This week, publisher Activision dropped a blog post over on the official Call of Duty website detailing the updates made to their internal anti-cheat software “RICOCHET” for the upcoming ‘Black Ops 7‘ and its beta. This updated anti-cheat sets up new requirements for PC users in particular, and the company has also worked with PC component makers to help players get those required features turned on.
Notably, the blog post covers these topics:
- PC Requirement: TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are required to play the Black Ops 7 Beta on PC.
- Support Made Easy: Guides are live to help enable TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, including BIOS updates for the top 10 motherboard makers used by Call of Duty players.
- Systems Online During Beta: Dynamically deploying and adjusting our systems over the course of the Beta, both to learn what “good” looks like in Black Ops 7 and to avoid giving cheat developers a head start on circumventing systems.
- Machine Learning Upgrade Preview: A full year of Black Ops 6 gameplay powers one of the strongest detection systems we have ever developed, trained to spot suspicious behavior with greater accuracy.
Have a gander at the full blog post right over thisaway. Black Ops 7 will see its beta start on 2 October for Early Access holders and 5 October for everyone else—more details can be found over here.
