the best anti cheat that i have experience is vangaurd by riot games. I was running a python script in background for web crawling, left it on and guess what? my account got banned. the support says the vangaurd found a script running. i explained them patiently that it was a web crawling script , still no use.

How is that "best"? Seems pretty bad, if they dont reverse ban even after being informed of possible false positive.

Having anticheat ban everyone doesnt make it good. What makes anticheat good is it banning cheaters while leaving honest players not.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, they're being ironic...

It also sends screenshots of the websites you have open (if it wants to).

I'm not saying it is, I'm saying it could, because this is one of the most intrusive anti-cheats on the market. It can do and see basically anything on your computer.

lol I had something similar but instead of a crawler, I had WinDBG run a BSOD dump file and the game automatically closed. I forgot the game was running in the background while I trying to figure out what was crashing my system. It was a random network monitoring driver (after removing it) problem solved. But I ended up getting shadow banned. After 14 days. My account reverted back to normal. My guess, the game triggered a fail safe and closed to avoid any injection or step process read. But the fact that I was running a debugger to fix problems, it just tells me that some of these anti cheats are trash. It still puzzles me how they do not implement daily offset reset randomizer with encryption + decryption binded to the device. Anyone want to partner up and start an anti cheat service solution let me know. =)

Rainbow 6 siege has "individual" builds (they really have 8 different builds, each tied to 1/8 accounts).

Apparently it's not really effective at all.
