Bobbysauce Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 I also don’t think highlights has anything to do with it, when you run the game, the AC is scanning your computer and going through non game related folders. That is the issue here that I find so troublesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakester Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 ion way could also be to take screenshots during the game. BSG wouldn’t be the first to do that. in the case of scan and detect really one of the easiest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) As for the whole subject access request that your friends have done - BSG are allowed up to one month to process the request and can return the data they collected on you and they can charge you for that request if it's deemed an excessive request (and to my knowledge they get to decide what's excessive). As for the whole file scanning, I'm not sure if it's true but it's most likely written in the TOS. EAC, Battleye all knowingly scan game files for cheats so it's not an absurd theory. For anyone who isn't aware GDPR only applies to people within the EU. Doesn't matter where BSG is. Edited August 3, 2018 by Noah33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTrueSergei Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 We all knew from the start that BSG was a shady bunch of commies lol, it's why we were cheating in their game. They have taken efforts to censor people who talk badly about the game They take forever to develop something on one of the simplest low-tier game engines on the market. They have a pretty good budget yet cannot buy a proper anti-cheat so they code their own they're getting desperate for more money and players (the sale after the banwave) The concept that they are spying on people's computers honestly doesn't surprise me. Keep up the good work researching. If it turns out this is true though, and it gets exposed, this will kill the game, and we'll have to cheese something else.

I too was curious and did some digging and forum reading. Please keep in mind I do not know much about this and only have a basic understanding. It appears that the new AC update was a complete an total overhaul from what we were previously dealing with, boss man has his work cut out for him. Some data I was reading shows that the update AC actually checks MVS projects, it also appears temporary files are being added to registries that work to detect the cheese injection or something like that (Didn't understand that part to well, but battle eye has done something similar to prevent cheese from injecting). Some are saying what BSG is doing could be considered illegal as it is scanning documents and files that could pertain sensitive information (NDA, Confidential files...shit like that). A thing called GDPR (The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a legal framework that sets guidelines for the collection and processing of personal information of individuals within the European Union (EU). The GDPR sets out the principles for data management and the rights of the individual, while also imposing fines that can be revenue-based. The General Data Protection Regulation covers all companies that deal with data of EU citizens, so it is a critical regulation for corporate compliance officers at banks, insurers, and other financial companies.") is meant to protect users from this. I do know some people who have requested "stored data in regulation with GDPR" to be sent to them, but all three of them have been ignored. Regardless it appears that they have engineered the AC to actually detect the makers of the cheese first. So my guess is Boss man was detected without realizing it and they let it play out and i guess you could say...followed the code... I need friends. So in conclusion from the data and posts I have read BSG has gone no fucks given mode and are willing to do just about anything (legal or not) to stop the cheesing. I would be curious to see if anything has been added to the TOS to allow this invasion of information to occur, however with that said my understanding is that local law takes priority in these types of maters. Even if they are allowed to pull questionable data in Russia, they should not be allowed to do it within other countries. Again, I want to reiterate that I am no genius when it comes to understanding this stuff but thought it be cool to contribute what I did find out and could understand with the rest of the user base who too might be curious. PS: I know my formatting sucks, and please add to this or correct me if I am wrong. Please lets keep this civil! PSS: They are using the AC called Saberclaw. Thanks again for reading. I bet you agree to everything they are doing in "Terms and Services". Even their website now scans your cookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firechicken Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I honestly dont think they base their ban system off website cookies. If they did there would be a lot of people on reddit getting banned because they feel the need to come on here and look for info and take screenshots of posts.

Taavi Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Well, we are dealing with russians here so anything goes I suppose. For now I think we get more information when the cheat comes back up and see for how long it stays undetected after re-release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
