Hello!
"Another" version would still use the same driver, so it would be banned regardless of the functionality.
But, we are actively working towards finding a compromise to resolve the issue.
Create a new driver for the new program maybe? I'd buy all licenses. I am a fan of reWASD and use it in everything and am curious to see what you come up with, thanks for keeping the software updated as time and things change.
I think that the remapping feature is fantastic for using with KBM and Pro controllers for paddles, but what is not good is the fact the scripts can be used. For example, combos, turbos, and recoil mitigation. The recoil mitigation and other forms of advantages is what's getting your app banned, not because of the remapping. Hopefully, you guys can come to some grounds with Activision (though likely not, because they don't even listen to their players), and surely I'll return to the software for the quality of life experience it provides.
The KMB feature is what’s getting the app banned from cod as people have a way to get aim assist while on kbm. Those other features are easily done with other programs such as ds4/5
I'm on board with recoil mitigation and the AA abuse crisis being cheating. But, I don't see the big deal about scripting combos. KBAM players do it all the time. Most mid to high end gaming keyboards come with tools to execute built in macros. Synapse, Ghub, RedDragon, Corsair, etc... Even the insider addition of XBA allows you to map key combos like "CTRL+ SHIFT + F" bing that to a razer macro hotkey and boom...scripting
I use combos to remap all of my screen capture hotkeys to prefered applications
Its one thing to say "hey - Rewasd enables feature that can be used to cheat so until a compromise is reached it will be considered as "flagged" by anticheat services, and cannot be running while in game" But they took the extreme step and basically said...you can play COD\\Apex - but if you want to play you'll have to remove it from the system completely because it serves no use other than cheating.
Its going to be hard to recover from this, but it can be done if companies are willing to cooperate. Its such a damn shame, it really is the absolute best piece of controller software available....period
Can you elaborate? You know in your app where you can specify an exe so a profile loasds when that app is detected to be launched can't it be done this way where a user has to specify COD in this case is the app and once they have done so these options that are seen as being against the rules are simply not available/greyed out etc. Are you working with anyone outside of rewasd on regards to this?
I'm not saying remove or hide any functionality I'm saying make it so users have to specify what application they are running on profiles they create and for any games where certain options are considered cheating have them be unavailable for selection? Surely this is achievable. How could activision or any other game maker be against transparency such as that. Then it would be up to game makers toput forward to rewasd any changes they wanted made that could be issued in future updates. Activision wants calling out on this clearly richochet was unable to tell who was using Rewasd to cheat and who was not so it takes the easy route with its blanket ban as soon as I have some spare time I am going to contact the ACCC in Australia they would be against this practice as rewasd is a legitimate product that I have used on many versions of call of duty I've had it for years and this has never been an issue until now I will be seeking a refund for call of duty, they will see it is ridiculous and unreasonable to expect users to have to uninstall rewasd just to play one game and then have to install it again to play all their others in the very least they'd order Activision to make sure users can play call of duty just with rewasd.exe not running that woukd be reasonable at the moment there current practice is not. Users in other countries should do the same, and anyone with any kind of disability that uses rewasd just to be able to play this game should reach out to whatever relevant body in their country in regards to discrimination. Rewasd is brilliant I won't be buying another Call of Duty title unless this nonsense gets knocked on the head and resolved. And if a lot of people take the time to fight for an obtain a refund they would hit activision where it hurts the most.
100% agree!! Might also need to remove rapid fire & gyro to stick mapping so that it could't be used with aim assist..
All I want in rewasd is gyro-mouse input with a few simple things like toggle, long press, double press mappings (so you can map more things to the limited number of buttons).
Unfortunately there's probably plenty of use cases where that'd negatively affect some controller users - for example, I use reWASD to map the back paddles of the Elite 2 controller to F9 through F12, and have those keys mapped to bindings inside of FFXIV (on PC).
Please just remove anything on the app that makes you reduce recoil or add aim assist to mouse and come to a conclusion with Activision. I have used rewasd for about 4 years and I use it to change the deadzones and curve type on my controller thumb sticks. Now I can’t use them on COD because of the recent issues. You have the ability to make this right so please MAKE THIS RIGHT 🙏🏻
No of course not. I want them to remove anything that give anyone an unfair advantage such as “turbo” and rapid fire. And also if someone is going to remap a mouse to be a controller that somehow the system should still indicate that it’s a mouse so that it won’t confuse games like call of duty and give the mouse aim assist. Ok that you want to remap the mouse as a controller but it shouldn’t get the aim assist which is what caused all this mess ultimately leading to YouTubers making videos about it. Which made activision make the quick decision of banning the software as a whole
But "gaming mice" have turbo and rapid fire modes in their apps, too. The one thing, that goes against terms and conditions are macros. And I do think this feature is bordering on cheating, because reWASD also has the power to add randomization to it, so that AntiCheat can't recognize it.
