Battlefield 6 has faced significant challenges with cheating since its October 10 launch, despite EA implementing Javelin anti-cheat measures.
Persistent Cheating Issues
Players report widespread cheating in Battlefield 6. Despite Javelin, cheats such as aimbots and infinite grenade trainers remain prevalent. EA permanently banned Cronus Zen users, yet many continue to bypass protections.
- Battlefield 6 launched on 2023-10-10.
- Javelin is a kernel-level anti-cheat requiring Secure Boot.
- 330,000 anti-cheat bypass attempts blocked during beta.
- Cheats like soft aimbots still circumvent protections.
Javelin's Impact and Limitations
Javelin operates at Ring 0, raising security and compatibility issues. It complicates dual-boot setups and excludes SteamOS and many Linux users from accessing the game. Industry concerns about kernel-level anti-cheat persist, prompting debates on alternatives like server-side measures or mobile verification.
Potential Alternatives
Suggestions for less intrusive anti-cheat solutions include mobile number verification and server-side interventions. Such approaches might mitigate compatibility issues and offer broader player access.
