War Thunder Anti-Cheat System Update

Question; I was recently gifted a Wacom drawing tablet, and it requires a driver to function and allow the pen to work as mouse.

Would there be any possibility that this software or the pen, and/or having the tablet plugged in while I play, may cause a false positive?

I am still worried about the claims I read stating that legitimate software like this (some even mention the Corsair drivers, RGB software, etc) may lead to a permanent loss of an account.

EDIT: I also installed Microsoft PowerToys in order to be able to stick/pin a Google tab while I’m drawing, in order to to watch tutorials and references while I learn to draw… I wonder if this, too, may cause any false positives? God, it’s so stressful to worry about this. I don’t know if I just gave in to the fear mongering or if those shared concerns are legitimate, but I can’t help but to worry deeply about my account.

I would think its pretty unlikely as there is no reason to think that peripheral drivers are malicious, but if you are still worried you can run the game through a 2nd machine to avoid the kernel level detection.

I have a Huion tablet and so far so good, I got the BattlEye update today and nothing bad happened, as long as you get signed drivers from Wacom and not some dodgy third party website you should be good. And yes I have PowerToys too, all clear. I might even get a new computer to install software on, I am kinda paranoid about it too.

Hey guys, after accepting the EULA agreement roughly 3 weeks ago and checking that BE service was running correctly I got a popup again saying this:
Error message

Sorry if it’s in Italian, but can anyone tell me how can I fix this?

P.s. this is the BE services I was talking about before (which runs correctly):

LMAO this anticheat is a disaster.

My last game in december was a lobby full of friendly and enemy cheaters (rank II game).
I stopped playing for a month. Picked up WT today. Just finished a 6.7 game. There was a lvl53 player with 15 kills in RB dropping bombs with F8F from 2km with laser precision as well as sniping people with 20mm stealth belts from 1-2km away and finding hidden enemies. I have seen alot, but never seen players with arcade lead indicators in RB.

WT is dead to me.

My last game. First player on enemy team.

Yeah. He was 100% cheating. The bigger giveaway to me was how his crosshair was automatically adjusting for distance and lead.

When watching it from his pov, you could also see how often his crosshair was moving away from where his actual mouse was pointing.

Same. Only really come across bots which were a huge thing for a bit.

screen cap replay, post, profit.

I did. I posted replay link and screencapped him,

but...

Anyway, if you are curious, it’s my last game and the player in question is the one being first on enemy team. I have not played WT since.

So far, in ground RB it is proven to be completely useless.
Same cheater that i encountered 2 weeks ago while under EAC, is still playing (cheating) happily under BattleEye in Ground RB.
Nor he is banned, despite having been reported by 5 different people in a span of a day/week.

On the other hand, many other cheaters are being swiftly banned;

This one, for instance, was still playing this morning, and is already banned.

Oh! Well, as you can see, now he’s gone, so… :D

Utter rubbish the anit cheat gets by passed by “hack” site soon as new patch is done …so theres always cheaters …its just how much do Gaijin want to spend on stopping cheaters…They wont as they spend lots of money
Since battle eye …the cheating has got alot worse

I don’t know whether it’s better or worse, but I would say cheating has been rampant for some time indeed.

At least there are regular cheater cleanups, though!

Even then, my biggest concern is still unmoderated false positives, and this anti-cheat detecting a basic head tracking software (OpenTrack) as a malicious program it needs to block is a big red flag to me.

I hope it helps but the previous system seems unable to screen for people who see RB games like AB games. Am I correct in that we still don’t have dedicated code for RB?
