In the coming weeks, War Thunder will be fully protected by a new anti-cheat system, BattlEye! With its help, we’ll be able to fight prohibited modifications even more effectively.
For players who don’t cheat, nothing will change, except for the window when launching the game, as it’ll have the BattlEye logo instead.
Advantages of the BattlEye anti-cheat
Many online games are already using BattlEye, including one of Gaijin’s games, Enlisted. This anti-cheat will also come in handy in War Thunder! It effectively combats unfair play, working on both the server and client sides, constantly monitoring for interference in game processes. This means the most prohibited modifications are completely blocked when the game is launched.
The replacement process
Replacing the anti-cheat system on a specific device may take a little time and will happen when launching War Thunder. In the future, when you launch the game, you’ll be greeted by a window with the new anti-cheat system. Globally, the transition will occur gradually in waves, meaning both anti-cheats will be supported for some time. However within a few weeks, we’ll completely switch to BattlEye.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Will sound modifications work?
A: Yes, they will.
Q: Will BattlEye anti-cheat affect performance?
A: The new anti-cheat should not affect FPS in the game. Since BattlEye will only work with the War Thunder client running, it will not affect the performance of your system in other tasks.
If you encounter any issues when launching the game or with software compatibility with the BattlEye anti-cheat system, please let us know on our bug report service by creating a report in the “Anti-Cheat” category.
