so today i sat and played warframe and suddenly i get banned from the game, trying to find a reason. the only thing i had done in the game was farming levels and helping another player understand the trading system. I then look in my taskbar and overwolf is running here, so even if overwolf does nothing, that is the only reason I can find.
The vast majority of games out there are fully aware of overwolf, and do not ban for its use. It’s just an overlay, similar to Steam or nvidia overlays.
Though tools within it explicitly meant to give you an advantage absolutely could get you banned.
No offense, but 99.9% of the time someone claims “I wasn’t cheating it was [well known non cheating tool] that’s the only thing it could be” it’s because they cheated.
This was their respons to the ban, where I told the same "Our system has detected instances of abnormal results and/or activity on this account, possibly related to the use of unsupported software while playing Warframe. As such, the account was automatically banned. Please be aware that certain custom graphical enhancements or UI overlays; game addons software, recording plugins etc. can cause problems when they interact with the game, and we would strongly advise you against their continued usage.
The usage of these website/softwares can lead to a permanent ban.
The ban has now been lifted from your account. We apologize for the inconvenience, but it is necessary that we maintain a strong defense in order to secure Warframe’s continued operation, and for our player’s general security."
Have now deleted Overwolf.
TIL: Warframe has an anticheat… I didn’t know that
