BattlEye vs RoSentry

BattlEye is anti-cheat software for online multiplayer games. Its system combines kernel-based protection intended to block many hacks with scans in user and kernel modes, using specific and heuristic detection routines. When it detects cheaters, it can issue global bans; game servers can also use a remote console to kick players who break server rules. The maker says it adapts solutions to supported games, including script detection for the Arma series, with integration on both client and server that can be ready for release within days. Communications use encrypted packets over the game's network connection, with no extra port or firewall forwarding, and an automatic update system. BattlEye lists Linux, macOS, and Windows, though its FAQ notes the kernel-level driver is not compatible with Windows 11 Hardware-enforced Stack Protection. It may process game, device, operating-system, and related file or process information, and says it generally stores no information on most users. Pricing is on request.

RoSentry is a cloud-based, server-side anti-cheat for Roblox games. It learns typical behavior for each player and flags differences with evidence, comparing observations such as movement speed, weapon range, and player stats with that player’s baseline. A new installation begins in learning mode: it records findings as shadow data without automatically punishing players. Developers can add custom checks in Luau alongside built-in detections. Moderation tools cover investigations, audit logs, ban waves, and appeals; Discord integration lets moderators look up or ban players, work appeal threads, and receive alerts. Installation involves placing RoSentry.rbxm in ServerScriptService and setting a Roblox secret for api.rosentry.com. The maker says the in-game SDK does not capture screens, analyze aim or mouse movement, or use hardware IDs. If its backend is briefly unavailable, the join check retries instead of ejecting players. The free plan supports one game and up to 100 concurrent players; paid plans start at $19 a month.
