[2019] "Easy Anti Cheat" (EAC)

We have integrated a very effective anti-cheat system called "Easy Anti Cheat" (EAC) into Empyrion to avoid cheating on dedicated servers.

EAC is not activated per default because we did not yet run extensive tests - we are planning to activate it by the end of the next week. However, if you want to help us testing it, you can activate EAC as follows:

1. On your server, open dedicated.yaml and set:

EACActive: true

-> now EAC is active on your server

2. All clients that want to connect to your sever have to run "EGS.exe" from inside the installation folder of Empyrion: C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival (if Steam is not installed to standard location, see: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7418-YUBN-8129)

Remember: Starting the game normally from your Steam Client will not allow you to connect to an EAC protected server for now - you have to manually start "EGS.exe"


Our next steps:
- we will activate EAC per default in dedicated.yaml (however, you can opt out to not use EAC)
- all EAC protected servers will have an icon in the Server Browser

Please post your feedback in this thread.

Hi quicksilver,

do you mind stop trolling? I got several complaints about your behavior - even from some of the most vocal users around here.

So we KNOW you do not agree on how the game is done and you showed more then once that you are of the opinion that you know better how to do it.

So if you want to go on like this, please do so. I won't ban or delete your comments (like some suggested), but i'll just ignore them as they add nothing to an ongoing feedback process of an in-development game.

Your anger may be better spent on ay other Retail game that got sold "finished" but is not.

Thanks for listening ;-)

Du musst es nicht installieren. Du kannst auch ohne aktives tool offline und auf nicht-geschützten Servern spielen.
