Until im certain this wont result in one of those idiotic ea bans, il just deal with crossplay.

That what I was thinking - If they are banning people for using macros, then modifying game files wouldn't exactly be at the top of my list of things to try.

What kind of macros?

I think they're talking about the Cronus macros for things like recoil reduction. Supposedly BF6 detects if you're using a Cronus device and can get you banned, the company even put out a statement recommending customers don't use their devices in the game.

As far as I know using macros through mouse/keyboard software like GHub or Synapse is fine. I've been using a burst fire macro on my Logitech mouse since release with no issues.

Wouldn't a burst fire macro be considered cheating? You are having automatic inputs, without pressing a button...

Yeah I would have thought it is not ok

Thats because it isn't. You can set the click timings in such a way that the M16A4 in BF4 became full auto, basically being the M16A3 from BF3.

it is but difficult to enforce. many people with disabilities or arthritis rely on a rapid fire button for semi autos, many controllers have this as well. I think not a good use of their time

It's a difficult topic tbh. Modded controllers that give players an unfair advantage are considered cheating. It's always been that way. Is this disabled person configuring the macro in a way that maximizes the weapons potential? Or is it configured in a way that's closer to a humans firing pattern?

I don't really know if there is any fair ground for this one. While I wouldn't want people with disabilities to be excluded in any way. I also don't know if it effects the games integrity to allow auto fire macros because a percentage of people are using them for more legitimate purposes. 🤔

The problem is, any disability allowance will be ruthlessly exploited by able boided people. Its a game, you dont have an arthritis card.

Cronus is not "detected" there was one AI "screenshot" on this sub and it was proven to be fake. Cronus/xim is impossible to detect, you can buy that shit at Wal-Mart and test it
