Anti-Cheat Expert

A core feature of ACE is the ability to block unexpected and exception-driven behavior on 1.2 billion mobile devices. Based on Tencent's safety evaluation standards, a detection accuracy rate of over 99.99% is achieved. ACE enables 24/7 real-time monitoring and data analysis, e.g. for monitored cheats and cheat engines such as "Huluxia (葫芦侠)," "Pancake Modifier" (烧饼). As soon as cheats are detected, the respective game is ended immediately.

Easy integration

Technically, ACE can be quickly accessed by the game client by calling 2-3 APIs without incurring backend development costs. This enables automated monitoring and protection without the need for configuration or maintenance.

Game version updates have no impact on the Anti-Cheat API. Additionally, daily database statistics are generated with lists of cheating players that can be customized based on real-world needs.

ACE also covers more than 30 types of virtual machines and their variants, such as VirtualAPP, Parallel Space, Clone Master and more than 30 other types of virtual machines and their variants. Creation of unique 3-level strategy models that can identify virtual machines in multiple dimensions, dynamically update, strictly prevent various misjudgments, and achieve strong anti-variability capabilities.

For the integration and use of ACE in games, it fully supports Java, C++ and C# on different Android versions. Full support for Arm, X86 architecture, supports 32-bit, 64-bit architecture, supports ART running mode; full support for Cocos, Unity, Unreal and other game engines.

ACE minimizes its interaction with underlying system layers to reduce the impact of Android fragmentation, and has a highly fault-tolerant security logic that provides high adaptability to over 2,000 device models for stable operations.

Uninstall

To ensure a complete uninstallation of ACE, it is necessary for users to take action independently after a game's removal. This is due to certain files (as observed in the case of Dungeonborne) not being included in standard uninstallation procedures and thus remaining on the device.

Data protection & kernel access

The debate around anti-cheat systems in the gaming industry regularly leads to discussions about data privacy and the need for extensive system access, especially in relation to companies like Tencent. These discussions primarily unfold on online platforms such as Steam and Reddit. Often influenced by political perspectives and due to a lack of concrete information.

It is notable that concrete examples of data misuse by Chinese companies in games, as well as anti-cheat systems or the games themselves, are rare to non-existent, while at the same time Western companies and governments are regularly criticized for their surveillance and data processing practices. Revelations about the NSA in the USA and ongoing scandals through tech companies have shown that extensive surveillance and data collection are also massive problems in Western "democracies".
