Yeh I understand it's never full proof, I don't think anything is that could be implemented tbh other than staff sitting on servers monitoring them.
It's a difficult situation for sure but I do think these type of Anti-Cheats make a noticeable difference and i'm all for that.
I think one good solution to this could be offering some form of incentive to community members to help police servers, maybe then no anti-cheat would be required. Just a thought. 🙂

@CarbonCarlWhat you suggest would defiantly be a start perhaps a hybrid approach? I don't mean to come down hard on people just wanting to enjoy the game ether. But people have to understand the wider implications of a scattershot solution kernel anything is in this context not to mention the lack of transparency. Beyond that troubleshooting false positives is a big issue.Yeah I mean I don't play online multiplayer games to cheat and make peoples lives miserable and I read the EULA and understand the need of course for PvP related activities:
Monitoring and Anti-Cheat Measures
EA utilizes technologies to detect and prevent cheating in the use of EA Services. and in particular, EA Games. These technologies may be developed by EA or a third party.
When you launch an online-capable game, these technologies may activate using kernel, admin or user privileges, and monitor your gameplay and device’s RAM, processes, communications, and file storage for the purposes of detecting violations of, and enforcing, the Code of Conduct in Section 6, including the use of Unauthorized Third-Party Programs. An Unauthorized Third-Party Program is a third-party program or file (such as a "add-on", "mod", "hack", "trainer", or "cheat") that EA believes (i) enables or facilitates cheating of any type; (ii) allows users to modify or hack the game interface, environment, and/or experience in any way not expressly authorized by EA; or (iii) intercepts, "mines", or otherwise collects information from or through the game.
EA may collect relevant information needed for our investigation and enforcement purposes such as your account information, details related to an Unauthorized Third-Party Program, any EA PC Game files that were modified, and times cheating was detected. We also may terminate your License and your EA Account if we determine you have been cheating.
When you exit an online-capable game, these anti-cheat technologies will be deactivated.
With that being said how does ones overclocked RAM or give you the right to get into my kernel as an admin and look at my communications? I fail to find anything regarding RGB services in violation of Section 6:
When you access or use an EA Service, you agree that you will not:- Violate any law, rule or regulation.
- Interfere with or disrupt any EA Service or any server or network used to support or provide an EA Service, including any hacking or cracking into an EA Service.
- Use any software or program that damages, interferes with or disrupts an EA Service or another's computer or property, such as denial of service attacks, spamming, hacking, or uploading computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses, cancelbots, spyware, corrupted files and time bombs.
- Interfere with or disrupt another player's use of an EA Service. This includes disrupting the normal flow of game play, chat or dialogue within an EA Service by, for example, using vulgar or harassing language, being abusive, excessive shouting (all caps), spamming, flooding or hitting the return key repeatedly.
- Harass, threaten, bully, embarrass, spam or do anything else to another player that is unwanted, such as repeatedly sending unwanted messages or making personal attacks or statements about race, sexual orientation, religion, heritage, etc. Hate speech is not tolerated.

- Publish, post, upload or distribute UGC or content that is illegal or that you don't have permission to freely distribute.
- Publish, post, upload or distribute any content, such as a topic, name, screen name, avatar, persona, or other material or information, that EA (acting reasonably and objectively) determines is inappropriate, abusive, hateful, harassing, profane, defamatory, threatening, obscene, sexually explicit, infringing, privacy-invasive, vulgar, offensive, indecent or unlawful.

- Improperly use in-game support or complaint buttons or make false reports to EA staff.
- Attempt to obtain, or phish for, a password, account information, or other private information from anyone else on EA Services.
- Make use of any payment methods to access or purchase EA Services for fraudulent purposes, without permission of the authorized owner, or otherwise concerning a criminal offence or other unlawful activity.
- Use any robot, spider or other automated device or process to access EA Services for any purpose such as scraping data or copying material.

- Use or distribute unauthorized software programs or tools (such as "auto", "macro", hack or cheat software), or use exploits, bugs or problems in an EA Service to gain unfair advantage.
- Engage or assist in cheating or other anticompetitive behavior (such as boosting, collusion, and match or matchmaking manipulation).
- Use or distribute counterfeit software or EA Content, including EA Virtual Currency.

- Sell, buy, trade or otherwise transfer or offer to transfer your EA Account, any personal access to EA Services, or any EA Content associated with your EA Account, including EA Virtual Currency and other Entitlements, either within an EA Service or on a third-party website, or in connection with any out-of-game transaction, unless expressly authorized by EA.
- Use an EA Service in a country in which EA is prohibited from offering such services under applicable export control laws.
- If an EA Service requires you to create a "username" or a "persona" to represent yourself in-game and online, you should not use your real name and may not use a username or persona that is used by someone else or that EA determines is vulgar or offensive or violates someone else's rights.
- Engage in any other activity that significantly disturbs the peaceful, fair and respectful gaming environment of an EA Service.
- Use information about users publicly available in any EA Service (e.g. on a leaderboard) for any purpose unrelated to the Service, including to attempt to identify such users in the real world.
- Promote, encourage or take part in any prohibited activity described above.
So if you are going to utilize 3rd party software then by all means please spend some of your money to make it decent? I don't see VAC having issues with the RGB strips and the like.