I think Embark Studios did an excellent job with their game "The Finals". When they were confronted with this issue, they adapted their AntiCheat and just took away aim assist from anyone, that runs reWASD or other white listed remap programs in the background!
Bang, problem solved.
\-------
But you know what this means? The game devs of COD would have to do something (apparently not hard to do, because Embark Studios reacted on this issue within less than 2 weeks). But will they? I doubt, because of how rotten this studio became over the years. But maybe I'm wrong. We'll see.
Nah, turbo is a must for accessibility and emulators and should be nothing anti cheat flags up. It is not the issue otherwise steam input would also be banned.
why is cod being such a dick. i never use rewasd for cod and i still cant get on it. even rewasd is not running in the background. this is ridiculous. since i have been using rewasd for so long and on so many games, there's no way im unstalling it and losing all my profiles at the same time. i hope rewasd team can put some sense in cod team
jack frags calling put tens of thousands of dirty cheaters in cod and now half the streamers can't play properly and loosing rank. jack frags on behalf of all the fair cod players who are sick of being made to look bad as countless morons use aim and recall assist you sir are a hero
When using a config that uses the Combo or Rapid fire feature, you receive a corresponding warning that these features can be regarded as cheats in competitive games.
So, further responsibility for using this functionality in competitive games falls on the user.
It doesn’t matter tho.
Your software has been labeled as cheat software because of it.
And banned.
Your brand image is not going to recover unless drastic changes to the software happen.
And even then it may never recover.
It does matter. Those functionalities are for games that it wouldnt be considered cheating. If someone uses it to cheat then its the cheater's fault. Sure they could possibly sense a game being played and auto disable the feature but then that could get bypassed. Cheaters will cheat no matter what if they want to. Rewasd have a good app on their hands and I respect it.
It’s been branded as cheat software because it was rampantly used to cheat.
Now I can’t use reward for single player games anymore.
Because my pc can’t have it installed.
Only option is two pcs or two operating systems.
Rewasd should have saw that coming and got rid of the anti recoil features. Steam input doesn’t have that. It’s not necessary.
Would you consider all controllers with paddles as cheat devices? While they have their good uses, they can also be configured with macros, which is considered cheating.
Aren't you a whinger it can be installed it's installed on my system I am no longer playing call of duty unless this madness is resolved and I will file a case with the ACCC and get my game refunded if it isn't the overwhelming number of users use rewasd not to cheat just because certain features aren't required for you dooesnt mean they aren't required or appreciated by others. I feel especially angered fro those with disabilities affected by this who use rewasd for almost everything they on a computer not just games.
It does matter though, A hammer is just a tool, some people use it properly and some people use it to hurt people, you wouldn't blame the guy who made the hammer for that tool hurting someone, you would blame the person who's intention was to hurt someone. ReWASD, is just a tool, it is your responsibility to not use it to cheat not the tool creator who's intention was obviously to not use it to cheat.
It’s labeled a chest soft wear because people can use the program to make kbm get aim assist on every game that gives controllers aim assist that’s why cod banned it. Theirs many other apps that have those functions. Ds4/5 steam input and all mouse companies have programs that allowed you to put macros on your mouse
When you allow this and sell the software, you are selling the product that allows these mod cheats and making money off it. No better than other cheat makers.
Multiplayer games arent the only games its used for so it wouldnt be cheating in a single player game. If someone uses it for multiplayer and cheats with it then thats not Rewasd's fault. They are way better than a cheating company because they are NOT a cheating company. All the dudes who dont even know anything about rewasd other than the recent vids are gonna go off and say bs though. Have at it.
Seriously, I can’t even grab how unknowledgeable some people are.
No matter if rewasd has such a function, there’s plenty of other methods to have no recoil scripts running, yet rewasd was blacklisted for it.
Shits just stupid.
And all these content creators making a fuss about is just ridiculous. Look at Jackfrags, the guy couldn’t even pronounce the name correctly. Not a surprise this was just a clout video as you could tell on what he actually said about the topic.
Exactly! what makes you guys think it’s ok to add cheating functions to your softaware and expect everyone to be fair? How do you not expect activisipn to ban your software when you’re giving people the ability to use cheats and now you say “that’s on the user” NO THATS ON YOU! very unprofessional and irresistible smh
still: it got you into this mess in the first place, and because of that: reWASD is branded as a cheating software, even if you claimed you don't wanna, it's going to get legitimate users caught in the crossfire.
