Confirm project safety with BattlEye #70

Open RhapsodySL opened 2 months ago

RhapsodySL commented 2 months ago

The latest GTA V update introduced BattlEye anticheat. Is this program still safe to use with BattlEye active?

MarkusJx commented 2 months ago

From what I've researched, any anticheat shouldn't detect this program since it is basically is a fancy auto clicker with screen capture. It seems like other games using BattlEye won't detect any auto clickers or mouse/keyboard macros. That being said, I haven't tested it myself and can't guarantee anything at this point.

But autobet will work just fine even with the addition of BattlEye. You might get banned, but that has always been a possibility.

FYI: Not sure if it's due BattlEye, but I tried autobet only for a few hours yesterday and everything was fine. Today I started GTA and got a message that I am suspended for a month and my characters will be reset.

I've been using my own bot for a bunker automation for a few weeks before (also when BattlEye was already active) and did not get banned. It's only a simple python script using pyautogui to move the mouse and simulate clicks. Maybe autobet is doing "too much" that BattlEye detects.

Of course, I can't be sure whether I wasn't banned because of my own bot and the ban was delayed. But the fact that I got banned the next day after using autobet speaks for itself.

I kind of expected something like this to happen since Rockstar likes to ban everything which may make you money in-game. The ban may also be related to your script, since autobet also uses the same APIs as pyautogui (at one point it actually did use pyautogui), but with this information I can be pretty certain that these kinds of bots can't be used anymore. Sidenote: as far as I know, bans in GTA online are pretty delayed, there is a very slim chance you ban is completely unrelated. You could try to appeal your ban, since rockstar now allows you to do that.

I'll probably add a notice in the readme regarding this problem and keep this issue open for a little while, if anyone else wants to post their experience with BattlEye in GTA online.

Assuming the ban is caused by autobet, I wonder if the controller emulation would be a safer bet?

MarkusJx commented 1 month ago

If we assume they are checking all mouse movements, then yes, probably. But if BattlEye also searches for programs in the background (which is a thing they can do [it would be funny if they'd blacklisted autobet though]), then I'd have to change the name of the executable. Not sure if it's worth the effort since I don't know why (and if) someone might get banned when using autobet.
