While I would still prefer no anti-cheat, this also means we probably won’t have to worry about a non-compatible anticheat getting added later.

    Feels like client side anticheat is a perpetual game of cat and mouse either way. EGS certainly doesnt prevent cheaters from spoiling apex (impossible aim & recoils control, impossible aim snapping & prefiring on target location, impossible movement etc).

    Server side would be great but extremely costly in terms of performance from what little I understand.

      I think VAC is the best. It will be interesting to see how VACnet develops with the AI boom now.

        Neat! I wasn’t aware of this. Has there been any press or indication of its efficacy so far?

          Valve are very mouth shut about AC, which is for the best. They also have trust factor, which is a rating given to your account based on many factors across Steam, to try and predict if you are trustworthy, so it will match you with other trusted accounts.
