Hi, I do tweaks on my PC, too many, and I've done something to make the game Black ops 6 (COD) think I am cheating, i get disconnected 2 times from 2 games, then 3rd DC is a temp 24 hours ban. Activision won't tell me because it gives hackers too much information. So I'm stumped.

It mention the section of their policy:

C. You agree not to do any of the following while using the Program: (A) harass, threaten, embarrass or cause distress or discomfort upon another participant, user, or other individual or entity; (B) transmit any UGC (as defined in Section 14) that Activision considers to be disruptive, unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, hateful, or racially, sexually, ethnically or otherwise objectionable; (C) impersonate any person or entity, including but not limited to Activision; (D) disrupt normal Program functionality, or otherwise act in a manner that negatively affects other participants and/or the overall Program experience; (E) post or transmit any unsolicited advertising, promotional materials, or any other forms of solicitation; (F) intentionally or unintentionally violate any applicable law, regulation or treaty while using or accessing the Program; (G) post multiple posts of the same content (i.e., “spam”); or (H) invade the privacy or violate or infringe any right of any person or entity, including, without limitation, any intellectual property right.

I think it means (D) which is:

disrupt normal Program functionality, or otherwise act in a manner that negatively affects other participants and/or the overall Program experience;

I was playing warzone fine and dandy 3-4 weeks ago, with the only tweaks I've done since then is disabling psched (windows packet scheduler QoS driver, pacer.sys) driver verifier driver (verifier.sys) turn DMAcompatability for GPU, NIC, USB chip as forced opt out. I reversed these tweaks except psched driver, I don't see how QoS would upset RICOCHET anti-cheat.

The only things left I did since playing warzone was disable a few purposes on CA certs in certificate manager on Windows. Reading between the lines I see certs are using in cheating? At least I saw EA anti-cheat thread mention the need for a globalsign CA. Which makes me think, I disabled the 'IP security IKE intermediate' purpose for the GlobalSign Root CA, under the folder in certmgr 'Trusted Root Certificate CA' and 'Third-party root certificates'. Along with disabling all purposes for ISRG root X1 in both folders again. I disabled the purposes for NVcleaninstall driver modding authority too. Also disabled all purposes for 'hotspot 2.0 trust root' cert (I don't see how that's a problem).

'Microsoft EEC update secure server' cert's purposes has been disabled too (only server authentication purpose) under the folder 'intermediate certification authorities' and 'Microsoft windows hardware compatibility' (code signing, and windows hardware driver verification) cert's purposes too have been disabled under the same folder.

And that's it, it looks crazy. But I know this forum is the best place to go to know what is triggering the anti-cheat, Activision won't tell me because it gives hackers too much info...

So the question is, would these certs make RICOCHET anti-cheat not like what I am doing?

Thanks!
