ROBOSHIELD ACTIVATED!
Version number is 0.7.872
Freejam is really pleased to announce that it has teamed up with EasyAntiCheat to provide a fair and even playing field for all users in Robocraft.
EasyAntiCheat puts a wall around your game client and protects it from tampering using external software like Cheat Engine as well as custom provided mods such as dll mods, memory mods, packet sniffs, aim-bots, etc. EasyAntiCheat authenticates your game against the servers and verifies that the client is untampered with before allowing you to play.
EasyAntiCheat will self update before you launch your game with any new anti-hack updates much like an anti-virus app updates its protections.
What is fantastic about this is that the guys at EasyAntiCheat will continually focus on staying ahead of the hackers and that allows Freejam to focus on bringing you amazing new features and content – and let me tell you now, we have some HUGE things in store for you all in the not too distant future.
IMPORTANT!
Steam will automatically install EAC on your PC as part of the update.
Robocraft Game Launcher will trigger the EAC installer which will ask you to install it before you can play.
You will not be able to play Robocraft again until you have successfully updated.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED!
The terms and conditions of Robocraft has changed to incorporate a section about EAC. In order to make sure as many users are aware of this change as possible we will be shouting it out on all our channels.
