The creators of Arc Raiders continue their fight against cheaters. Recently, they decided to tighten the rules, which will create additional problems for those who like to use third-party software to gain an advantage.
The Steam Family Sharing loophole will no longer work, where the host user shared the game to other accounts for cheating — now the punishment extends to the entire "family".
Arc Raiders restrictions (bans) will work as follows:
- If any Steam Family Sharing account receives a ban while using a shared Arc Raiders license, then all accounts in that "family" will receive a restriction.
- If the license (game) owner receives a ban, they will lose the ability to share Arc Raiders via Steam Family Sharing — after that, "any player gaining access to the game through family sharing will have to leave that family group and purchase their own copy to continue playing."
- The restrictions have the same duration and type for all accounts connected to one family.
