EA credits a batch of new detection vectors, aimed at cheating communities shifting their methods, for keeping the rate steady.

August's report closed at 3.24%, and the rate had settled at 3.51% by the start of September. EA says larger anticheat upgrades are being readied to ship with upcoming updates, and points back to its January update for how MIR shifts work.
