Does anyone even know if there is any anti cheat in DE?
Voobly does have some fairly sophisticated anti cheat for a 20 year old game, but I would honestly be surprised if DE has any.
Officially or just some ppl saying so?And as a side-note, AoE2:DE can be played on Windows 7 and 8.1 as well.
From the very little tests I made, I didn't notice any anti cheat... it's quite worrying if I'm being honest.AOE2 DE is supposedly using Relic Link anti-cheat.

If this is the case then it needs to be brought to wider attention ASAP... we don't want to end up in a situation where cheats go under the radar for months without anybody being aware.From the very little tests I made, I didn't notice any anti cheat... it's quite worrying if I'm being honest.
Would even Microsoft help tournament hosts identify if someone is sharing accounts? How about name changes? Practically on DE now you can change your Steam name and there's no way to know it's not the original player, right? You just legitimately cannot know who is playing on the accounts in the NAC qualifier now.
It seems they're not even word-filtering user names (you can have your opinion on that, but it shows there's no real moderation).
But they have nowhere to report or any moderation so...Oh, they filter it I guess:

would be nice not only voting for someone else, but als NOT voting for him while you have the option rightSad no terror in the list....

HD had many lobby titles with racial slurs in it and the exact same can happen in DE. The total lack of moderation features is pretty baffling to me...
Changing name wouldn't do as I have the players on my friends list, and presumably the players have added each other to invite to games and what not.
Playing on others accounts is a different issue though.

Well sure, there are a few ways to try and mitigate that, you see username history on Steam accounts (unless they're private), etc., but is it now then going to be a requirement to have everyone in friends and check around Steam and take screenshots if you want to host or play in a tournament? Imagine bigger tournaments where you cannot have admin in every game. I have a few thoughts how people could try to be creative when they have motivation which I will not post to not lead people on, point is in-game it's very sketchy to allow free nickname changes.
No arguments from me 11
Just pointing out that the specific example of NAC name changing is not a worry.
Analytics are sent to ms every second and on every action you do in the game. Some of your unique identifying info is sent.Who has access to IPs when playing on Steam? Is this something the DE team would have access to? There was the issue recently of an AoE3 player playing on another account, seems the easiest way to do it, hey, here is my username and pass, no need for any name change shenanigans.
It turns out to go slower than expected. Probably because there are too few players. Players like TaToH, Hera and vivi go up and down between 19++ and 17++ within a few days and the top 20 has still 2 16++.
It almost looks like they all are waiting onTheViperbuddy.
If it was Voobly. But as far as I know it is very hard to avoid opponents on DE. On Voobly you can choose your opponents. But currently there is no easy way to reach the top without playing the top guys. Which is one of the few things that is better about the laddder.not to brag but after i came home for xmas i have 100% winrate
