LiveGuard AntiCheat®

LiveGuard AntiCheat®

We make games fun again!

Since 2015, we have been dedicated to analyzing, developing, and testing various methods to combat game cheaters.

While no anti-cheat solution can entirely stop game cheating, as it's an ongoing challenge like a cat-and-mouse game, we have developed techniques to make cheating increasingly difficult. Our goal is to minimize the number of cheaters while ensuring stability and compatibility for legitimate players.

Please note that LiveGuard AntiCheat® is now available only to select clients. If you are interested in our service, please fill out this form to apply.


Why is LiveGuard AntiCheat® Different?

Expertise and Commitment

With over a decade of experience in Microsoft Windows internals and an extensive analysis of hundreds of cheat software, our relentless dedication to stopping cheating led us to create LiveGuard AntiCheat®. Frustrated by the prevalence of cheaters in massive multiplayer games, we have been developing our anti-cheat solution since early 2014.

Lowest False Positives

The gaming cheating industry is vast, and many current anti-cheat solutions struggle to keep up, often banning legitimate players. Unlike these solutions, LiveGuard AntiCheat® does not rely solely on detection algorithms. Our comprehensive approach ensures a remarkably low false positive rate, with an estimated ratio of just 1 false positive per 1,000 players. This means fewer legitimate players are wrongly banned, maintaining the integrity and enjoyment of your gaming community.

Minimal CPU Usage

Compatibility and resource usage are critical concerns for both developers and users. Nobody wants their game to lag due to anti-cheat software. That's why we invented ThreadLX, a smart threading system that operates nearly in real-time while using only 0.5-1% of the CPU. Our minimal CPU usage ensures that LiveGuard AntiCheat® runs seamlessly, without noticeable impact on game performance.

Early Prevention and Detection

To combat new exploits effectively, LiveGuard AntiCheat® initiates defense mechanisms as early as possible. Our system starts functioning the moment you press "start game," even before the game itself begins to load. This early activation creates a protective gateway, preventing attackers from injecting malicious processes during the game's startup phase.

Antivirus Friendly

We understand how frustrating it is when antivirus software interferes with launching a new game. LiveGuard AntiCheat® is designed to be safe and non-intrusive, avoiding unnecessary conflicts with antivirus programs. Our software is regularly monitored and scanned, and any false positive detections are swiftly addressed within hours. This ensures a smooth and enjoyable user experience without compromising security.

Non-Intrusive

Your privacy is paramount. LiveGuard AntiCheat® does not require or collect personal data. Unlike some well-known anti-cheat solutions, we believe that protecting the game should not come at the expense of user privacy. Our non-intrusive approach ensures that while we effectively prevent cheating, we respect and protect the privacy of legitimate players.
