Eren_Hernandez Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 We've finally announced the release date of the Valrise Launcher, however, we understand that some players may be skeptical about the functionality and its exact mechanics, and whether or not it'll leak their personal information. That's why we've created this topic, and hopefully it'll answer any concerns you may have. What exactly does the Valrise Launcher do? The Valrise Launcher primarily serves as an anti-cheat tool, designed to detect any kind of cheating activities. While we can't discuss in details how the anti-cheat mechanism functions for security reasons, you can rest assured that none of your personal information is at risk. The launcher operates by providing us with essential data solely related to identifying any instances of cheating, and no additional personal or sensitive data is ever sent to us. Does Valrise Launcher scan any files outside the GTA SA directory? The Valrise Launcher will analyze running processes, but will solely focus on scanning files within the GTA SA directory and will not extend its scanning capabilities to any external directories or files outside of the game's designated folder. Does the Valrise Launcher take any screenshots outside of the GTA SA game? NO. We have gone to great lengths to ensure that the Valrise Launcher does not capture screenshots of anything outside of your game window, and that any kind of screenshots that we receive are exclusively limited to your in-game activities. Does the Valrise Launcher block any mods? The Valrise Launcher is compatible only with SAMP R5. That said, any mods that are not compatible with R5 are naturally not possible to use with the Launcher. What happens if you consent to anti-cheat? Consenting to the anti-cheat will enable certain anti-cheat measures. However, unless you are forced on VAC, these measures may not be as exhaustive. Even if you are forced on VAC, the anti-cheat will not attempt to gather any personal data What happens if you don't consent to anti-cheat? If you do not consent to the anti-cheat, no anti-cheat measures will be enabled during your game session, and no data at all will be collected or sent to us, and the Valrise Launcher will solely act as a launcher. Who can access the data collected by the Valrise Launcher? As of the date of this topic, access to the data collected by the Valrise Launcher is restricted to Managers+ and authorized members of the administration, who are granted permission by the Managers+. It is worth noting that no matter the circumstances, access to the screenshots collected by the Valrise Launcher will remain restricted to Managers+ at all times. Am I forced to use the Valrise Launcher? The usage of the Valrise Launcher is entirely optional, unless it has been specifically mandated by management. Such requirements may be applicable if you have a history of hacking or previous bans. However, we highly encourage you to utilize the Valrise Launcher, as it serves as a valuable tool in clearing your name and proving your innocence in case you're suspected of using cheats. I've seen leaked photos which shown that the Launcher took screenshots of the desktop. How do you explain that? Those photos were taken during the development and testing stage of the launcher one year prior to the release, precisely in February of 2022. That said, its only natural that we ran into such issues during the development and took our time to fix it. This also explains why the launcher wasn't meant to be publicly released at that time. Not to worry, this issue has been fixed. After testing for more than 200 sessions, there wasn't a single instance where the launcher took a screenshot outside anyone's game. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Launcher won't have such functionality for the time being. However in V2, when you successfully login, you'll get to choose which character to use instead of spawning with the main character 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammadd Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 @Eren_Hernandez For example a player is using a mode but he doesn't have enough knowledge that weather his mod is legal or illegal according to Valrise, so that player will be warned verbally to remove that mods immediately or he will be directly punished?

They've already made a list of dis-allowed mods, if still someone uses such mods then it means that they're using it for their own advantage knowing that these mods aren't allowed Edited May 25, 2023 by Lorenzo_Taba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still, I will contact Managers to check my GTA SA weather it has anything illegal so I can remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hut Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 A question just came to my mind, would the mobile client be connected to launcher by anyway, in another meaning Would you be able to see & scan phone players screens, or their client will have an anticheat it self.

If mobile players are forced on VAC, they will have to get a pc to play anymore Because launcher won't work on mobile.

Hammadd Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 @Eren_Hernandez When we switch character, our "+" sign disappeared, so it means the launcher anti cheat stops working or not? Second, when we switch back to main character((We did'nt /q, we are switching)), it also again dose not show the "+" sign, same, it means it stops working or no? And one more thing, is there any command in game to confirm weather our anticheat is working properly if the "+" sign even disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No that is an current issue which most likely will be fixed soon. As soon as you have the + on one character it should remain, unless you obviously disconnect/close the launcher.
