Anyone else struggling with the latest ACE updates in Delta Force? It looks like they have really tightened the screws on DMA setups.
The current situation is getting brutal. ACE is enforcing mandatory VTD/IOMMU activation, which effectively kills the DMA reading capability on PCIe lanes. If you try to bypass this or if your setup triggers a hardware check, you are looking at a hard perma ban. To make matters worse, they have pushed dynamic encryption at the software decryption level, which is causing constant instability for anyone trying to run a standard DMA build.
Tech-wise, ACE is proving to be much more aggressive than your typical AC. The behavioral and hardware telemetry they are pulling is top tier.
Current obstacles we are seeing:
I have seen some talk about custom firmware potentially mitigating the decryption issues, but honestly, the detection rate right now is extremely high for anyone on generic cards. If you are playing on your main, I would strongly advise against pushing any DMA hardware until someone figures out a solid workaround for the IOMMU requirement.
Has anyone managed to get a stable stream through the newer ACE checks without getting flagged? Are you guys using a custom Fuser or just dealing with the raw IOMMU lockout? Drop your experiences—curious if anyone has found a way to bridge this or if we are effectively back to internal-only for the time being.

Current obstacles we are seeing:
- VTD/IOMMU Enforcement: Mandatory bios-level settings that make stealth memory reading a nightmare.
- Dynamic Encryption: Breaks most of the existing DMA software bridges/overlays.
- Hardware Telemetry: High risk of instant HWID flags if your firmware isn't perfectly mapped.
