Apex Legends streamers warned to 'perform a clean OS reinstall as soon as possible' after hacks during NA Finals match - PC Gamer pcgamer.com/games/battle-royale/…
 
> The hack may have been spread through Apex's anti-cheat software.
> "There is currently an RCE exploit being abused in [Apex Legends]" and that it could be delivered via from the game itself, or its anti-cheat protection. "I would advise against playing any games protected by EAC or any EA titles", they went on to say.
Remote code execution via the anti cheat software.
DRM at its finest.
 
A lot of people don't buy this though, they assume this is just the streamers trying to cover up their own cheating

Yeah... and obviously:
- the Anti-Cheat Police Department has nothing better to do than trying to cover up two unrelated players cheating. Do they really think someone paid them?
- Even better: EA is just accepting people going around accusing they to pack trash that allows for RCE in their games without any actual proof.
Really, even if some bad actor was involved, the PR damage on EA (a company most player already hate with passion) is big enough that they would do anything to cover up the fact that their horrible DRM colander not only impairs paying customers more than ones playing the cracked version, it also makes them vulnerable to hacking.
If they aren't jumping at the throat of these streamers then... it is probably true.
100+ characters.... Suikoden, is that you?

Q: Can you rename your ship?

StevoisiakAfter completing the tutorial in Helldivers 2, you are asked to name your ship. Is it possible to rename your ship later on?

> WARNING: PSN Corrupted libraries - Lost access to digital purchases.
A few users are reporting a bug that wipes your digital purchased games license status, rendering you unable to play all your digital purchases.
 
@SPArcheon Do you have a source for that?
Because all I can find is a 2 week old Reddit post
 
@Nzall one of the reddit posts has video proof.
@Nzall also... too coordinated to be an hoax. There are TONS of reddit posts.
also sites like Metro, dualshockers
Something I noticed:
> And lastly, u/Gold-Biscotti-7391 reported that extending your PS+ subscription by a month could restore your access to the PS+ catalog, and in my case it did work. Immediately after extending, my "Purchased" games list expanded to improve every title I'd ever redeemed on PS+, both Catalog games and Monthly games. I tried a few of those PS+ catalog and monthly games that were previously inaccessible and they work now.
... people acting surprised, but that is exactly how PS+ games work.
> Once your PlayStation Plus subscription ends, content you previously downloaded at no cost as part of the subscription (such as monthly games) will no longer be available
That said... I am kinda curious.
Did they lose access to the ps+ games at the same time ad the actual digital purchases?
I hope this is not a "code that should retract only your ps+ expired licenses retracts everything" bug....

@SPArcheon EAC is not just on EA games btw. it's on a ton of games, including Fall Guys, Fortnite, Rust, and hundreds of other games: easy.ac/en-us/partners
If this is in fact a bug in EAC, this basically impacts most popular multiplayer games.
 
You didn't get it. Let me explain.
A renowed Twitter account warns people that right now it may be risky to play EA games. What you would do if you were EA? If you can prove the claims are fake, you would jump at the account, have them remove the slander, maybe even sue them.
The fact that EA or even the company that made EAC did not refuse (as far as I know) the claim seem to indicate they are unable to.
Therefore for now I am willing to believe that the presented issue is indeed true and not a build up to save two random streamers.
I was probably unclear, but my point isn't against the DRM specifically. My point is that if all of this was fake I would expect something as big as EA to act to take down the accusation.
 
I looked into it a bit more. reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1bhfo6t/… there are tons of incident over the past months related to Apex Legends, and EA and Respawn appear unable to actually fix it
 
10:54 AM
interesting. They mention the same name that was listed in this alleged discord screen.

Yeah just seen that
And the thing is crazy bad
like the hacker can hit you, and activate hacks on your game; hacks that will be found by the AC and get you banned
one of the biggest APEX players has been hit with a ban like that
and the hackers don't even need to be part of the match; a dude got hacks activated on his game mid official match
Like idk how your anticheat is working, but if someone can from the game server install something on the computer playing that is BAD
and it shows that since the Save Titanfall attack, they didn't fix shit
It was like a year ago, people hacked the APEX servers and replaced all the 'news' it shows you with their 'save titanfall' campaign, and prevented anybody joining a match
So its fair to say that currently, the Apex servers are compromised, hard
What I don't understand is that ALGS also still plays on the classic servers
and not like League of Legends and I would guess lots of other esports, that have a tournament realm that is controlled
that cannot be ddosed because if you are not an ip of a player or a broadcaster, your connexion is simply refused

@Fredy31 Remember this?
> @the_secret_club - Apr 10, 2021
Two years ago, secret club member @floesen_ reported a remote code execution flaw affecting all source engine games. It can be triggered through a Steam invite. This has yet to be patched, and Valve is preventing us from publicly disclosing it.
 
4:35 PM
Am I the only one that is getting a "Zero difficulty" vibe from this?
Also... I am wondering....
Instead of getting a girl to play the girly stereotype and go Barbie with different outfits (so now we have a game about a female having "emotion powers" and a second one about "dress is what you are) ...
What about making another character that uses costumes to mimic foes powers? If you don't want to spend much time on the design just keep the color pink and give them some simple shape...
a pink sphere maybe....

So... I think this mod should be called Super Mario Odyside

@SPArcheon Yeah when i saw that game I really wondered wtf was nintendo going for again
because the old peach game was... rough and hard to not say sexist
like we want to make a game around our girl character, make her the protagonist for once. Ideas?
WELL GIRLS HAVE EMOTIONS, MAKE IT ALL AROUND IT
Like the main thing about that game was that you need to water a plant, well make peach sad so she CRIES PROFUSELY
This one looks less weird on the 'out of touch' sense; but still yeah, seems like kirby difficulty
