A member of our fireteam has hacks on his PC for a different game.

[rain rivet]

He's convinced that Destiny's AC won't pick them up if they aren't running. Is this true? We are worried the rest of us will get a ban for playing with him if the AC picks them up.

[quiet tangle]

tell him not to risk it and if you are actually worried dont play with him until he takes them off

but generally it shouldnt pick them up if they are actually turned off and not messing with destinys files

people have gotten banned for non active cheats and people have gotten banned for association

[karmic axle]

depends on what the hacks do, if you heard about what happened to Cruz (worlds 1st raider, played with salt). He had cheats for a old single player game and got banned because d2 detected it.

I would say in general just get rid of them as there is no point in risking it (also cheating in games is lame)

[exotic raptor]

that cheat had full access to ram memory and may be ring-0 access that why it got flagged. do not quote me on this.

[karmic axle]

that cheat was a ram editor, and its how cheats work in all games. Very far from ring, but it was the same type of software

[pale laurel]

Pretty sure he accidentally had it running to

[karmic axle]

ya that too

sucks that he is the one getting banned and the people who cheat everyday aren't
