OUTRIDERS Message Board  

probably in the middle of the screen lmao

I noticed that there will be a new EAC integration to the main game. Thearcan confirmed that in one of his replies on reddit. Curious if that will cause a problem or not. I know there are so far a few ways to get around EAC right now. Actually the route I took was to just use the EAC Uninstaller in the demo folder. Works like a charm. And there's a few other methods but who knows what that new integration will hinder when bypassing EAC.

As long as I can play with my buddies who don't mind then i'm ok with it. Every game I have joined thus far is just people who don't know the matchmaking is on by default and freak out and leave because a stranger joined anyways. They need to turn OFF matchmaking by default so that only people LFG will get players.

The only wet on the screen would be my tears if what redster311 said was true.

So who here actually believes that you've got to delete your characters to avoid the multiplayer ban?
Personally, if the devs know exactly who's been cheating and who hasn't then why don't they just delete your characters?

It's probably a test to see if you're genuine about playing honestly.

Good news, boys, We're just going to get what amounts to a slap on the wrist for cheating.

"In a recent dev update looking forward to next week's launch, the studio revealed that cheating in Outriders will not only earn you stiff matchmaking penalties, but also a "discreet but visible" watermark that will never go away. Brands over bans, basically."

I can live with a watermark, since it's just me seeing it, and I can live with matchmaking penalties, since I wasn't planning on matchmaking. It means I get to experience this game as a single player game and cheat while doing it. Yay!

For me though I'd like to play the game in multi-player with a group of friends however, when playing with the group of friends I do not intend to cheat in any way. That being said, I also have a busy life and don't have the time to grind out endless quests for the loot I'm after so if I have the option to play the game in single-player only mode and activate a cheat that'll allow me to progress a little faster then I do not see the problem in doing that. I don't ruin my friends experience or enjoyment of playing the game in any way.