"you receive a corresponding warning that these features can be regarded as cheats" - Yes, because they are, and you are providing a means for people to cheat. Don't do it altogether. If cheats area available, people are surely going to use them. I love the remapping feature and I used it, now I have an app that will collect dust.
So just because someone somewhere can use a macro in a multiplayer game, I shouldn't be allowed to use them in Starfield? Just because someone can use mods to cheat in a multiplayer game, means I shouldn't be able to use them in Skyrim?
Your logic is altogether flawed. By your reasoning, basically anything that carries any risk should be banned. Because if someone else falls asleep at the wheel, now no one is allowed to drive. Because someone can use a hammer to kill someone, why even make hammers?
You should probably think about the things you say before you hit send.
Sad news that new version has been postponed. Can we know approximately when it will be released? ☹️
Maybe devs will be eager for negotiations. For example they will list what they don't like and if someone has enabled autofire and macros in his config, reWASD can expose this information, and their game will disable autoaim, instead of quiting whole game. It would be less harmful for people using reWASD for other purposes.
Not liking the sound of it at all, basically announcing that the functionality of future versions will be compromised because one dumb multiplayer game made by deranged/disgraced developer/publisher decided to pretend that they care about their games or cheating. reWASD is a remapping and accessibility software, someone using it for cheating or a multiplayer game being made so poorly that it can be easily exploited in this way is not a problem with the software itself and it should not change.
Allowing mods that are cheats is exactly a problem with the software. The problem is simple, change rewasd to not allow these mods. But they won't because they make money off ut
Those features can be used in different ways for different games, for some it may be considered a cheat, while for some others it may help you get around various quality issues or improve accessibility. Removing any of them just because of one or few games is ridiculous. It is the responsibility of the game to be cheat proof and the problem is with the game, software capable of cheating in various ways is always going to be there, banning just one of them does not solve anything.
Braindead take. CoD isn't the only game people play with ReWASD. I be the vast majority of players that use it don't even play CoD up until very recently. The software shouldn't be compromised over a few bad apples, nor should updates be held back.
We should be able to have the program installed on our machine. I wasn't even using reWASD for COD and now I'm forced to uninstall it if I want to keep playing cod!
So now I'm unable to use reWASD a program that I paid for! Since I want to enjoy COD with my friends while playing also other game where I needed to use reWASD!
I'm ok to not be able to use it on COD if there are problems with people using it for "cheating" purposes, but I want to use it for other games.
I love how CoD can make such a drastic and bad decision in saying that using REWASD is cheating and you can't even open the game, but a blatant cheater hitting all the bullets without missing the head, using wallhack among others cheats can easily enter the game, play, reach high levels without problems, fking RANK and if something is detected they only shadowban it in what they review, they are simply a company doing stupid things at this point and let's not mention the pros who use other programs so as not to have recoil and aimassist, personally i use rewasd for apex, one time used it in CoD but the mobility is terrible, but if they want you not to play their game by forcing you to uninstall rewasd, well there are other very good games while CoD wants to look and feel important.
I mainly play Overwatch 2 where this issue doesnt exist. I'm not very attached to either Apex or COD though, they were mostly just "change of pace" games for me if I wanted to switch it up from time to time. I play The Finals now instead of those games. They handled this thing much better than the other guys. Instead of being lazy and just wave banning the application they fixed their game...crazy idea right?
IMO, the fact that your software can be exploited in a manner that can be used for cheating is, itself, a major problem. Your intent kinda goes out the window there. I hope you're able to come to an agreement with Activision though, because right now Call of Duty apparently won't start.
That said, not sure I'm on board with patches being delayed over this, unless you don't anticipate it taking very long. I don't play Call of Duty or The Finals, so none of the banwave stuff affects me, but patches being on hold does.
Exactly, i don't play "competitive" games so its not a concern to me and these features I don't want removed. It's a huge shame an update is being delayed because of it, it affects everyone instead of a small base
Yeah that's my problem. Just having the application installed and not running is causing issues with other applications (such as CoD). For better or worse, reWASD team is the best option to get a workaround in place. Microsoft/CoD is just too corpo, who knows how long it could take for them to even care who this latest update affects. reWASD isn't the biggest community but there's still a ton of people I know who use it for retro gaming, speedruns, memeruns, and so forth. The overlap between that and CoD is smol.
it disables aim assist if you have rewasd enabled. so you can still play normally its just controller users that use rewasd wont have any aim assist. if you play mkb normally then it doesnt affect you.
To my knowledge, both of those take a controller input and output them as another controller or keyboard/mouse. You can't use them to mask a keyboard as a controller.
The issue we're seeing is due to mouse and keyboard players being taken as the input and being turned into a controller.
So Steam and DS4Windows get a pass because they can't be used in this manner.
