Developers of Battlefield 6 expressed satisfaction with the anti-cheat system's performance during the beta, despite acknowledging that it mobilizes a displeasure due to its impact on preventing certain players from participating.

In an interview with Eurogamer, Christian Buhl, the Technical Director of Battlefield 6, discussed the game's anti-cheat system and the challenges faced during its launch.

From the outset, anti-cheat was a high priority for the Battlefield 6 development team, according to Buhl. This focus was evident in the game's beta, which saw a massive success, with almost five billion kills across both weekends, as reported by EA.

However, some PC players encountered issues launching the game due to EA's anti-cheat system. It was identified that having Valorant installed could potentially cause these problems. Buhl acknowledged these issues and expressed regret for any inconvenience caused.

One of the measures taken to combat cheating is Secure Boot, a strong tool in the game's anti-cheat arsenal. Despite some players being unable to play due to Secure Boot, Buhl was "pretty happy with how the anti-cheat performed."

Buhl also admitted that the anti-cheat system has caused false positives, leading to innocent players experiencing problems. He acknowledged this issue and emphasised that it is an ongoing cat-and-mouse game, with the team constantly working to stay ahead of cheaters.

The anti-cheat system has been a point of focus since the beginning of Battlefield 6's development. Buhl expressed a desire for low friction in the gaming experience, but regretted that measures like Secure Boot are necessary.

In a positive note, Battlefield 6 will launch with free custom, persistent servers, a feature that fans are excited about. Buhl stated that the team is never able to achieve perfection in anti-cheat measures, but they are committed to improving and evolving the system.

Buhl also acknowledged the inconvenience caused by the Secure Boot feature, which prevents some players from playing Battlefield 6. He reiterated his regret for any issues caused and looked forward to continuing to work on solutions to improve the gaming experience for all players.
