Update #5500 - Working with EAC games, FPS limiter hotkey
Hi. We're here with some good news for you!
The most interesting aspect of this update is that FPS Monitor can once again work with games that use Easy Anti-Cheat. We have prepared a special workaround that allows us to inject our DLL, signed with an old digital certificate that is whitelisted by EAC.
Now the issue is resolved for Rust, Fortnite, War Thunder, Apex Legends, Hunt: Showdown 1896, THE FINALS, ELDEN RING, Throne and Liberty, Dead by Daylight, and other EAC-based games.
Reminder: We updated our digital code signing certificate in February, and it should be whitelisted by Easy Anti-Cheat for our program to work with their games. Unfortunately, after their transition to EPIC, we lost all contacts with their employees and have been unable to reach anyone :(
Is it dangerous? Not at all. FPS Monitor simply operates as the old whitelisted version when encountering any EAC-based games, there are no harmful or unsafe «hacks».
The only downside is that the old version (within the new one) does not support the new feature (OLED) described below. Therefore, you won’t see it in EAC games.
[h3]So, other changes:[/h3]

[h3]So, other changes:[/h3]
- Added global overlay offset. Check the Settings menu. This feature is useful if you're concerned about the safety of your OLED display. It adds a random offset to all overlays displayed in games or on the desktop. You can specify a range for this offset and the delay before the next change.
- A hotkey for toggling the FPS limit has been added. Finally! =]
- New hardware has been added to the supported list.
