BattleEye kicking from server for 'AutoHotkey'

[Wylan 1]

Hey all, after this "big" update, I have tried to play the second time today (the first one was when there were some regular server problems and everyone got kicked), and this really great BattlEye system, which has caused millions of issues in several games through the last few years, just kicks me after 1 minute saying "unauthorized software detected: AutoHotkey". All right, what the hell is autohotkey? Haven't even heard about that until now, and when I checked my program files, task manager, etc for that, nothing has been found. So? Why do I get kicked for something that I clearly don't have on my PC?

 

I also hope this brilliant anticheat software is not even capable of filtering out real cheats, so the game is as full of cheaters as it was some months before, and it will eventually die. I need to know so please give me a solution for this autohotkey nonsense. Can it be used in some software i use and I don't know, or is BattleEye still not able to scan files properly?

Ahk popular software for scripting and macrosing, try google it and find at ur pc this macros and do not use it. Ahk never run without permissions so u need to run it manually until someone else did add to startups.

 

 

Btw try run clean windows boot google how to if no idea where it sit.

 

 

Or use anvir to look details of software by company name should appears as autohotkey, it is gnu licence

 

An file can be renamed for anythink else, green icon

I have this same problem and this advice did not help me at all. There is nothing on my computer by the name "autohotkey, ahk, or any variant." I have never used such a program nor heard of it before I got this message, The message for me seems to come at random; sometimes I can play for up to an hour, then it kicks. If i try to get on after the first kick, it kicks between 1-3 minutes. I also noticed that up to 10 minutes before I was kicked, my voip and chat stopped working.

it is not important to be named as AutoHotKey, example 

 

try search these icons

Did you tried boot clean window?

 

 

anything did not helped ok you need send request to game support, another way is contact to Beye support so you and Beye choosing a day and time where specialist will connect to your PC and do on the fly diagnostics.

Some keyboards, mouse use pre programed ahk, like logiteck G19 for example.(run the standard profile in these programs)

 

recording software can have ahk preprogamed in them aswell. 

 

maybe one of these is causing the issue.

Logitech Gaming Software (LGS), basically the logitech drivers for all their gaming peripherals. On some mice and keyboards, you'll be able to use hardware memory (like the G502 for example), but there are keyboards which don't feature hardware memory at all (G710+ for example).

 

[Dahel 17]

inspected fully G710 Plus Blue software, nothing been "detected" as AutoHotkey or AHK on board with this software. (used deep scans similar to Beye)

 

I've seen only custom/own programmed lnge.

 

Not going to return to this thread

I used to have a G19 keyboard, if i remember correctly they have custom apps for the lcd screen on the keyboard. there were not only logitech apps but users/owners could create their own G19 apps for tracking ingame data and so on. Tryed some of these app years ago for ventrillo and wow .

Not sure if this may cause a problem with apb , but it just might. I don't know if other keyboards use certain apps, eitherway good luckl on the troubleshooting and hopefully you find the problem so you can play again.

I have been having extensive issues with this problem and there doesn't seem to be any solution coming from LO or BE. I am keeping a detailed log of my reports here:

As you can see, sometimes I can't get into game at all. Other times I can play for hours without getting kicked. I searched my PC for anything to do with AHK (I didn't even know what that was before this error message) and found nothing. I turned on 'trueplay' in windows 10, and I found a place in Advanced System care where you can turn off macros. I tried different keyboards.  It irks me to be booted from the game when I am not doing anything wrong. Please find a solution. Thanks.

Yepppppp Ikayoz there is no solution for this, BattlEye works just like that. I've been playing many games that were perfect for years with their own or any 'hackshield' system, then a new owner just thought "LET'S USE BATTLEYE BECAUSE IT IS AWESOME!!!" and instantly the game was unplayable until BE has been removed, and if not, I and many other players had to leave those games completely. I contacted supports in those cases before, and now, and typically got no answer. It is not important, YOU are not important for Little Orbit, just like nobody who payed continously on this game were ever important to G1. But at least G1 didnt run BE. Thank you for killing the game LO, for me the death of APB is not what G1 has done with it, but this final stab in the back with bringing this dogshit BE into the game.

without AHK skill degradation...
so hard to learn to play without it...

My issue is, I have never used autohotkey, nor ever had it installed on my system in any capacity (Before this incident, I barely knew what it was), but I still get this error. I guess I'm just never going to play APB again, because I get kicked every 1-5 minutes. A fresh install and booting it allows me to play for an hour to whenever I turn it off. I play and have played many other games that run BattleEye, without issue, most notably Rainbow Six Siege, which I play regularly; I have never come across this error in all my years of PC gaming. I am kind of disappointed, I guess would be the word, that I have been kicked to the curb and said "You're on your own, but let us know if you fix it." My disappointment stems from me being a longtime player of this game, the first day it came on Steam. I have almost 4k hours on the game. It is sad that I will not be able to play anymore, nor see if APB actually reaches its potential; on the other hand, maybe it's a good thing so I don't log anymore hours.
