Unbotify Real Time Detection, a new addition to Denuvo’s existing bot and hardware cheat detection solution that leverages AI and analyzes behavioral data to detect bots and cheaters in real time with what’s been described as maximum precision, is now included for every Unbotify client, Irdeto has announced. Denuvo by Irdeto, which calls itself the world’s foremost games protection and anti-piracy technology company, says that bots have become an even bigger problem in gaming due to the rise of AI, making games less enjoyable for players and reducing revenue for publishers.

The advantages of Unbotify Real Time Detection include:

  • “Enables real time insights into botting activities for the first time.”
  • “Identifies bots much faster and significantly reduces the manual effort of detection.”
  • “Allows data to be obtained for faster clear identification of fraud attempts while still excluding any and all identifiable information about users in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).”

A promo for the new tech:

Irdeto on the technology:

Like the threat itself, Denuvo Unbotify…leverages artificial intelligence (AI). The software analyzes behavioral data to detect bots and cheaters in real time with maximum precision. Based on this data, a kind of behavioral fingerprint is created live in the cloud, which identifies real players as humans. In addition to real time recognition, the offline system collects further data and carries out a more detailed recognition of general user behavior at regular intervals. Denuvo Unbotify doesn’t stop at flagging the players as bots, it also provides detailed evidence for why it made this determination.

Denuvo seems like such a contentious product.

/get_on_soap_box: ON

First, let me explain, I agree with the goal of stopping bots and other "cheat" behaviors. I'm more so an RPG/MMO player than shooter, and have run into tons of bots farming and causing problems. The WOW Gold bots/spammers are notorious. Very early ESO there was a time whenever I wanted to gather a resource, a head would pop up out of the ground and get to it just before me, 90% of the time. And, of course, I could go on.

Bots/cheats in Shooters/Moboa's I think are much more serious and painful.

So, why do I find the topic contentious? Aside from those few who post about their entitlement to do as they wish or why its really ok?

The big thing is the cost, and I am not pointing at the monetary one adding $5 (or whatever) to the Game cost.

The difficulties installing, getting to run, playing offline, and extra CPU/GPU clock cycles to run the code. At least I assume AI will run in the GPU competing with the game, or will it be sending telemetry of "everything you do" to a server for processing?

I like the fair and even play field Denuvo targets providing us - just not the messes I need to clean up after it.

Wish I could play Dragon Age Origens - Ultimate ed on my desktop. Nope, cant and I suspect Devuvo is the reason.

I'm sure the companies selling cheats are terrified. lol

There isn't an anti-cheat product out there that actually works. Or hasn't been paid off.
