KERNEL-LEVEL DRIVER

Kernel-level drivers are given a high level of access to monitor and manage software and applications on a PC, such as your PC’s graphics card driver. The kernel-level driver element of the RICOCHET Anti-Cheat system will check the software and applications that attempt to interact and manipulate Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Vanguard, providing the RICOCHET Anti-Cheat team more data to bolster security. For more detailed information about RICOCHET Anti-Cheat and its PC kernel-level driver, read the dedicated FAQ.

PROTECTING YOUR PRIVACY

In its initial rollout, the kernel-level driver will only operate when you play on PC. The driver is not always-on. The software turns on when you start Modern Warfare III, Call of Duty: Warzone, Modern Warfare II, or Vanguard and shuts down when you close the game. Plus, the kernel-level driver only monitors and reports activity related to Call of Duty. While the kernel driver is deployed on PC, by extension, console players playing via cross-play against players on PC also stand to benefit.

The RICOCHET Anti-Cheat team’s commitment is the relentless pursuit of fair play, which is fought against the sophisticated issue of cheating.
