INVASIVE ANTICHEAT | Is it THAT bad? | Helldivers 2 nProtect Uninstall Guide

okay so now that I finished my optimization guide showing you how to get the best performance Out of Hell divers 2 there's one glaring issue that we need to touch on that is Hell divers 2's anti sheet it's n protect game guard one of those kernel level anti sheets that gets really deep in your system and runs in the background valerant has one of the most invasive and difficult to work with anzie cheats Vanguard I've had many issues with it including but not limited to disabling your keyboard in Windows after you log in and weird things like that I've covered before and protect doesn't seem nearly as bad as what those ones are but people are very unhappy about its inclusion in the game and are review bombing it on Steam most of what people are complaining about is when you uninstall the game the anti-che sticks around now while this may be true for other games like I think it's pbo2 or something like that when you uninstall those games they don't automatically uninstall the invasive and protect antiche you need to go to different websites and download a specific uninstaller to do that task for you for example PSO2 has an anti- sheet uninstaller gin. exe that's available on their website albe it in Japanese and December also included the N protect anti-che and an unofficial steam post of theirs from 2022 they posted a delete link for n protect as well that's because both of these games as far as I understand don't automatically uninstall the antiche when you uninstall a game the reason being that you may have other games that rely on it and here are two that we've just mentioned the official n protect website also speaks about uninstalling where they provide their own uninstaller linked here this is hosted by the actual company that made the anti sheet so if there's anyone that you're going to be downloading it probably should be this one here but before we continue this is what the uninstaller looks like we can click yes and the uninstall completes that's it let's quickly quit out of the game head across to the game on Steam right click manage and browse and in here searching for GG unin we find the uninstaller for the an cheet here located in the games install folder for followed by tools here it is here as well as the installer for the anti- sheet this I assume isn't included with most games that have this anti sheet and it's something you need to download from an external Source in order to remove it however it's definitely included here one of the main things I've seen people complain about is the gameon dll which sticks around in system 32 which is C Windows system 32 in here game Monon but it's not in this folder this game actually installs it to Sis wow 64 game one here it is here game.es this is the anti-cheats driver as far as I understand now as we've already established that Games published with this antiche usually don't include an uninstaller let's try and uninstall it right click manage and uninstall there we go one of the first bits that pops up is the n protect game guard uninstaller if we choose yes and okay you'll see it looks exactly like this popup here from the official n protect game guard website just like that the an cheets been uninstalled it should no longer be on our system if we have a look in the games install folder which should have been deleted but I was in here so it's left over in the tools folder the antiche installer is gone if we go back then into bin game guard you'll see there's a couple of leftover files here including the driver as far as I understand but this folder shouldn't be active at all I'm not too sure why it's left behind but if we delete this folder it's not in use by anything meaning the anti- sheet is turned off and it seems like I can't delete this empty folder for some reason or another but anyways there's nothing left of the game or the antiche there if we have a look in ssw 64 refresh and search for game Mon it's gone it's no longer him the anti-che is completely removed if we quickly search my PC using everything the only place you can find the remaining file is inside of the recycle bin from the folder that we just deleted in the games installation directory that's it it's completely uninstalled and taken off our system so as bad as it is that this game is using an invasive anti-che that a lot of people don't like props to them for including the uninstaller with the actual uninstallation of the game meaning that nothing is really left over on your system it's not running in the background Etc the same can't be said about some other games and their invasive ansy cheats but even though it may not be the best choice here they've definitely done a relatively good job of making sure it's completely gone now as for whether these reviews were made before a small patch that included this update and the uninstaller I'm not entirely sure but at least as of today the same day as release probably maybe 6 or 7 hours until the release the UN installer is included with the game and the anti-che vanishes as soon as we uninstall the game itself so does it deserve all of the Flack that it's getting well to be honest I don't think it deserves as much Flack as some people are giving it in some regards while it may be an invasive anti-che it goes away when you delete the game unlike other ones that have n protect implemented in similar ways hopefully they do change it to something more like easy an sheet or something that's a little bit more trusted by the community in general but anyways that's really about it for this quick video hopefully it enlightened you and if you're thinking about not buying hellers because of the anti je that's included as many people say maybe this will change your opinion about it so thank you for watching M spe troubleshoot and I'll see you all next time ciao
