• Players can now choose to disable fog. This option can be found in the Advanced Video settings (note that keeping fog enabled slightly impacts performance)

Nice! LO promises and LO delivers. I like the sound of that. 

Really hyped for EAC. Cant wait for FF to join it in the future.

BALANCE CHANGES:

• Previously when nerfing the Colby .45, an extra 5m was accidentally taken off the range. After testing we’ve decided to keep this, meaning the Colby .45’s range will stay at 45m.
• Coywolf VIP torque slowdown adjusted: 0.8 -> 0.94 (fixes ineffective modifier)

Oh they will not like this

BUG FIXES:

• Implemented a fix for the ‘car bug' (the issue where exiting a car while drifting caused players to visually desync for everyone else)
• Fixed an exploit involving objectives and crouching at the same time

We'll see about that...

What's the crouch one? Never heard of it...

yea i mean fairfight shouldnt be ditched anyway it was working at least

Most of the people banned in those days were just people Tiggs and her little clique didn't like. It had nothing to do with cheating.

 

There's a reason that she's so reviled by anyone who has even the slightest bit of a working moral compass.

Finally getting my undeserved ban lifted now!

If they're blatantly cheating then EAC has a much better chance of banning them than BE ever had, not to mention that they also talked about possibly returning FairFight in the future on top of EAC.

 

Overall happy to see EAC return and actually having meaningful patch notes along with it, hopefully this milestone patch is the first of many.

Oh my God!, this will be very good.

Thank you L.O

[Talla 84]

One more step forward.

Thanks LO!

FF is coming back? What software am I allowed to use while playing the game then? Because afair FF could ban you literally for everythning, that affects your gameplay more or less. I've been using this software for a while now, and everything was ok, but I just want to make sure, that I am doing everything right.

1st software is disabling one certain key on my keyboard, because I can't disable it ingame. "KeyTweak". It doesnt run when I play, but they key is generally disabled.
2d software is fixing my LMB double click problem. My mouse is a bit broken and sometimes it double clicks accidentally (not sure when I'll fix this). I use this software not specifically ingame, but generally, but it is still active when I play the game. "Left Mouse Button Fix"

 

Could I get my account banned for using the programms named or for my mouse hardware problem or for the disabled key? Because support said i'm using it on my own risk. And EAC support just ignored me. Mb SPCTs could answer better. Thanks.

FF was a purely server side anti-cheat that used stats to determine who's cheating and who isn't, it had no access to check what sort of programs you're running on your PC so your concerns are unwarranted.

All Helpers are members from SPCT, myself included, if you think someone is cheating the /report functionality should be a lot more effective in combination with EAC so I'll advise you to use it for any player you think may be cheating.

i expected this script of an answer XD

Good update. Just scared about the lack of a line drawn for modified files. 

[TheBulletDodger 0]

I couldn't log after the update it says "Error Code 10004 The account is currently in use from another client" is that normal?

If you're referring to players using edits to remove all smoke particles etc then I'm happy to inform you that EAC kicks you for using those type of edits.

This shall be the minum requirement, I hope they have already amplied the staff worthy enough for future regular updates.. not just for dropping them out after a pair of months...

 

Anticheat with proper updates work better with a worthy number of passionate admins/ Gamemasters with admin powers, not reporters slaves for people too busy/ doesnt care it in past.. and give them an paycheck or better give them experience/training in something worthy to write in a CV
