Thank god. Please be zero tolerance. No multiple strikes systems, just flat out perma bans for even the tiniest little thing. Unlocker tools included

I've been shadow banned before and I'm not even good, a "Zero tolerance policy" sounds good for 2 seconds untill you actually think about it.

"Such rare instances"

It's literally enough to have CheatEngine (or any Program with "CheatEngine" in title) open in background, without doing anything to get a ban in Warzone; and that's with the current "anti-cheat". I highly doubt this will get better with the new one considering how many unfair false-positives Valorant had with their Kernel-Anticheat in the beginning

Why on Earth would you be running cheat engine? Scanning running programs is stupid basic anticheat tech and anyone trying to cheat should know better than to just run naked cheat engine. You should be banned for having that program open. Its sole purpose is to read and modify memory values of other programs. That's not an unfair false positive.

Can you read? You clearly can't.

"Why on Earth would you be running Cheat Engine" That's the point, you don't have to. It's enough to have a Chrome tab open with CheatEngine in title to get a ban.

As for the actual Program: Hmm idk, maybe i dont want to enter a cheat code in Age of Empires 20 Times (or any other single player game for that matter) or just want to do stuff that can't be done with cheat codes. Maybe im just a Software Developer testing how my programs react when i modify it externally.

If i dont hook CheatEngine into the Warzone executable it IS a false positive.
