## Anti-Cheat and Antivirus software
|
|
|
|
Since this project uses direct manipulation of kernel memory via `inpoutx64.dll`
|
|
it might trigger Antivirus and Anti-Cheat software.
|
|
|
|
**READ IF PLAYING ONLINE GAMES AND/OR GAMES THAT HAVE ANTI-CHEAT ENABLED**
|
|
|
|
Since this project uses direct manipulation of kernel memory via `inpoutx64.dll`
|
|
it might trigger Antivirus and Anti-Cheat software. This could result in interference
|
|
or issues in games that use anti-cheat technology (including the possibility of a suspension or ban).
|
|
|
|
Application by default does not use any kernel-level features. If you request a change
|
|
that might trigger anti-cheat detection application does require to acknowledge this.
|
|
|
|
### Safe settings
|
|
|
|
If you play online games application needs to disable kernel-features.
|
|
**Those settings should be considered safe**:
|
|
|
|
- **Fan Control**: Use **Default** FAN
|
|
- **Performance Overlay**: OSD Kernel Drivers are **DISABLED**
|
|
|
|
### Features missing without Kernel Drivers
|
|
|
|
By disabling usage of Kernel Drivers you are loosing the:
|
|
|
|
- **Fan Control**: Optimised `SteamOS` FAN curve
|
|
- **Performance Overlay**: See CPU % and MHz, GPU MHz, APU W usage
|
|
- **Power Control**: Ability to change TDP, CPU and GPU frequency - you can change this safely before you start the game
|
|
- **Steam Controller**: There's no impact
|
|
|
|

|
