If the ban is lifted, you're given only one more chance- if Cheat Engine is running in the background, even by accident- the next ban will be unrepealable and permanent.ĭon't get me wrong- I hate leechers and cheaters as much as the next person- but the current system punishes honest, long-standing players like myself too. You can appeal to support, but they take about a week or two to get back to you and may not often result in the ban being lifted, if at all. The current system results in a permaban in all aspects to Warframe- both the store, ingame account, and forum account. Even for things like mana- it should be possible to share its value across the connected clients for a game session and if a Warframe's energy or weapon's ammo is replenished outside of picking up energy bubbles or ammo cases, then trigger a ban. If nothing else- Digital Extremes has data for every mission going back years- instead of triggering bans based on what apps are running in the background, instead- should trigger bans if your loot strays too far from historic data AND the engine has detected Cheat Engine running in the background. I'm not a game developer so I'm not sure how feasible my proposed solution is- but bans should only part-take when injecting Cheat Engine into Warframe instead of detecting it running in the background or when a value is altered, not when the application is simply running in the background.

The above makes it clear that Warframe, atleast to my naive understanding of online games and Cheat Engine, is relatively immune to such "hacks" since everything- your platinum, credits, resources, customization, etc.

That said, having Cheat Engine running in the background triggers an account permaban within Warframe and is a bit too much when I either forgot to turn it off, accidentally launched it, or am using it to cheat in a game that I'm running alongside Warframe. It affects games like Faster Than Light, Civilization V, Arizona Sunshine, etc.- but not so much multiplayer games wherein values for money and XP are stored on a server.

TL DR- Cheat Engine running in the background should not trigger a permabanĬheat Engine is a memory alteration and game "hacking" software used extensively for speedrunning and value (money, mana, etc.) alteration in single player games.
