RANKED MODE: DUEL 1V1

Duel is a game mode played 1 versus 1 where the objective to win by securing the golden frag.

Golden frag status is given to the player who is in the lead when the match timer has ended. To secure the victory the player with golden frag status needs to secure 1 last frag. If both players are tied during golden frag status. Each player can secure the victory with 1 frag.

The initial time limit is set at 12 minutes but it shifts depending on the current standing of the player that gets the frag: If a player is tied or in the lead, a frag from them will decrease the time limit by 20 seconds, if a player is losing a frag from them will increase the time limit by 20 seconds.

Note: We might remove variable match timer, and instead change the time limit based off different players skill in match making. Example. Low skill 7 minute duels, mid skill 9 minutes, high skill 12 minutes.

Players spawn with 125 Health w...

Context and TL;DR

A thread was started in this subreddit that started a bit of a scare regarding our announced anti-cheat solution EQU8, which is a new solution made by Swedish startup Int3 Software. The main reasons why we chose EQU8 were that we experienced a high level of engagement and support, they were very receptive to our suggestions and their product doesn’t suffer from excessive loading times, unlike the only other solution that fit our requirements. In the thread it was claimed that EQU8 is excessively intrusive and some people were uncomfortable with a new product. We made as thorough an investigation into the claims as we possibly could with our limited time and resources, and we have resolved those concerns to our satisfaction. We found both the EQU8 product and their company to be as privacy-mindful as they could be given their product’s function. In this thread we will go through our findings and other background information.

You are right that EAC doesn't allow launching a game with kernel testsigning turned on but that gives me a clear indication without banning or lowering my trust score.

However, I'm able to run all other games like QC, Overwatch, Destiny etc. fine. Just not Apex legends (protected by EAC).

With EQU8, will it allow launching the game but silently lower my trust score because it is suspecting me of cheating? If that's the case, I'm okay with rather rebooting with testsigning turned off every time I want to play Diabotical.

If EQU8 prevents loading the game that would be clear but I don't know what it will do. Some transparency here would be greatly appreciated.

Also thank you very much for a reply. I don't expect you to reply on weekends :)

Ah, I see what you mean now. You won't be able to play until you turn it back on, just like Apex.

I talked to EQU8 who were kind enough to help me on a Saturday and asked them about the issues raised in this post and yesterday’s one.

Will the driver collect data (such as keystrokes when game window is not in focus, memory contents of other processes or of the kernel, files on the disk etc.) and if so what does it do with it? Does it anonymize and encrypt personal data before sending it over the network?

About what exactly is read I’ve asked for a full list and they will get back to me on Monday (but they confirmed no keystrokes of unfocused windows). No personal data is transmitted. An exception would be filenames. If you named your cheat “tekn0z_wallhack.dll”, they would see that string. Even the username in a path would be stripped, so “C:\Users\Tekn0z\aimbot.dll” would become “5\aimbot.dll”. All communication is encrypted. Also, EQU8 is a Swedish company and subject to all EU data protection legislation. We inquired about privacy be...

We’ll be showing Equ8 all of this stuff as we have in the past when somebody brings something like this to our attention. I will update this post with what I learn. We will obviously drop Equ8 if it’s not up to the task. False positives are obviously concerning. The level of inspection that you mention, although not great, it seems to me like it could be the same in all other anticheat solutions with any degree of effectiveness, but I don’t want to speculate and we’ll look into that too. Feel free to correct me if you have inspected different anticheats and have more information in the privacy area. TL;DR: We are gonna look into this and change anticheat vendor if necessary.

I’ll share the full rationale for going with Equ8 at the risk of being a bit too open. With the technical information I extracted from the vendors we talked to, I expect it to be a bit lighter on performance than other competitors and just as good in terms of detection. This is just an educated guess, b...
