[2022] PINNED: EAC Announcement from TFP (important)

EAC is already being administered through Epic as of Alpha 20. EOS is how the game will be handling cross platform play. The developers are getting all the "infrastructure" ready for when the new console versions eventually come out.

I'm sure many of you are experiencing some of the growing pains of this process with EOS/EAC causing errors and performance dips as well as the changes to how servers are organized. They want all of these issues ironed out and working smoothly long before the new console versions are released and full cross platform play starts.

No version of the game before Alpha 20 used EOS to run EAC and it would take a lot of effort to go back and make those compatible which is just not worth the effort when they are dead development versions and no longer supported. The easiest solution was to simply cut EAC from all of those old versions so that nobody would get the errors.

Originally posted by FandangoChristmas: You need to remove the horrible new server list, remove the EOS garbage, and then maby the game will work again. Such a disgrace to the customers dealing with this un-needed garbage, and being blocked for online play.

If only Steam bothered to provide support for other platforms.

Can someone expert please explain to me technically what is wrong with EOS?
Is there any proof that they (can) steal your personal data and not only your gaming one?
And, is it possible for them to still read your data if EAC is disabled in the launcher?

I'm not provoking or trolling, it's a truly interested question.
Thanks

When you look at it, EAC has been part of the game since literally forever. EAC is… Owned by Epic. It is only now that TFP is making changes to better support multi-platform play that people are suddenly up in arms because EOS is being included. They don’t get any more of your data than Steam does. Less even to be honest.
