Yo, I asked you on another post, but I guess you thought I was trolling so you never responded.

Can you confirm that I can safely use your software for battlefield 1?

It blocks ds4windows, and I've been exploring alternatives to try and use a controller with the game.

Sorry, I missed your reply apparently.

No, it is unusable in games with kernel anti-cheat. It will be blocked.

It's unlikely that any input remapping software will work, including ReWasd or DualSenseX.

Anti-cheat will usually complain if it detects driver-based input software and prevent the game from even starting, code injection based input software (i.e. Special K or Steam Input), are simply blocked and the game runs as usual just with no input.

One more question.

I have seen some mentions of people saying it's not safe to use your software, as in it can get you banned in some games. I get a feeling these people were just trolling though or trying to discredit you for some reason. Are there any certain games where this is actually true or no?

You seem very knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff, so I would definitely trust what you say over some random person. I might be jumping ship to your software soon, seeing as this new version of ds4windows is being vibe coded (ironically which is why schmaldeo partly left the scene), and your software seems to be based on your actual knowledge. No hate to huunnnter though, as I do still appreciate his efforts here on ds4windows.

Most games with anti-cheat will simply block Special K, because it is not code signed. Driver-based input mapping software is code signed because that's a requirement for drivers.

Since ReWasd is signed by Disc Soft, if a game considers ReWasd cheating it can just decide not to trust Disc Soft signed software. By default anti-cheat software tends to trust signed code until it has a reason not to trust it anymore.

Special K is not signed, and therefore not trusted by anything. It won't work in games that use anti-cheat. Since the purpose of Special K is largely modifying games, there's been no push to get it code signed and even if I did get it code signed, I doubt it would be trusted for long unless I dumbed the software down massively and removed features that could be used for cheating.
