned it from Scump, made a video about how to overclock your controller. These people are getting paid $$$ in tournaments with known overclocked controllers. And you're telling me, using an overclocked controller on 2042 is now considered cheating, and won't let me play the game if DS4 is running in the background? I know others who simply use it to remap their buttons. So please tell me this isn't an implementation going forward.

    @XxLatvianGypsyxX Scripts (that is what ds4windows do/make) are not allowed in games !
    Thats a form of taking advances/cheats against the normal MnK players !
    This can be verified in the TOS of the game aka anti cheat !

    If ya want to play BF2042 DS4windows should not run (check services also cause even if ds4windows isnt booted there are still sevices running for it).

    My personal opnion , im glad they started those advanced software/scripts to block by Anti Cheat.
    I am not using any software and are a normal MnK player , fairplay is the KEY !

    Cheers and Game On!

    If you've played on controller, you know the input lag is bad. It's not cheating but reduces input lag, which mouse and keyboard has 0. It simply reduces the lag -- not removes. 

    You're fine with them removing it because it doesn't affect you, and if you've tried controller, you'd know it's an issue. It feels like everything is delayed and you're running with weights around your ankles.

    @XxLatvianGypsyxX I do not see any other complains about ibnput lagg with their controllers.
    Use a cable or a other controller.
    Maybe ya need to check youre system what is causing this input lagg ?

    Probarly to much background apps that manage youre controller functions 🙂

    Cheers
