War Thunder Anti-Cheat System Update

In the coming weeks, War Thunder will be fully protected by a new anti-cheat system, BattlEye! With its help, we’ll be able to fight prohibited modifications even more effectively.

For players who don’t cheat, nothing will change, except for the window when launching the game, as it’ll have the BattlEye logo instead.



Advantages of the BattlEye anti-cheat Many online games are already using BattlEye, including one of Gaijin’s games, Enlisted. This anti-cheat will also come in handy in War Thunder! It effectively combats unfair play, working on both the server and client sides, constantly monitoring for interference in game processes. This means the most prohibited modifications are completely blocked when the game is launched.

The replacement process Replacing the anti-cheat system on a specific device may take a little time and will happen when launching War Thunder. In the future, when you launch the game, you’ll be greeted by a window with the new anti-cheat system. Globally, the transition will occur gradually in waves, meaning both anti-cheats will be supported for some time. However within a few weeks, we’ll completely switch to BattlEye.

Q: Will BattlEye anti-cheat affect performance?
