XIGNCODE DISCUSSION!
This discussion has been closed.

It's fine to update so long as you're not concerned by an invasion of privacy or potential security risk.
Many are complaining about a drop in performance and serious technical issues, but there is no current evidence of malicious behaviour.
Everything is installed into the TERA\Client\Binaries\XIGNCODE and nothing is installed into Windows.
The anti-cheat process is only active while the client is active which I have personally verified.
The issue is mostly whether you're comfortable with having this on your computer.
It probably won't harm you or your computer, but it's a step in the wrong direction in terms of privacy.
Seems to be the case. I tried it last night and experienced no slowdowns or issues. CPU usage appears the same when monitored using MSI Afterburner in game. Didn't even complain about my SweetFX or Xpadder so they must be "white-listed". The driver doesn't appear as xhunter1.sys for me, it's listed as "xxd-0.xem in Task Manager and uses about 1400K RAM so pretty minimal.
Still not liking it though since I have no idea what it's scanning and what information it's collecting. Plus the pop-up that appears in the task bar when you launch the game looks shady as hell; just very unprofessional looking.
point me 4 positive/pros points about it,i dare you
and why it should stay
lets see if cons and pros balance out
if there are none then why bother having it in first place
P.s. With love, against this soft.
I see nothing positive about forcing this rootkit on the player base.
to make us see "their" view
if they are so keen on defending it then show us why
One strange thing i noticed reading the hundreds of posts is two people aggressively defending this, and only two people. Equitas and
ElinUsagi. I'm not sure if they are the same person or people who work for EME. But if i had to guess they are different people since Equitas isn't a fanatic like the other person in defending it and has not as much blindly defended this malware rootkit. Just odd theres literally 2 people who love XIGNCODE being installed and scanning their files, while 99% of the other people don't want it anywhere near their systems.
Just strange if these people aren't EME employees or friends of employees because i have no idea why anyone would offer so much of their free time to help defend bad business practices of a company. If ElinUsagi isn't being paid to lobby for this malware, they should be, i've never seen such blind dedication and misdirection.
You guys realize there was a bypass literally before this thing was even applied to the launcher right? And from what i read in the discord even the proxy injection works as do every single illegal mod that worked before this rootkit was introduced. Not sure how many people are on hold or quit the game completely but in my wide view of it, seems not worth it unless they somehow are profiting from the data they are mining with this "anticheat" thing.
Just a sidenote, i played the game since its launch and have spend around 1000-1500 dollars through 3 active accounts i use. So i'm not a freeloader and it does hurt me to witness the death of TERA. This game has suffered permanent damage and been lead down a bad path from it poor leadership at Bluehole. No doubt Bluehole to blame since i've seen how poorly they run Pubg and how much they panic when Fortnite took over.
That is why I'm thinking of moving to TERA EU. Demanding that players let their systems get owned may work in Korea. Luckily, it seems to not work so well in the west. Still giving EME a bit more time to at least make an official statement about this, though. At any rate, in the least, I'll be more wary about trusting EME after this rootkit debacle.
Most are quoting EU as being illegal, though it isn't exactly illegal, but it is due to the most recent law changes in EU slowing down their process of adding it.
As for RU, I would wait to see if their next 'update' includes it.
but black desert and blade and soul euro use xingcode
This is NOT dealing with ANY cheater. Because,Proxy, meters and Cheat Engine are stil working as ever.
The only noticeable thing is the fps drops.
