The anti cheat update to gw2 pc has been a complete waste of time. This anti cheat bascially runs the game much worse now and removes compability for mutliuple platofrms. The only thing anti cheat actually does is check that you running cheat engine.(nvm theres a bypass for that too) The lvl 46 ban still works, boss mods online and mods in general still work for free. This update was a complete joke and just makes the game worse to play for people that are not trying to cheat. All of the issues from before are still here. Honestly the update should just be reverted this is a complete joke. The game just runs worse with no actual fixes. Thanks EA for making the game worse for no reason.

the anti cheat was released but cheaters can bypass it in the same day, now have less compatibility with some operating systems(i can't play in steam deck now) making this a complete waste of time and they don't wan't to put boss hunt and cats vs dinos in the mystery portal rotation?PvZ is my favorite franchise and PvZ GW2 my favorite game, but this make me feel upset and disappointed

I'm guessing there just isn't a flag for people using old versions of the game? People are still using bosses and hacks in game.

That's not exactly the problem if you read what we were talking about. The problem isn't reporting them, it's them not updating their game to get the anticheat implemented into GW2 which for some reason still allows them to hop into online multiplayer despite you needing the update.

@Jacob2of3The fact that the cheaters bypassed it in 5 minutes is something all right.I know this is petty but lets not forget it took them months to make this and they shot down the mystery portal fix for this only for it to just make the game worse. Pvz fans taking another L.Agreed. This update needs immediate fixing or should just be done from scratch again as all its done is make the game worse for legitimate players and good modders while doing nothing about the actual problem.Already seeing several subreddit players uninstalling the game till this issue is resolved sadly since the update has quite literally made the game unplayable for several of them.

@stukapooka Mods just take longer load now. The anti cheat didnt do anything and is causing a lot of problems. At least you can customize the splash screen.

Hopefully this is just going to be a day one issue they can address in a patch in the next couple of days.

@Jacob2of3 From what i've seen its just made it a bit more inconvient to mod (non cheating mods of course) and all the hackers just stayed on an older version of the game anyway.

How did this go so horribly in not even ten minutes.

EA doesn't care

We are doomed, better if you play the game offline

@stukapooka im pretty sure you can not use the older versions. Well actual theres a method but its not that known. Even if they were able to you cant use the servers. This anti cheat is just that bad.
