In our last brief, we discussed how we are blocking "external" hardware threats with DMA Shield. Today, we turn our attention inward. We are addressing the most persistent enemy in First Person Shooter: The Memory Cheats, which are malicious programs that attempt to inject themselves directly into your system's memory, modifying data to grant infinite ammo or wallhacks. To stop them, we cannot just rely on a patrol guard; we need to reinforce the walls of the base itself.

This December, ACE is deploying an effective perimeter defense: Secure Boot & TPM 2.0.

Here is how these upgrades serve as the bedrock of our anti-cheat arsenal.

ACE Intel: Security Switch On

Let's cut through the tech jargon.

Secure Boot is exactly what it sounds like: a "Safety Check" for your PC’s startup. It ensures that when you hit the power button, your computer only loads software that is trusted and signed by the manufacturer. It stops malicious "bootloaders"—cheats that try to wake up before Windows (and before ACE) does.

TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) is the vault key. It is a specialized security chip on your motherboard that stores cryptographic keys, proving that your system hasn't been tampered with.

Together, they are not just features; they are the foundation of a secure gaming environment.

ACE Mechanics: The Fortress Metaphor

To understand why this is meaningful to our arsenal, imagine your PC is a Fortress.

● Without Secure Boot: The fortress has high walls, but the back door is unlocked. Malicious intruders (Memory Cheats) can sneak in disguised as friendly staff before the guards even clock in for their shift. Once inside, they can roam freely, modifying game data.

● With Secure Boot: We are installing a steel-reinforced gate with a biometric detector.

When you launch Delta Force with these active, ACE effectively locks the fortress down. Secure Boot checks every process trying to enter the memory. If a program doesn't have a valid "ID Badge" (Digital Signature), it is blocked at the gate. The intruder is neutralized before they can even load their weapon.

Global Recon: The Industry Standard

We know that system changes can feel intimidating, but rest assured: We are following the industry standard.

In the modern gaming industry, specifically for First Person Shooters, "Kernel-level" protection is becoming the baseline. Major titles and operating systems like Windows 11 have already normalized these features.

Why? Because the industry has learned that software alone isn't enough. To truly secure a ranked match, you must trust the machine running it. By adopting this, Delta Force is joining the ranks of the most secure competitive titles in the world.

Mission Outcome: The Tough Safeguard

What does this upgrade deliver to you, the honest player?

1. A "Clean Room" Environment

By preventing unauthorized software processes from launching during startup, we drastically reduce the possibility of memory injection cheats. This means fewer aimbots and fewer wallhacks.

2. Fearless Gaming

This is our tough safeguard. It allows you to deploy into Tide Prison and Space City with the confidence that the playing field is level. You can focus on your tactics, your aim, and your squad—without the fear that a cheater is manipulating the game code against you.

3. Transparent Data Privacy (ACE Protocol)

We know privacy is paramount. We want to be crystal clear about how ACE handles this data:

● What we check: We verify only the status of two switches: "Is TPM 2.0 On?" and "Is Secure Boot On?"

● When we check: This verification happens only once when you enter the Game Lobby. We do not check your personal files.

● How we manage it: This status data is saved for one week strictly to help Player Support troubleshoot history queries. After that, it is automatically deleted.

Operators, the fortress is being built. With DMA Shield guarding the hardware and Secure Boot guarding the software, we are closing the net on cheaters.
