Authenticating Your Dedicated Server with Easy Anti-Cheat

To ensure a secure and fair gaming environment, Easy Anti Cheat (EAC) is integrated into our game. To authenticate your dedicated server with Easy Anti Cheat, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Create a Batch File

1. Open Notepad or any text editor of your choice.
2. Copy and paste the following command into the text editor:

BloodboundServer.exe -7777 -server -log -AUTH_TYPE=deviceid -AUTH_LOGIN=test -AUTH_TOKEN=test

3. Save the file with a .bat extension. For example, you can name it AuthenticateServer.bat.

Step 2: Open Port 7777

Ensure that port 7777, the default Unreal Engine 4 port, is open on your server. This is necessary for proper communication between the dedicated server and Easy Anti Cheat.

Step 3: Read the Readme File

In the directory of your dedicated server, locate and read the Readme file for additional information. The Readme file contains specific details about server setup, configuration, and any additional steps required for successful authentication.

By following these steps, you’ll ensure that your dedicated server is properly authenticated with Easy Anti Cheat, providing a secure and fair gaming experience for all players.

For any further assistance or troubleshooting, refer to the official documentation or contact our support team.

Additional Information:

• Leaderboards:
  • Leaderboard tracking occurs when an actual player kills you or when you eliminate an actual player in any game mode.
