Plutonium

I think just to be safe, when it gets close for windows to update, do not have the game open, we can then see if that did cause the anti-cheat to get flagged

i knew the moment the simpsons custom map with gsc script was made, we wouldve eventually make actual custom maps outside of scripts from other maps, good work

that is actually insane, obvious the anti-cheat is bugged yet the staff dont even acknowledge it, and the contributors are clearly no help either, someone needs to bring awareness to this clear problem

Its hard for me to say what could possibly trigger the anti-cheat, but there's really nothing I can do other than to help you try to understand why you could've possibly been banned, and while this anti-cheat is really good, its not perfect, I hope that the staff can try to see if there is any possible false flags for the anti-cheat so they can improve it.

press windows key + r

type in %localappdata%

scroll down until you see plutonium and open the folder

go to storage > t6

if you dont see an images folder, make one and open it

drag all the iwi files inside the folder

this is the way that i do this and remember how to do so, let me know if you need any more questions

DirkRockface you can specifically help by pc checking people who claim to be falsely banned instead of just being like "hey, im sorry cant do anything about it" or "youve been banned for a reason" when false flags happens in other games all the time, plutonium is no exception to this

also id like to argue that even though contributors have to follow the same rules as normal people, that doesnt make you like us, this is because contributors have more contributions than other people, even having access to early builds of plutonium that we dont have, youre normal in the sense of having to follow the rules and not having the powers the actual staff has, but youre not normal in the sense of that you have early access builds

finally, i want to point out that while you do point out the anti-cheat document, it actually has flaws in the document, here are a few examples that i see:

"Plutonium has an anti-cheat that was completely custom made by our developers. While we cannot divulge
information on how it works, we can confidently say that it works as we have thwarted over 20,000 cheating attempts! It will never catch everything but it most people agree that is does a better job than some others out there."

not only do we not know what percentage of the 20,000 cheating attempts are actual cheating attempts vs false flags, the source is outdated by 4 years with the latest update to the anti-cheat detection graph being on july 31, 2021

"We will not provide any information regarding any given ban, remember you broke our rules."

this is a bad argument, as again, false flags has happened in other games and so did this, even disregarding other games, gore's proof shows him just regularly playing on leetin servers before he was perma banned

also in that doc, it gives out a list of things that can get you banned which is nice, but it only gives a "following but not limited to" list instead of a full list in which when several people are claiming to be falsely banned, dont you think whoever made the anti-cheat forum can make it a full list so people know what to avoid when playing on the client?

obviously, there is no shade and i understand that youre not staff so your power is limited, but there are ways you can help contribute to helping with the anti-cheat problem beyond what the staff can control, i hope you can take my argument into consideration, if you have any questions feel free to ask me

As far as Im aware, there is no appealing a ban, you would just have to wait it out, dont make other accounts either as it does add on days to the ban, Im not on the discord as of right now, but I do want to make it clear, I hope you get unbanned sooner as with what I know right now, the ban might be unjustified (unless if you did actually use macros but I dont know what you did before you were banned).

So most of these are fine to run, but I would not be surprised if the anti-cheat caught wind of the SteelSeries application however as it does have a macro feature, Im not a contributor nor staff, so I have 0 idea what the anti-cheat catches, but it would not be a surprise if people are getting banned because of this.

i have seen a lot of people talk about being randomly banned recently, but i highly doubt is has anything to do with a windows update, what other applications do you run while playing plutonium? (i want to be clear, i want absolutely every application including search engines and whatnot)
