How does the Anti - Cheat system work

[Hellstorm901]

I am interested in playing this game as I keep getting it recommended to me by friends but I keep hearing about the Anti - Cheat system functioning much differently to something like VAC, Battleye, EAC etc

I use WeMod for some JRPG games because WeMod is dedicated to Singleplayer so most Anti - Cheat systems co exist with it but I have and would be annoyed if this Anti - Cheat system automatically bans users just for having it on my PC making me waste my money on a game which would then not run

So does the Anti - Cheat software in this game ban players who are cheating or just for having any software on their PC because if the former then sign me up for Freedom but if the latter then I'd rather just give money to charity if I'm spending money to get nothing in return

It wont ban you, it will just shut your game down.

Only if its running or if it's even on your harddrive?

Context to what you mean?

Helldivers currently needs nProtect Gameguard to run, if game guard is not running, helldivers will not run.

I mean if I have WeMod on my PC even if it's not running will this NProtect thing stop the game running or does the NProtect only activate if someone is actually hacking in the game itself

This is the deal breaker for me as I cannot buy a game which is going to ban me the moment I fire it up simply because the Anti-Cheat scans my PC and detects WeMod even if it's not running

I have WeMod and CheatEngine for singleplayer games, I am playing without any issues.

Thanks, that was my main concern with this so I'll go ahead and buy it

From the post made by Oakatusz (which if you havent i recommend you reading) and what has happened with the game from other posts about cheaters, gameguard only seems to be keeping players from getting currency since players have reported getting lots of samples ar the end of missions or someone with infinite ammo. Just pay attention at posts here and on discord (if its available) and no one talks about getting currency with cheats.

So what i can say by my observaciones is that gameguard only protects MTX. Why? Because money

That's fine. I use WeMods for Single player JRPG's and do AI Art stuff on my PC so last thing I wanted was to buy a game then some Anti - Cheat acting in some different way to VAC or EAC then seeing WeMod or the AI server software then saying "Nope you're banned" seconds into firing the game up

Its not letting me join any lobbies, is that how it “bans” people? Someone said it just shut down your game, but it doesn’t shut down for me, and I don’t know if I’ve been banned?

No, that's an existing bug, I've seen lots of people with it. You just have to keep spamming join until it lets you in
