Does the Sentry Anti-Cheat now close when closing the game?

[Astroknight]

In the beta you had to manually close it in the task manager, is it changed now?

[DaveKap]

I'm also curious about this.

Bump

[DaveKap]

The answer is yes, it closes! That's great! Thanks!

From what I have noticed it does indeed close, the tray-icon vanishes and there are not processes left through task manager.

[Vandy43]

Closes for me as well. I guess other people were getting unlucky.

[Nahmy]

auto closes for me (if the game properly closed).

[ItsNotMe_ItsYou92]

Mine closes. I just started playing today. Been seeing people call it a virus because it stays on after the game closes and starts upon start up. I havnt had that issue, i didnt see it in startup as an option either. It hasnt been flagged on my system either.

It closes upon closing the game and does not boot with Windows anymore, I think the devs confirmed that was patched.
Not sure why they wouldn't just swap to the unreal anti cheat but its up to them... Currently the anti cheat software does not cause any obvious issues.

what about the files there are sending to Japan, is that also patched?

[jey123456]

you mean where it send checksum of your game file to the anti-cheat server to check if you have local modifications ? I did have a look at the traffic, the only files read by the anticheat were the dll's currently in memory, the process table, files in the anticheat folder and files in the game folder.

You can easily check for it yourself by running it in a vm with the vm identifier removed (not sure if that part is needed, but usually anticheat check for vm graphic driver or registry entry added by the vm utility tools so just google "hide virtual machine from a program" and set of instructions will be there. From there, just monitor the disk activity on the vm using a management tool and youll see all that the evil anticheat is accessing.

The network stream itself is encrypted but there wasnt enough data sent to include a copy of my ssd, that much im 100% confident in, hell even a copy of my ram is out of the possibilities.

As a free bonus, if they really aimed to be nefarious, Japan would be the last place to use as a base of operation, now if it sent data to china or russia id worry a tiny bit more as us law are much harder to apply in those cases. but Japan ? Would just be a stupid idea
