    That sounds VERY unlikely. I’m gonna need a source for that (with vanguard) or I’m calling bullshit

        EAC is notoriously less invasive than vanguard. The repo you linked doesn’t even have a fraction of what you’d need to hide from vanguard.

        There are SO many things to hide. In theory it sounds possible, in practice just not.

        To name a few, you’d have to hide:

        • cpu jitter/latency
        • interrupt behavior
        • page table behavior
        • msr access
        • cache invalidation patterns
        • IOMMU
        • PCIe inconsistencies
        • boot sequence
        • driver timing
        • CPUID

        And so much more. It’s almost impossibly hard to hide all that. Even if you could, a tiny mistake at one point or a stealth update and you’re banned.

        In comparison, avoiding vanguard and cheating on a legit windows machine is trivial. DMA cards are expensive but impossible to detect. DP/HDMI + mouse hooks are another impossible to detect option.

            Well they’re still able to block 99% of the “script kiddies” that just download a cheat to feel better about themselves. I feel like besides at the top 0.01%, this is by far the largest portion of cheaters.
