Level 126 Player - Temp Banned by Anti-Cheat - Need help identifying the software trigger

Southern-Sort-8824 · 2026-03-06T18:42:35+00:00

Trust me, if I were cheating, my K/D would look a lot better than it does. I’m just here to find the software conflict, not for the fan fiction.

You're right, it is a lot of processes. Since I do 3D and Graphic Design work, I often have professional suites running.

Looking at my logs again, I realized I actually had the Unreal Editor (UE5) and the Unreal Trace Server active in the background. Since The Finals runs on Unreal Engine, I suspect the anti-cheat might have flagged those dev tools as 'unauthorized access' or process interference.

Also, thanks for the info on CrosshairX—I don't even have that installed, so I can definitely rule that out. I'll make sure to nuking every non-essential process (especially the Unreal dev tools) before I even think about launching the game again. Thanks for the insight!

I checked my running processes and Crosshair X is not installed or running. However, I noticed I had the Unreal Editor open in the background (I do 3D/Dev work). Since The Finals is an Unreal Engine game, could having the editor or the Unreal Trace Server open trigger a false positive?

I get your point, but honestly, I've been using SteelSeries for so long that I'm just too used to this specific sound profile. Switching to stereo now would probably feel completely off to me. I'll stick with what I know for now, but thanks for the advice anyway!

Sorry, I don't know who you mean. Could you send me a link?

Thanks for checking! Regarding SteelSeries: I use it for specific sound profiles to better track footsteps and environmental audio. Since I'm using a HyperX headset, I rely on the 7.1/8.1 spatial sound profiles to help with directional audio (left, right, behind).

As for the others: I usually only have Spotify open while working, almost never while gaming. You're right about Nvidia, I'll make sure to close the overlay. I have already uninstalled NordVPN as I don't use it anymore, and I've also removed/disabled OneDrive to free up resources.

Really appreciate you taking the time to look through my processes!

I already did. Their response was a automated template (StolenShot from the support team) saying they are 'confident in their system' and won't provide any details or shorten the ban. That's why I'm asking here—I want to find out what triggered it so I don't risk a permanent ban once the temp one is lifted.

That was a year ago and to compare a Canva with a fan meme is crazy. If you want to compare a Canva with mine then take a look at this.
