So EA? Are you going to solve this? or is it a clear declaration that you abandon your community by keeping a version of the game that is broken?
A suggested course of action would be:
- Revert to previous version (remove the Secure Boot requirement)
- Implement a human-controlled anti-cheat system (moderators, observers... who would connect to a server randomly and ban the cheaters)
- Find some legal way to make cheaters pay money for harmful actions (this would absolutely make most triple think before cheating)
- Learn a lesson and optimize your future games so that everyone can run them without the need to change hardware configs and break their installs
Just a suggestion...
- Revert to previous version (remove the Secure Boot requirement)
With that they welcome cheaters back with open arms
- Implement a human-controlled anti-cheat system (moderators, observers... who would connect to a server randomly and ban the cheaters)
That will never happen because it is way too much demanding and needs a lot of manpower to be affective.
- Find some legal way to make cheaters pay money for harmful actions (this would absolutely make most triple think before cheating)
I can't think of way to find out who is actually behind some random account name who is cheating.. Unfortunately in-game name doesn't do much in court.
- Learn a lesson and optimize your future games so that everyone can run them without the need to change hardware configs and break their installs
There is nothing to learn from.. It is like cat and mouse and endless war. EA find solution to restrict cheaters. Then players all crying about it it because they demanded it themselves.. Not long from now and cheat developers have new trick in their sleeves and everything is back like it was before Secure Boot update.. Cheaters running freely until EA find solution again.. It will go on like this forever..
