- Part of a Broader Effort: This is part of ongoing efforts by Visual Concepts and the Game Security team to detect and minimize cheating.
- Other Measures: EAC will work alongside existing measures like behavior-based bans, anti-tampering, and in-game reporting.
Before Installing Update 3.0
- Update Windows: Ensure your PC has the latest version of Windows for compatibility.
- Update Drivers: Make sure your graphics card and other essential drivers are up-to-date.
