The Javelin Anti-Cheat system that Battlefield 6 is using is giving good results for EA, with the company saying that cheat makers are getting increasingly frustrated.

    Per EA, only 1.5% of Battlefield 6 players are currently having issues with activating the security measure.

    Which doesn’t include people who will never buy the game because of the Secure Boot requirement in the first place. That said, “gamers” are known to suckers so it’s not surprising that players complain while bending over and taking it.

      Can we not just dunk on random people who are just enjoying themselves? I don’t like secure boot either for a plethora of reasons but yucking someone’s yum is peak reddit behavior.

        Individual players are welcome to play whatever they want, I’m talking about game company’s behaviour and gamer culture at large.

        To make a distinction that I’m not painting all players with the same brush, but instead talking about the loudest part of players who love to complain and then do the opposite of what they are complaining about.

    You can make such statements only, if you know how many cheaters are there. And if you know there are 2% cheaters, why didn’t you ban them?

      That and also: there are still cheaters, even after all that crap? That means those cheats still working are just not yet well known and distributed enough, which is simply a matter of time then?

      Well good thing those players gave EA kernel level access or it could happen they play against cheaters… Oh wait.

      Exactly. What a weird statement to make. Something like “managed to ban 93% more cheater than before” would’ve made more sense.
