Ensuring Fair Play
Key Points:
- Embark's anti-cheat system for ARC Raiders combines kernel-level protection from Easy Anti-Cheat with machine-learning models trained on player telemetry to detect and prevent cheating effectively.
- Kernel-level detection is crucial as most commercial cheats operate at this level, and Embark is testing a new solution to improve detection and precision in specific game areas like Speranza and the Rust Belt.
- The company focuses on distinguishing between legitimate use of accessibility devices and cheating, using telemetry and communication pattern analysis to protect players who rely on such equipment.
- Ban appeals are reviewed manually by Embark's team to ensure fairness, with ongoing refinements to the process to maintain accuracy and consistency in decisions.
- Embark is committed to continually improving their anti-cheat measures and promises further updates on their efforts to ensure fair play in ARC Raiders.
