In their post on the discussion board for Battlefield 6, Electronic Arts (EA) shared that their robust Javelin Anti-Cheat system has been highly effective. During the initial few days of the open beta, this anti-cheat solution thwarted approximately 330,000 attempts at hacking or tampering with the game.
In the post, a member of the EA Anticheat Team also wrote about the Secure Boot requirement for the PC version of Battlefield 6, and how it works with Javelin Anti-Cheat. The post mentions that Secure Boot was “not intended to be a silver bullet”. Rather, through Secure Boot, the Anticheat Team at EA is able to strengthen Javelin Anti-Cheat’s capabilities.
In regards to Secure Boot, I’d like to clarify that it was never intended as a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, think of Secure Boot as an additional tool in our defense strategy. It serves as another obstacle that makes it more challenging for developers of cheat software to produce such programs, and at the same time, assists us in identifying these attempts when they occur.
According to the post, it’s noted that over 44,000 suspected cheaters were flagged by players of Battlefield 6 during the initial day of the recent beta. An additional 60,000 reports followed within a day. These reports allow the Javelin Anti-Cheat team and Gameplay Integrity team to enhance their efforts in detecting cheating within the game. Furthermore, players found guilty of cheating are being proactively banned from the game.
The fight against cheating is ongoing and constantly changing, not a one-time solution. Strategies that were successful before or in other games may not be effective in every scenario.
In a statement made a few days prior to the launch of its betas, Electronic Arts emphasized the necessity of Secure Boot for providing advanced security measures, specifically supporting the anti-cheat features in Battlefield 6. Alongside Secure Boot, the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is essential for the PC version of Battlefield 6 as well. By implementing these security measures, Javelin Anti-Cheat becomes more effective at identifying and halting cheating software that starts up during a computer’s boot process, even before Windows is fully loaded.
Additionally, EA’s Anti-Cheat Squad is collaborating closely with the Battlefield Fair Play Unit to develop innovative measures against cheating specifically for the Javelin system within Battlefield 6.
The initial beta phase of “Battlefield 6” concludes today, marking the start of a second open beta test scheduled from August 14 to August 17. During this testing period, everyone is invited to experience “Battlefield 6”.
Participants in the trial phase have uncovered several novel aspects of Battlefield 6, including a fresh “Quick Spin” setting that enables players to swiftly rotate by 180 degrees on the spot. The initial beta testing has been exceptionally fruitful, with the Steam version of the game reaching a staggering high of over 521,000 simultaneous gamers at its peak.
Battlefield 6 is coming to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on October 10.
