Detection and bans

Was I detected or banned?

Cheat not working? First work out whether it is a detection or a ban. They mean very different things.

Quick answer
A detection means the build is paused and your account is fine: wait for live status to go green. A ban means the game actioned your account, usually with a message in game. If neither applies, it is probably a setup problem.

Detection

A detection means the build is at risk and we have likely paused it. Your account is fine. Check live status, and wait for the green light before playing again.

Ban

A ban means the game has actioned your account. You will usually see a message in-game. Anti-cheat bans are not refundable. See what to do if you got banned.

Neither?

If status is green and there is no ban message, the cheat is most likely being stopped by something on your PC. Work through Troubleshooting basics.
