    EAC is notoriously less invasive than vanguard. The repo you linked doesn’t even have a fraction of what you’d need to hide from vanguard.

    There are SO many things to hide. In theory it sounds possible, in practice just not.

    To name a few, you’d have to hide:

    • cpu jitter/latency
    • interrupt behavior
    • page table behavior
    • msr access
    • cache invalidation patterns
    • IOMMU
    • PCIe inconsistencies
    • boot sequence
    • driver timing
    • CPUID

    And so much more. It’s almost impossibly hard to hide all that. Even if you could, a tiny mistake at one point or a stealth update and you’re banned.

    In comparison, avoiding vanguard and cheating on a legit windows machine is trivial. DMA cards are expensive but impossible to detect. DP/HDMI + mouse hooks are another impossible to detect option.

      yes, i said as much. vanguard iirc needs cpu jitter and driver timing adjustments, and i found a patched kernel for it at some point. at least last i checked, this might have changed. and yea, depending on how aggressive the company is, expect your accounts to be disposable.

      i’ve heard of the dp/hdmi thing and it’s so funny to me how they pour resources into it without being able to block cheaters at all.

        Well they’re still able to block 99% of the “script kiddies” that just download a cheat to feel better about themselves. I feel like besides at the top 0.01%, this is by far the largest portion of cheaters.
