anti-cheat
Gaming integrity software
Anti-cheat refers to software or systems designed to detect and prevent cheating in video games, particularly in competitive online multiplayer environments.
These tools monitor for unauthorized modifications, aiming bots, wallhacks, and other exploits that give players unfair advantages.
Major anti-cheat programs like EasyAntiCheat and BattlEye run in the background during gameplay, sometimes controversially requiring kernel-level access.
The game's anti-cheat flagged his account for suspicious behavior.
Players may complain when anti-cheat measures create performance issues or false positives.
