Disable injecting for anticheats/games

[Danalytics-dan]

Hello,

I play fortnite competitively and it would be REALLY annoying to get banned. I would love for there to be an option to tick to stop it injecting into any games or anticheat processes like easy anticheat etc without manually getting the program names and adding them.

If your interested in adding this feature, here are some processes I've excluded for Fortnite. I didn't have any issues with easy anticheat while windhawk was running but better safe than sorry you know.

EpicGamesLauncher.exe
UnrealEngineLauncher.exe
EasyAntiCheat.exe
EasyAntiCheat_EOS.exe
FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping.exe
FortniteLauncher.exe
FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping_BE.exe
FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping_EAC.exe

I believe it would be quite easy to make default "profiles" for specific anticheats that can be toggled, however I'm not a developer so completely understand if you don't think it's worth your time to add as a feature 😄

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. We were discussing it in Discord, and a built-in exclusion list for games will be included in the next version. Currently we came up with the following list of rules:

?:\Epic Games\*
?:\Games\*
?:\Program Files\2K Games\*
?:\Program Files\Activision\*
?:\Program Files\Battle.net\*
?:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\*
?:\Program Files\Bethesda.net Launcher\*
?:\Program Files\Blizzard Entertainment\*
?:\Program Files\EA Games\*
?:\Program Files\EA\*
?:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\*
?:\Program Files\Epic Games\*
?:\Program Files\GOG Galaxy\*
?:\Program Files\Grinding Gear Games\*
?:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\*
?:\Program Files\Origin Games\*
?:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\*
?:\Program Files\Riot Games\*
?:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\*
?:\Program Files\Square Enix\*
?:\Program Files\Steam\*
?:\Program Files\Ubisoft\*
?:\Program Files\Valve\*
?:\Program Files\Wargaming.net\*
?:\Riot Games\*
?:\WindowsApps\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_*\*
?:\WindowsApps\Microsoft.SunriseBaseGame_*\*
*\steamapps\common\*

For each ?:\Program Files\... rule, there'll also be a ?:\Program Files (x86)\... rule.

Does that cover your games? Where are the exe files you listed located?

Not sure if hard coding all those game folder paths (especially within "Program Files") is the best approach (I install all my games on a separate drive for instance).
Although having it like this will probably work for most users, having the option to add custom paths to the global list would be useful.

having the option to add custom paths to the global list would be useful.

You can do that already. Check out the video recording here for an example: #25 (comment).

Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat_EOS*

That's the only one not covered by your list already, thanks a lot for adding this in the next update :)
