Anti-Cheat, Mods, Linux, and Steam Deck

[p]Hello, racers![/p][p]We see your questions and concerns about the addition of Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) to the game. We understand that changes can be worrying, especially for mod enthusiasts and Linux/Steam Deck players. Let’s go over the key points together.[/p][p]Why did we need EAC?[/p]

[p]Cheating prevention [/p][p]We are working on new competitive modes. Unfortunately, cheaters (e.g., those using "infinite nitro") ruin the experience for fair players and prevent you from fully enjoying new features.[/p]
[p]Your feedback[/p][p]We constantly receive reports about cheaters—both in ranked races and regular lobbies.[/p]
[p]Why EAC? [/p][p]We chose EAC as one of the least intrusive options among popular anti-cheat solutions. EAC does not block ReShade and does not interfere with car appearance mods.[/p]

[p]Why did mods stop working?[/p]

[p]Data system update[/p][p]Issues with car appearance mods are not caused by EAC but by our internal data storage system update. We made this change so that after version 1.7.0, modders would need to update their mods less frequently with our releases.[/p]
[p]ReShade[/p][p]Currently, ReShade works, but crashes may occur. Keep in mind that ReShade is a third-party tool, and we cannot guarantee its stability. However, our team is already investigating these crashes to improve compatibility where possible.[/p]

[p]Why were there issues with Linux and Steam Deck?[/p]

[p]Linux[/p][p]Initially, CarX Street was not positioned as a game with Linux or third-party emulator support. However, given your interest, we have already started adapting the game for Linux systems.[/p]
[p]Steam Deck[/p][p]Partial Deck support, which existed before version 1.7.0, was restored in patch 1.7.1. We are aware of complaints about unstable performance and are actively working on optimizing the game for Steam Deck. Note that full official Deck support was never previously announced, but we are striving to achieve it.[/p]

[p]Will EAC be removed from the game?
No, EAC will remain. It is necessary to protect fair play and the future development of multiplayer. We believe this is an important step toward creating a fair and enjoyable environment for all players.[/p][p]Thank you for your understanding and patience! We will continue listening to your feedback and working to improve CarX Street.[/p][p]
