War Thunder Anti-Cheat System Update

OK, guys, that’s enough.
If you want to brag about who’s older, take it to PM.

Yes, I do. I take my valuable time and watch the replay, record the times when its certain the player is offending, and report that player. If anything happens after that I have no idea. Going back to the old forum there was a time when there was a list of banned players published. I don’t think that happens anymore, nor do I get any feedback on my reports.

[Fair Play] Fair Play: May 2025

[image] The fight against cheaters continues tirelessly, and today we’re ready to provide you with a list of rule breakers who have been banned over the past month. Thank you very much for your active participation in identifying rule breakers and submitting reports! You can use the battle replay function on our website to report players who you suspect have violated the game’s Terms of Service and the License Agreement. Instructions on how to do this can be found here. Banned accounts Si…

The problem is that reporting offenders can take all of your time.

[Josephs_Piano]

Depends how paranoid you are I guess - tbh I’m never seen anything I suspect of being cheating

[_RACERX]

But as you posted, there’s an active list of banned players so… Next time someone seems to know where you are when they shouldn’t, watch the replay from their view and if you were unmarked and unscouted when they ran up to your location and shot you then you will know.

Hey, Gaijin, can you stop breaking VR with battle eye updates for five seconds?

[Renamed593]

I got banned because i installed ReShade and bought a lot of premium vehicles apparently and here’s my reward from Gaijin for giving my own money to them. Amazing anticheat! You guys don’t even make sure that someone is actually cheating and rely only on a system instead of a human review. It can make mistakes do you know?

[Josephs_Piano]

It is not “approved software”, and it can change ingame skins, and it’s been known that it can cause anti-cheat problems for at least a couple of years… so perhaps you should do a bit more research next time?

War Thunder specific rules from Gaijin:

6.1.3. Installation or usage of unauthorized modifications to the Game client, using cheats or other software or devices that modify a Game process and/or original images produced by the Game (including the modification of a Game interface) to obtain an advantage in a Game without explicit authorization from Gaijin.

Is it allowed to use ReShade in the game?

The game has poorly made post effects settings, can I use reshade, will I get banned for using it?

Question about ReShade and EAC

I want to use a graphics enhancement ENB that also uses ReShade in another game (GTA V installed via Steam). I’m worried that EAC will detect reshade on my PC and flag me for it, resulting potentially in me getting banned in War Thunder for using Reshade on a completely different game (GTA V). Is there a risk this could occur?

[Renamed593]

yep reshade is allowed in all popular games we know and only wt considers it to be software that modifies a game process along with cheats. Hilarious

[Painman]

Not true, ReShade is banned in many other online games too. Better try next time…

Delay ban in waves is ok for low level profiles with low tier vechicles, for higher lvl players with top br vehicles and planes bans should be instant and bans shuld be HWID bans. This game is full of cheaters, if +4000 are banned each month.
