Anti-cheat program is the problem
The biggest point of criticism from users is Anti-Cheat Expert. The kernel-based anti-cheat program is automatically installed with the game - to the displeasure of some Steam users. Write something like thisGetty:
The game installs a kernel-level anti-cheat without informing you about it (you just click "Yes" for admin rights). After uninstalling the game, the anti-cheat program will NOT be removed. I can still see all files in C:\Program Files\Anti-Cheat-Expert and all services (Anti-Cheat-Expert Protection, Anti-Cheat-Expert Service) on my PC.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS GAME. […]
The userIzzyGGNwrites:
I appreciate your commitment to the development of Delta Force. It has the potential of an FPS battlefield competitor. But it's very shabby to use spyware to dig deeper into my data. I understand that everything now is about information and selling it, but breaking into my personal photos and private files is illegal unless you have permission, but no.
Other users provide instructions in their reviews on how to remove the program. Kernel-based anti-cheat programs are highly controversial because they pose a potential danger and can, for example, serve as a gateway for hackers.
Developers need to inform players
At the end of October 2024, Steam announced that developers would allow users to purchase a game. On the German oneSteam-ShopseiteThe use of the corresponding software is noted by Delta Force.
There is one on the official Delta Force websiteown entry on anti-cheat measures. On the one hand, players can find out about the cooperation between developers and anti-cheat experts. On the other hand, it says here that a task force “to combat cheats and other violations” will be set up.
An overview also lists any penalties for violations.Anyone who uses cheats can expect an account or ranking ban of up to 10 years. Anyone who spreads misinformation in the chat or insults other users there must expect an account or chat ban of up to 10 years - depending on the severity.
