A couple of users have been asking as to why the RTSS overlay (e.g. statistic overlay software in AfterBurner) is not working with Watch Dogs 2. Our in-house programmer and developer Unwinder today ... Update: Watch Dogs 2 Anti Cheat System Blocks RTSS Overlay Software
Mail sent. Hopefully they will work on this without the usual delay.. Send mail guys, the more we send the more chances for it (I guess).
Yep, same with SURVARIUM game which uses same Anti-cheat system "EasyCheat" but you won't get banned, it's just your MSI afterburner won't run in the game.
Sent them an email. Also, for the love of God don't send emails with tons of hate-filled ****. It won't get anything accomplished.
Yep just noticed that it has links for 6.2.0 and 6.4.0, but no 6.3.0. HALP! Message sent to EasyAntiWhitelistRTSSPleaseCheat. Hope they do something quick.
RTSS 6.3.0 was not distributed as a stand alone version, it is a part of MSI Afterburner 4.1.0/4.1.1 distributive. If you absolutely need to get that old version, you may temporarily install version 4.1.x of MSI AB, find RTSS 6.3.0 installer in .%MSIAfterburner%\Redist\ folder and save it somewhere then use it as stand alone installer if necessary. However, personally I don't think that it is a good idea to downgrade it to 2 years old version just because of one game. I'd better wait for EasyAntiCheat update.
Looks like adding "-eac_launcher" is all that is required for toggling Easy Anti Cheat off. (And yes that's actually the same forced command-line parameter when you start the game, somehow having it twice shuts EAC down in-game and allows processes like Afterburner to interact with the game again without being blocked.) Taken from this discussion. -> http://www.cheathappens.com/show_board2.asp?headID=132522&titleID=22151 Ubisoft could patch this though (Rather they'd patch in a launch option for if you want to start with or without EAC when starting the game though like some other software using this solution does it.) but for now it's working fine though with the caveat of also disabling online functionality almost completely. EDIT: Rewrote the post, hopefully it's a bit better now.
I just received a response from EAC. They said they are currently working on white-listing RTSS that it will be fixed in the next game update.
Received this responds at 4:56 PM Hi, Thanks for contacting us. We are working on white-listing RTSS and it will be fixed soon (within next game update). -- Best regards, EasyAntiCheat Team
Thanks for sharing! Never worked with EAC before so didn't even occur to me that there'd be CLI options as usual. Yep, got the same email.
