Valve has announced that the Epic Games anti-cheat software "Easy Anti-Cheat" (EAC) has become easier to operate on the portable game PC "Steam Deck".It is said that Steam Deck support for existing EAC games can be easily added without updating with new services, SDK version, or game binary updates.
EAC is a kind of software for detecting and cracking down the so -called cheats during online game play.In addition to EPIC's "Fort Knight", it is used in multiplayer games such as "APEX LEGENDS", "DEAD BY Daylight", and "Gears 5", so you cannot start these games without installing EACs.
In other words, the fact that Steam Deck support can be "easily added" to games that use EAC mean that the range of game libraries that can be played has expanded.
Prior to this, Valve also integrates the fraudulent prevention program "Battleeye" into Proton (compatible layers that allow Windows games to be run on Linux) so that developers can be enabled simply by contacting Battleeye.。
With the addition of this announcement, Valve states that "this means that the two major anti -cheat services are easily supported by Proton and Steam Deck."Regardless of EAC or Battleeye, some games have announced their response from an early stage, but other games have become easier to support Steam Deck.
Originally, the shipment of Steam Deck was scheduled for the end of 2021, but it was postponed in February 2022 because the parts did not reach the factory, but those who have obtained quickly can enjoy many favorite games immediately.It seems to be.
Nevertheless, the initial sales are only for the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and some Europeans, and are expected to be shipped in February in February in other areas, including Japan.
Although it is finally easier to support the two major anti -cheat software on Steam Deck, it is another matter whether the individual game title works.For this, Valve has started a verification program, with four statuses for each game: "Verified (verified)", "Playable (playable)", "UNSUPPORTED", and "Unknown (unknown)".You can check it.
By the way, the PC version "God of War", which was just released the other day, released a photo that is running on "Steam Deck" by Shuhei Yoshida, the Sony Interactive Entertainment Indie Initiative Representative."Is exposed to the excitement.
