I think for "cheat software" the games Anti-cheat is looking for anything capable of reading/writing to memory addresses while the game is active, that, or anything capable of reading/writing/ or injecting information into the data being sent back and forth from the server.

So basically a lot of non cheating apps may fall into that category, you would just have to figure out if you have anything like that on your system.

Received same warning today as well, and all I ever do is log in on weekly basis just to do Forzathon.
Apps a I had running at the time were Chrome, Discord, Steam and Task manager nothing else beside whatever other Windows bloatware there might be.

Hmm..only thing I think it might be, is discord (especially if running a server) people have mentioned it with other games having it kick off the anti-theft systems....so maybe that's it? long shot I know.

If it was this it would be looking for programs that can read / write memory outside of their own address space. It matters little if process A can read / write within its own memory address space because this is how well-behaved programs act.

Well yes, you are correct. I assumed it would be understood as we were discussing cheat software and that's how they all work, either changing the info in a games address range, or by intercepting data or info and replacing it.

Regardless, anything like Cheat-Engine, or WeMod, or even an open hex editor that is currently reading an address space that the game might use, will trigger the anti-cheat software.

Hmm, I just got this aswell, I havn't played in awhile and did that new dount crap, I hate that they force that on ya, but whatever.

I use 2 overlays, Shadowplay, and MSI Afterburner, But I've used them for years, I never use the Discord Overlay. Not sure. If they ban me im not gonna car much, but I wish they gave you more info.

Hmmm...I don't have Shadowplay, I use an AMD card, but I am gonna try its overlay for stats and stuff, and see what happens...

I also have used Afterburner a lot, for testing games and such...I wonder if the game is starting to implement what a lot of other online games do (CS:GO comes to mind) that won't let you play with performance or recording overlays on.

just some random thoughts while I try and think about this...


Update: Just thought of this....where is the message coming to? email, here on steam, in game? and where is it coming from? like the senders email, or whoever. Is it the same for everyone?

I got it in game, part of the messages thing where you get wheel spins and updates about patches and stuff.

I also don't own the game threw steam, I got it the ms store

Thanks for the info.

*sigh* Well, at least they didn't jump straight to the ban hammer for a likely misdetection like this.

i dunno if its just me but it seems FH5 servers are down so it might be a false positive they are trying to fix
