Anyone else getting `cheat software was detected` after the update?

[Markez]

It was fine before update but now it does not let me in.
Obv not a cheater nor rewasd loser.

Codecs are for video files and audio files that windows does not natively support. IF you want to watch an MKV file you will need a codec. If you wish to listen to an ogg file you will need a codec, usually installed with a third party music software.

Thanks to this thread I went through and killed processes one by one.
"Rainmeter" triggered the anti-cheat for me, disabling that allowed the game to launch

I bypassed it by killing autohotkey

[InnCognito]

cheaters go QQ cause they got Pew Pew'd. ^_^. seriously. just stop cheating.

[ᗯᖇЄƬCH]

I had it triggered too.
Disabling autohotkey fixed it for me.

[Kitsuné]

It's mainly autohotkey, stop the scripts you are running, and you can launch the game normally.

However it's annoying for me because I use some F keys for setting the audio volume that I use aaaall the time and this prevents me from using them ¬¬

[Mave]

Can confirm killing autohotkey fixes it.. now I'm afraid to keep hitting Win+D for dumb Windows virtual desktop related nonsense

LMAO to everyone running AHK scripts, just stop cheating or using No-Recoil scripts. You don't need to explain what you use it for it's plainly obvious.

[MECHANIC]

-Uninstall and reinstall (basic fix)

-Try to disable ''run as administrator'' on every .exe program including EasyAntiCheat and the main Discovery.exe of the game.

-Try to delete EasyAntiCheat folder and run the game (Discovery.exe) the game should search for the missing folders and install it on its own or you can do it yourself by deleting it and reinstall it on the steam by checking for folder integrity.

-Turn off Nvidia GAMESTREAM/Shield . This is considered as second party program AKA cheating.

My script:

F9::Send {Volume_Mute}
F10::Send {Volume_Down}
F11::Send {Volume_Up}

Very dangerous script as you can see. Some say it's even possible that it killed JF Kennedy.

Seriously, this anticheats are known for being garbage, if they are not going to catch cheaters anyway, let us legit players in peace.

My problem was AutoHotKey too, I was using it with PowerToys Run to have it appear instead of start menu when I press WIN key... whatever

[Cipriano]

doing this solved the issue but now a new one has started: Fatal error - failed to install easyAntiCheat. anyone has this problem ?

[Wheyfo]

I do not have any codecs, scripts or w/e and I still get the message, reinstalling did not work for me...

[EMJzero]

Same issue, and I cannot manage to fix it no matter what I do...

Yup, same here. Game don't like AHK.
