Greetings, soldiers! We’re pleased to inform you that we have finally setup Easy Anti Cheat into major gaming modes for all players, we’re now ready to roll it out in one of the upcoming updates. It is an important step to integrate the Easy Anti Cheat system in our game.
The setup process will be done sequentially, and as for this current stage, we will start with EAC implementation in modes which have no markers, as well as tournaments, both being areas where EAC’s help is needed most. The statistics collected afterwards will help us to further improve EAC in future integrations, allowing us to progress to other game modes where prohibited modifications provide fewer advantages.
Enable EAC in advance
We have provided Easy Anti-Cheat for ‘no marker’ modes and tournaments , exactly where it’s help matters more. EAC asks your permission to run when you are entering such battles for the first time.
To avoid re-loading the War Thunder game client, make sure to check the box in the game launcher, you are free to do it any time. That’s all, EAC is on, and you are allowed to play all battle modes!
Double protection
The proven heuristic analysis mechanism continues its active duty in War Thunder. It allows us to effectively spot players with forbidden modifications. Also, you are free to address a direct complaint on any suspicious players via our Replay system.
We will continue to master the EAC algorithms in War Thunder to guarantee safe and enjoyable gameplay for you. Thank you for your support!
F.A.Q.
Does EAC affect a platform’s performance?
No, EAC requires minimal load of your system’s performance abilities, and you won’t notice any changes in performance.
I’m afraid EAC will ban me for sound mods, or team voice chat overlay.
Don’t worry, EAC protects only the core data of the game and doesn’t deal with sound mods. Also, all popular team communication applications are whitelisted in the EAC algorithms.
If you have any issues, please contact the EAC support service.
Are there any issues with EAC and anti-virus software?
Nope, EAC works well with the majority of antiviruses.
EAC is not effective, it can’t protect against anything!
Dozens of super popular gaming projects trust in EAC’s capabilities, so does the War Thunder team. Interestingly, most of these games do not have their own protection system, unlike War Thunder. Also, we continue to use EAC in other games, like Crossout and Cuisine Royale - everything is currently okay!
EAC reports an issue.
Try these solutions:
- Add EAC to the anti-malware exceptions;
- Re-check the EAC checkbox in War Thunder, reload the client,and run EAC again.
- Please report any problems to us.

Will EAC automatically ban players, or will it simply flag them for manual review? If it's automatic, can players appeal a ban and have their account restored?
I highly doubt.
I've heard that Visual Studio can get you banned with EAC.
RIP Linux users
Unfortunately yes, but game is still playable on Linux without any issues at the moment. But if they close online gaming for Linux platform, then bye bye WT.
I'm on Linux and I swear I get attacked by it sometimes just for winning to much.
Absolutely fantastic news, about time, and long over due. But it has arrived at last.
Yes we are happy with it too :)
I have read too many stories of false positives, even on the past Dev Server, and my account is way too valuable to lose it to an automated system... i guess i will give War Thunder a reast until stuff is more cleared out and safe for me...
Nevermind, i saw it's coming in an upcoming update, so i guess i can still play until then!
SPANISH_AVENGER, You can also play after it is introduced :) Ofcourse if you don't have anything to hide you should not worry about it.
Yay!!! This is what SIM really needed . . .well done Gaijin
Wait- sim still exist?
*EmyR_11, every day . . .wait . . . .you thought you were top of the food chain? . . . .ha ha
Hope you will still be showing the ban-list at the end of the month!
So not only you're telling that EAC is coming in a future update like 4 months ago, but you're also pretty much telling that it won't be active in Arcade game modes... Where 70+% of your community sits... Yeah... I'm not thrilled for this anymore...
The post says they're adding it sequentially. They're starting with modes without markers, as that's where cheating is the most effective, and gradually implementing it into other modes.
arcade literally holds your hand, it automatically spots anyone in line of sights, tells you how and where to aim, tells you the distance, buffed vehicle movement etc that game mode is basically a cheat in itself lol
Will that work properly on Linux?
No, EAC doesnt work on linux so RIP linux users. They did have linux support as well as Mac over a year ago, but as soon as EPIC bought EAC, they axed both Linux and Mac.
How does this affect us Linux users running with Wine/Proton?
finally, enough with letting cheaters keep playing, too bad this does not extend to trolling others on a match
Since there is no Skynet yet (I hope there is non), and AI is on stage where it have problems to recognize cat on picture, we would leave reporting trolling behaviour to our players, not machines. You are more than welcome to report via in game complain system any user that breaks game rules.
Stona_WT, if that in game reporting were actually taken seriously, there would be alot more people chatbanned...or just banned in general
