Without getting into any security pickles or causing problems for BattlEye, this software is intended to stop up to the minute attacks.

Let’s just call them TSRs, or “running applications.” BE checks for any current TSR, and any code that looks like common TSRs that are used for cheating. Or that have hooks into areas they shouldn’t. It also contemporaneously checks for any new modules, apps or executables that start to run after BE is executed for a particular game.

What it’s not built to do is check the code of the game itself. When you buy one of these hacks, they send you an entire compromised game. At least two of them do. The third refused to tell me what was in the box.

Actually I used DMCA on one of them, as it is in Illinois. Whoopsie for them.

The other two were in Singapore which has very very very tough rules on piracy. Which this clearly is, please see above. :wink:

@Cauthey you were right, one of them comes to about $800 because they make you subscribe “monthly” only by paying in advance. Whole new Steam ID and everything.
