Xigncode3 is similar to many other anti-cheat software, including EasyAntiCheat and BattlEye. However, the software contains many additional checks that some argue invades privacy, including reading hard drive USN journals to monitor which files were created or accessed last.
The software has also been under scrutiny by software security analysts who have argued that its kernel mode driver xhunter1 is exploitable for privilege escalation.
The patch notes don't provide an answer to the question what system will replace the game's current anti-cheat measures.
