Embark has hit an important milestone in its continued mission to root out and prevent cheating in Arc Raiders. The Denuvo Anti-Cheat software is now part of the experience for all players in the extraction shooter, and the devs are keeping an eye out for any anomalies it may cause.
"We have completed our rollout of Denuvo Anti-Cheat to all players," Embark community lead Ossen says in a new blog post. "We're keeping a close eye on its impact and performance."
Denuvo is part of ongoing efforts to combat people who're using various third-party services to get an unfair upper-hand while playing, as well as the exploits that are continually popping up. Embark's been playing whack-a-mole with duplication glitches near enough since Arc Raiders launched, as members of the community keep finding different ways of getting away with it.
"We are working on a more extensive update on our efforts towards fair play, which we'll share as soon as it's ready," the post finishes. This echoes prior messaging, where the studio emphasized how much of an ongoing process this is.
The plan is to put a framework in place where cheating of any kind is quickly noticed, and stamped out just as fast. "This means carefully detecting incidents, addressing them directly, and building safeguards to prevent them from happening in the future," a previous blog says. "It's detailed, methodical work."
That much is definitely true. These anti-cheat add-ons can create hurdles, due to false flags and potentially harming people's hardware. Obviously, the less of that the better, and treating it like a gradual process rather than a catch-all solution is always the right way forward in matters such as these.
