War Thunder Anti-Cheat System Update

You’re pointing at a website that says it was updated less than two weeks ago.

You’re claiming that because websites can LOOK old, an undated EULA and a privacy policy on a site that has had no updates of any kind in over seven years has some legal validity a user should rely on. Not how this works, I’m afraid.

Man, you don’t get the point. It’s a waste of time to discuss with you…

I’m not against a better anticheat, but why scan the hole hard drive for this…

On Battleye, if the EULA is on their website, it does not matter when/if it was updated. That will be the standing agreement.

That is quite literally the Legal Validity for the users LOL
If they have not provided an “updated” one ANYWHERE to the END-USERS, then this is the legally binding EULA, despite it “not being updated”

Well, I have been reading a list of BattlEye games, and I think I may have been too worried, hahah.

Enlisted, ArmA 3, PUBG, XDefiant (RIP), GTAV, Heroes and Generals (RIP)…

I’ve played all of those and I never had any issues regarding false positives so far, so I hope it will still be the case with War Thunder!

That being said, the recent exploit that allowed people to abuse the system to target arbitrary players and cause false positives still kinda worries me.

There are some VERY toxic players on this community which I can perfectly imagine going as far as to exploit this if they could just to ruin someone they dislike, someone who killed them fair and square, etc.

If many games are switching to BattlEye, I’d like to think they have good reasons to do so!

I’ll try to remain optimistic and trust in Gaijin’s plan…

Excited for this

cant that make false positives and performance issues ?

Mate, Battle Eye is very damn effective.
You’re in this world assuming it’s gonna magically stop hackers but completely neglect the fact that hackers are coders. This is why they are used in governments. Compared to EAC->you move a few files around it cannot detect this.

Battle eye however will detect the files being moved around, scan which files are the actual hacks, and operate as needed.

as long as it works and doesn’t falsely flag tons of people, I’ll be happy.

Anyway for those who read this. If you aren’t sure what Stona is saying. To put it bluntly. Cause way you write Stona is like trying to read medieval English, really dang on confusing.

Simplified Stona paragraph->EAC go bye-bye, Hangar, Music, Voice, Userskins, Custom Sights and so on will not get you banned with Battle Eye. If it accidentally does->File a support ticket.

That’s all he’s saying.

Wow. That’s a new information for me thank you!

Let’s be clear. Through the power of Google you found an undated, .TXT document on the BattlEye website that hasn’t been updated in over seven years, that is not actually linked from any of their actual website pages. Not anywhere.

If it was their standard EULA they would say so somewhere on their website, or link to the document you found, surely. Their privacy policy, which does not link to the .TXT document you found, states that the EULA “comes with the games we support”, not “can be found on our website HERE”.

You’re really grasping at straws. That .TXT file you found has no legal weight unless you, the player, is at least somewhat realistically able to consent to it or know where it is.

But hey, yeah, Gaijin has a responsibility to tell us if that .TXT file you found is the legal document we’re all consenting to by continuing to play with BattlEye installed. That’s all people are asking for, really.

Listen bud, you’re super pressed about the “not being updated” thing.
That was from Battleye’s website, so please, open the game and read your “updated” EULA you’re screaming for.

have a good day!

Might aswell not have anti-cheat at all then.

Anti-cheat vs cheating software is a war, and you suggest putting up a sign that says “plz no invade” is enough to stop the war.

Yep. People really do not understand ACs at all.

Hello,
What if I have a BattleEye Global ban from over 10 years ago will that not allow me to play WT anymore which I have sunk hours and a lot of money in to?

Do you still have the same hardware?

If they perma banned you, its most likely tied to your HWID of your tech, so if you have newer stuff, you might* be good.

*could be tied to steam/IDs as well
