PLAYER PROTECTION

ANTI-CHEAT

Binary hardening aims at disrupting cheating and making it harder to develop and maintain cheating tools by using various security techniques. We've focused our efforts over the course of the year with new security updates that hit current cheats while making it difficult to introduce new cheats. This is a long-term, ongoing investment where we will continue to push updates on a more frequent basis to ensure that the game is played fairly.
