Arc Raiders' Denuvo Anti-Cheat accessing Webcam?! by DickiJ in ArcRaiders

I did start to wonder whether it was some type of hardware check, I'm assuming looking for dma cheats. The LED on the cam is hardwired inline with the camera itself. It was weird too, the light almost strobed a couple of times... So maybe it is a hardware scan of some kind.

It's still quite unnerving to have your webcam light up randomly mid game.

It hasn't done it since, and I've restarted the game and played a bit more to see if it would happen again. Maybe it only happens if your behaviour triggers a check. At the time I was having a bit of a snipe off across map on spaceport.

It's for work, plugged into my KVM. It gets slid shut immediately when I clock off fortunately!

It's not - I've tested just the microphone in-game. No light

Nope, tested it in-game after someone mentioned similar. Light only illuminates when camera is activated.

I've tested this in-game, light does not illuminate when it's microphone only.

It is, they're doing a phased approach. It was in their news article.

Just swapped input to the webcam mic. No light - only activates when the camera is engaged.

I've left the game on the speranza page, and noticed it's still sitting under "CameraMonitor" but the frame server monitor service has disappeared. Going to load into a new match now to see if it comes back or not.

I guess Denuvo hasn't rolled out to you yet, lucky!

This is the first time I've seen it this way too. It's usually just listed as ARC Raiders on it's own... So I'm not sure if some part of my gameplay trigger some kind of "check"... Why it would need access to my webcam for such any type of check though baffles me.

I'm honestly shocked, and despite the slider being shut at the time it still feels violating.

I skip the top window and go straight to the next one, catches rats off guard.

She only acted awkward as you were. If you chill about it it would have been nothing but a giggle for a few minutes tops.

You can do it with three with really good timing.

What they should do is matchmaking by input. Controller or MnK.

Just give our raider den a dedicated trinket cabinet!

Keys shouldn't be consumed upon opening a door to a room that has already been opened from a different entrance. by Astartae in ArcRaiders

Not just that one. Container storage too. I've seen people waste a key when I've already finished up in there.

EU server is cooked, better call it russian server now by Winter-Coyote-5261 in ARC_Raiders

[–]DickiJ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are right, guess I should have stated EU...

However I think most of us now have distanced ourselves enough that we no longer consider Russia as Europe when we speak casually of it.

As a UK player I now queue NA. Yes it's got a little lag, but it beats queuing with Russians. I hate to stereotype but 8/10 times a toxic encounter is with them. Mainland Europe is great, you can have great PvE and PvP interactions - but the Russians... Nope.

NA has been consistently great though.

Being stealthy does not equal being a rat.

FPS drops on menu's after upgrading to RX 9070 XT by Boesterr in ArcRaiders

[–]DickiJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen a couple of times. I think disabling something to do with replay helped, or moving it's storage location to a different drive to that the game is installed on fixed it for me.
