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.
The War Thunder Team

does that mean you guys ran a game for 7 years without anti-cheat?
Yes though me personally I haven't seen any of this "Cheating" in any of my matches. But it is great that it's coming, even though it should've been part of the game when it first came out.
I got some questions to your EAC usage. Which data do collectet with the EAC Software? Does it record all running processes (and or does it read personal data or System data form the PC)? Where do you save the collected data and does any other thirdparty-companies have access to it? I hope you can answer this questions. Thanks in advance.
What's the system in place for when EAC will ban people that weren't actually cheating?
I've noticed since the experimental implementation of EAC a while ago, every single time I start WT,w I have to close all my RGB software processes or else EAC will flag it as potential cheating software and boot me out. Sometimes I forget to do this and get reminded by EAC. Is there a chance this might get me banned after "proper" implementation of EAC now?
Wait what RGB program? I use iCUE will that get me banned?
What about ULQ??? When will you get rid of THAT cheat...??? ;)
Yes!!!! basically the worst cheat of all, sanctioned X-ray vision for those that use ULQ
Sounds awesome! lets hope we dont get many false ones.. Except the ultra low graphic players, i hope they get banned xP
Just FYI with this system it means nobody using Win 8.1 with AMD is gonna be able to play your game as EAC bans those with unsigned drivers and the AMD signed drivers? Are for Win 7 and Win 10 ONLY. Ironically you can use hacked Win 7 drivers but the stability leaves something to be desired but the latest version officially supported on 8.1 is 17.71 which has unsigned drivers.
What Privacy Policy does EAC support and what operating system information does it collect? Does it have the ability to read protected and private information which might be stored on the computer and not related to the game and how do you verify this?
https://www.easy.ac/en-us/support/ragnarok/account/privacy/ - lots of details here
Appertizer, Well, almost sounds good except for the open-ended clause: •Other equivalent information Like bitcoin wallets (for the purpose of validating purchases), banking history files in your browser cache, and other associated cookies and information for which they consider "equivalent"
I don't see any "EAC checkbox". Would I not be able to queue for Realistic modes if EAC would be off? So I guess it's on and fine?
It's not active yet. You will notice launcher update when it will be online.
Stona_WT, Ah I see , thanks. I saw screenshots of it and thought the checkbox should already be there.
Good job, Gaijin! Thanks for your hard work.
