I started to think GGG just takes screenshots of your screen. That means protection for any visual hacks is useless.

Banned, exmap + hud. running as standard user and denied access to both. File directory names are Spotify etc but didnt recompile or change project name.
totally expected , right before the event they'll arm their anticheat again to clear the field.
I'm curious if it was only the exmap or both that was detected.

Now it happens to me too, banned. Using PoEHUD and exmap (limited user).
I think exmap could be a reason because the game can detect that you have immediately a full cleared (mini)-map instead of playing about one minute on this area. Only a thought.
No issues for me at all, have been playing for last 8 hours straight with only PoeHud (Ltd user). Haven't used exmap or anything else.
Looks like all good for PoeHud still via the limited user method.
I've been running HUD and exMap on a new account with limited user for roughly the last 14 hours with no problem (mostly idle), but I haven't been active previously except for a little testing a couple weeks ago when the limited user method first came out.
This is of course anecdotal but I am not banned on that account as of right now (7:45am on 8/3).
That's definitely possible. The account I have logged in is a complete throwaway just for testing purposes. It's connected through a paid VPN I use so I'm not really concerned about it, but definitely good to know about exMap vs just HUD.
got banned too, only that i use is exmap, well rip i guess. probaly there is no way to lift this ban
Thanks for your sacrafice guys at least we know we aren't safe again;x
Just to check in after awhile. Still not banned , using Vanilla PoeHud only. No plugins.
Running as Limited U.
Cheers.
To those who used Exmap - limited user would not help you in the slightest because it manipulates memory. Poehud should be safe, assuming no memory is being affected. HOWEVER, it has come to my attention that there are anti-hack measures in place in other games, such as Fortnite, that will get a person banned just from READING from memory. It's almost as if certain registers have 'flags' built-in that will tell the system that unauthorized access has occured. I am, henceforth, not going to use Poehud until we know just exactly what kind of system GGG is employing. The fact that that they do not keep it armed all the time is sneaky.
Edit: And yes, Exmap does manipulate memory. The fact that it attaches itself to the client can be considered manipulation, and THAT is probably where those 'flag' registers are located. It's a big clue.

As far as I'm aware banning for reading memory can only be done in two ways. Either you hook into the process reading memory, which they can't do when it's running as a limited user, or have a Kernel driver. Fortnite/BattlEye has a Kernel driver. Last time I checked, PoE didn't.
seems exmap is the one detected?
the only one who survived here is a hud only user
