Dear Operators,
Anti-cheat has always been a critical mission in any shooter game. The Delta Force G.T.I. Security team is committed to maintaining a fair playing environment. We'll continuously monitor for abnormal behaviors and data across multiple dimensions, and shall intensify our efforts to combat hard-to-detect kernel-level cheats.
To minimize the impact of cheats on players, we're introducing the tracing of Teaming with Cheaters for both modes, and the Cheater Kill Compensation for Hazard Operation in the extraction mode.
1. New Feature: Teaming with Cheaters Penalty
When a confirmed cheater is penalized, we also review and take action against players connected to them. If a player teams up with cheaters on purpose to gain unfair earnings, we will impose varying levels of penalties based on the severity, including but not limited to account bans and confiscation of previous gains.

2. New Feature: Cheater Kill Compensation for Hazard Operation in Extraction Mode
To reduce losses caused by cheaters, if someone who killed you is later confirmed to have cheated and receives a 10-year ban, you'll receive compensation. The G.T.I. Security team will take the following actions:
1. Retrospective Analysis: We'll conduct a thorough review and analysis of the matches played by the cheater within a certain timeframe.
2. Compensation Mechanism: If you're killed by a cheater, your gear in the gear slots (gear and weapons) will be returned based on what you've brought into the match. Consumables and miscellaneous items (e.g., ammo) won't be returned.
3. Compensation Delay: Since handling cheats takes some time, compensation may be delayed accordingly.
4. Gradual Rollout: We're currently testing this feature in some matches to ensure stability and effectiveness, and we'll expand it to all matches as soon as possible.

3. Why the emphasis on the kernel-level anti-cheat?
Standard cheats modify game memory or crack encrypted data, enabling easier-to-detect tricks like wallhacks and aimbots. In contrast, kernel-level cheats (VT, DMA, etc.) are far more elusive due to how they run, making them much harder to detect and combat.
Since the Open Beta launched, kernel-level cheats have accounted for over 70% of all penalized cheats, and nearly 50% of those cheaters have received 10-year bans. Although Delta Force already has kernel-level anti-cheat measures in place, we still devote significant manpower to battling kernel-level cheats in the long term. Disabling kernel-level anti-cheat would severely harm the experience for fair players, which is the last thing we want to see.

Our Delta Force G.T.I. Security team is dedicated to ensuring fair play and a healthy gaming environment. Our main goal is to protect rule-abiding players and minimize the negative impact of cheaters. We call on all players to join us in maintaining the game's fairness and integrity.
