PoE 2 servers are undergoing maintenance. Some features will be unavailable.
What does this warning mean? - You have been detected using cheating software
I have received a warning when I logged in to POE2 from Steam:
You have been detected using cheating software This is what my computer is running: The things running as background processes are steam, some geforce software and an xbox service. I don't think they are "cheating software" Just want to check I could ignore this and continue playing. Without a confirmation, I don't dare to proceed and put my account at risk. Edit: I have searched the forum, somebody said he received this warning using ultrawide. I want to confirm that I am NOT using ultrawide mod, I play this game on standard 2k.

I don't know why the pictures are not shown.
The pictures are basically 1. the warning from POE2, 2. all the software I've been running in my computer. |

" I actually contacted support and got the "robotic reply" which doesn't help, so I want to try my luck with the community. I checked this with some other players who encountered the same message today and found it's probably caused by the "input software". I chat in-game using another language which needs an input software to type. These software is wrongly detected as "cheat software". |

" I would say that's almost certainly it and you should see if there's an alternative solution to meet your needs. You say that this software is being 'wrongly' detected, but if it is capable of sending hardware events to the game client then it is possible other users are using it to violate the ToS in some way. |

" I already switched to the input software that comes from Windows. It's actually just like an alternative keyboard. Certain combination of letters = the characters in my language. |
