Akros Anti-cheat Update (2.33.48.349_LIVE)

Changes

• Bug fixes
• General anti-cheating improvements
• IOMMU requirement warning added

If you receive the message below, it is a warning that you have IOMMU disabled in your BIOS. In the near future, Akros will require that you have IOMMU enabled to play.

@InCircleEsports MajorK has been permanently banned from Akros-protected events and platforms after a review found verifiable technical proof of cheating.

[Akros Anti-cheat @AkrosAC]

That's how it currently works. However, we're moving toward enforcing IOMMU for all players in Counter-Strike 2, given its highly competitive eSports environment and the fact that the ecosystem has already largely adopted these requirements through FACEIT.

Akros allows system security requirements to be configured by game studios and game developers as they see fit. Nintendo could choose not to require IOMMU for Animal Crossing. 😅

@dyh1s Feel free to send your resume to our CTO. Email is [email protected]

@frantz_willian Yes, both Windows 11 and Windows 10 machines will receive this warning. When enforcement goes active, it will be required regardless of Windows version.

[Akros Anti-cheat @AkrosAC]

@TetoGorda A patch released today to address this. If Akros still says you're not enrolled in ESU when you're certain that you are, open a support ticket.

Nos complace anunciar que, desde las 21hs, Akros Anti-cheat será OBLIGATORIO y GRATUITO para todas las partidas en la plataforma.

Akros Anti-Cheat, es un servicio de terceros pago, el cual no está programado por nosotros. Utilizado en torneos de elite como la BLAST Premier, entre otros. No es un servicio para nada barato, por suerte pudimos llegar a un acuerdo que nos permite afrontar el costo del servicio.

Por otro lado, de momento, las suscripciones VIP/Premium no se verán afectadas. Sin embargo, no descartamos la posibilidad de realizar un leve aumento en ambas suscripciones para cubrir una parte mayor de los gastos del anti-cheat, que, como ya explicamos anteriormente, son muy elevados.

@r6wr_ @InCircleEsports Just answering your question. The event was played on FASTCUP, which uses GameGuard.

[Akros Anti-cheat @AkrosAC]

@r6wr_ @InCircleEsports We can’t work with Russian organizations due to the legal hurdles from US sanctions.

Akros Anti-cheat Update (2.32.48.328_LIVE)

Changes

• Improved enforcement of DMA remapping against inactive/unused network adapters
• Hardened client-server communication against tampering

[Akros Anti-cheat @AkrosAC]

We reviewed both teams from this match. Before sharing our findings, we would like to provide some important context:

1.) EXORT has been using Tournament Mode since August 13. Tournament Mode requires Windows 11 version 24H2 or later, Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, VBS, HVCI, and IOMMU to be enforced for all players.
2.) When IOMMU is enabled, Akros uses DMA remapping to prevent hardware-based cheats from functioning.

We began our review by verifying that all PCI devices on each machine that should have been subject to DMA remapping were, in fact, remapped. We can confirm that no player had a PCI device that should have been DMA remapped but was not. As a result, DMA hardware was not an exploitable vector in this match.

We then reviewed executable code that ran during the Windows boot process, after Windows had started, and while the match was actively being played. No evidence of suspicious user-mode or kernel-mode software was identified.

Finally, we reviewed the executable applications launched on each machine since the respective Windows installations. No evidence of cheating software, whether user-mode or kernel-mode, was identified within the forensic intelligence collected by the Akros client.

Based on the totality of the forensic evidence available to us, we can state with an extremely high degree of confidence that neither team used unauthorized tools or software during this match.

If you're ever genuinely concerned that players are cheating in an Akros protected event, please contact the organizer to report your concerns or you can report your concerns to us directly at https://t.co/x3icQzewNX. We review every single case brought to our attention without exception.
