Hi,

As many of you are aware, with the most recent update to the game, some Windows 7 users are apparently unable to play the game because Easy Anti-Cheat stopped supporting this OS. I unfotunately happened to be one of them, I tried so many different solutions without success. I customized my Windows 7 to suit me, and I refuse to use Windows 10 because of its many privacy violations, so that's not even an option for me.

As someone who has been playing the game since launch, I find it completely unreasonable to be unable to access the game because of a third party software. So, if enough players agree with my argument, which includes people who refuse to change their OS because Epic (not even PA) said so, then let's bring more attention to this topic, and hopefully PA will stop using EAC.

Thank you

I'm down with abandoning EAC because it's a performance drain

There may be reasons to be against EAC, like there  are for every Anti Cheat Software, but because it does not support an old, outdated, and unsafe OS anymore is none of them!

Yeah dude.....they should use XIGN3 🤣...... /s

Windows7 is dead, Windows 10 will be dead in like 1 year and 6 months and if you want "privacy" you should be using Linux

They are going back to XIGNCODE.

Good job, they listened to you! Xigncode is comming back! We are getting even worse malware than EAC.

Riddicolous change to say the least, feels like all these correct changes recently were made to start slowly walking in good direction to turn 180 and jump. Also xign is breaking eu gdpr law but I guess they don't care 

Last time they explained the use of xigncode couple years back https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/582660/view/4549154898511398413 lets see what they dish up this time or if they just repost this. And back then, in other korean games, xigncode was a plague and cheatfest, lets see what happens.

EAC doesn't do sh*t anyway(beside preventing playing other games on different version of EAC), not for BDO not for any other game, look at Apex Legends - cheater fest while game have EAC running.

"Does": prevents playing single player games with trainers and BDO in the background.

So the choice is simple: I even stopped afk in BDO.
