Temporaly ban because using a macro

22 Oct 2021, 15:28

Hi all, and sorry if this was discussed in another post, I did a quick search and I didn't find anything, and also, I am not english native, so excuse me if something is not explained properly.

So... I was entering a match in Splitgate Arena, I press an autohoekey macro throught a Streamdeck, that does a mouse movement and click in the sound blaster software, and as soon i launch the macro, I was kicked from the game with the message of a temporaly ban for suspicious activity.

So I guess is not really secure using Autohoekey in some online games? With new Battlefield just around the corner I do not want to risk a ban because of using autohotkey (or any other game in the future)...

I just started with autohoekey (trying to personalice for my neededs), but I use scritps as window shadding and AlwaysOnTop long time ago and I love it... and never have this type of problem ...

Thanks for your input guys,

any developer may come up with arbitrary rules for performing arbitrary actions upon arbitrary events occurring. whether that manifests as u receiving a ban, or getting kicked or being subjected to a stern talking to by the developer, ur mom or whoever else, is mostly irrelevant

was there a question in this post? "is ahk safe?" its safe until it isnt. the same applies for any other random thing u could come up with as well

Fair enough. I didn't remember the label of "use at your own risk" when trying to use some type of software.

My bad.

Thanks @Xtra

From the search the only thing can found is a recomendation to not to use AHK in Splitgate, so I will not use it in this game, and be careful from now in rest of online games as well.
