People who run cloud DMA, what made you pick it over software

genuine question, not looking for a sales pitch. software is cheaper and installs in five minutes so why pay for the hosted route.

for me it was getting banned twice in a season and not wanting to do the rebuild again. curious if others are the same or if there's something else to it.

same reason as you basically. nothing runs on the game machine so there's nothing for anti cheat to find on it. that's the entire appeal.

latency was my worry and honestly it's a non issue for tarkov, it's not a twitch shooter. if it was CS i'd think harder about it.

cost is the real barrier. it's a subscription with hardware behind it, it's not a five dollar experiment.

you also need the card in the machine which is a whole thing if you've never opened a case

the card part is genuinely the worst bit. everything else is fine.

what happens when the game patches, does the whole thing break

the card side doesn't break from a patch, it's reading memory not hooking the game. the cheat side still needs updating like anything else.

"like anything else" is doing a lot of work there. hardware is not magic, it still gets caught eventually

no argument, it's not immunity. it's a smaller surface, not a zero one.

so it's basically paying to stop rebuilding the PC after every ban. that's what i thought.

yeah. and if that's not a problem you've got, software is the sensible pick — the cloud vs software guide spells out the tradeoffs without the sales pitch.