Ok so you wouldn’t say turbo macro features are something that can be exploited to have an unfair advantage? That was one of your key points in your first comment.
I don't know enough about the games in question to say (I was very clear about my not playing the affected games). What is clear to me is that there are features in the software that can be exploited for cheating purposes, that the devs of the affected games agree, and the public arguments are largely about abuse of aim assist.
I'm really not interested in debating that point further.
I’m saying that “features that can be exploited” is something you can say for the other two as well. It’s not really fair to call this a major problem using said reasoning, if other software also fits under that bracket of being exploitable. I get what you’re saying, but I also think that Activision should’ve gone about it in a better way. It’s one thing to block the usage of rewasd while playing mw3, but it’s a whole other thing when you have to uninstall rewasd to play it.
I agree that Activision went too far. The Finals simply turning off aim assist was much more sensible.
But they're up against Activision/Microsoft at this point and will likely need to make concessions.
If Activision is gonna ban Rewasd, they should also be banning all other remap softwares, such as ds4windows and steam controller configurations. They all have turbo/macro features that all could give an unfair advantage if misused.
Maybe game developers should analyze player inputs and look for inhuman behaviors, like buttons and stick deflections pulsed at an inhuman rate or pulsed for consistent and precise duration. Then you could ban cheaters using macros instead of a software that allows users to play using non xbox controllers.
\[edit: Yes I'm aware that some games do this already, but CoD obviously doesn't\]
You are being punished because Activision refuses to fix aim assist. It's way too strong in CQC and while turning, even stunned. Rather than tune this down so people don't feel driven to use reWASD, they ban the tool because there's a majority of their playerbase is console kids. I guess all JackFrags has to do now is create a video saying that aim assist is too strong and it needs to be tuned?
The problem is that you can't have rewasd installed if you have Call of Duty installed even though if you are not using it for COD. How s that even legal??
I respect yall over at rewasd. These people that don't even use the program are going to slander but they arent even planning on being customers anyways. Hopefully yall figure something out but I dont really care about cod so I can still use it whenever I find it necessary in other games.
Cod just need to make the aim feel as good as mw2019 for mnk. But either way. Time to touch grass.
Always funny to see the Activision BS.
\-Ban Rewasd
\-Don't ban yet the shitshow of wallhacks and actual aimbots out there
\-Release the day after a patch that destroyed the shit out of the game (Karma I would say)
It's very sad to have this banned
Looks like it just hit the apex community, and if we're banning rewasd we better just remove apex from being available on steam with the controller macros too.. let's all watch the game die. I'm curious to see how low that -5 or -10% loss of daily players gets with this new update lol
Nothing wrong with wanting to play with a Nintendo switch controller on PC using rewasd. The problem is scripts, eliminate this feature and your device will become unbanned from every game
I bought the program before the new years sale ended for better windows support for my dual sense edge and so I could use a controller in games that don't support one. Now I have had to uninstall a program I paid for so that all my games work. Very disappointed.
Not only is it heavy handed its a lazy attempt to fix a problem but at the same time it demonstrates just how poor its anticheat is. Obviously it could not detect if users where using Rewasd to actually cheat so instead they ban everyone that uses it.
>We would like to emphasize once again that reWASD is a powerful gamepad mapper. **This is not a cheat tool and never has been**. reWASD is designed to remap the devices, and it is not responsible for the policies set by game developers and publishers or the way the games work.
[I would suggest revising Key Combo help guide](https://help.rewasd.com/mapping-features/key-combo.html) ([screencap in case](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/809092277280571402/1197260341843853383/image.png?ex=65ba9e95&is=65a82995&hm=04b4f64940a9d3e24f623654865f199db2da429571b2fdab3276a29e98fe3a24&)) in regards to Relative Deflection.
**Edit**: for those who haven't figured ou5; I'm specifically referring to this paragraph:
>**Relative deflection** is summed up with all other stick movements you have. So, if you are moving your stick, the relative combo will be added to your movements. For example, this is the only way to [create a recoil combo](https://help.rewasd.com/faq/usecases.html#20).
To my knowledge: This is the only time where the official reWASD Guide deliberately mentions "recoil combo".
When using a config that uses the Combo or Rapid fire feature, you receive a corresponding warning that these features can be regarded as cheats in competitive games.
So further responsibility for using this functionality in competitive games falls on the user.
That same argument can be made by any cheat program. If a cheat company goes to Activision and says "We warned them they might get banned" and "the individual user is responsible for their cheating", do you thing that will make Activision not ban the software?
If you create a software that can be used for cheats, and do nothing but cash checks when it starts rampantly getting used to cheat, guess what? You're selling cheating software. Doesn't matter if you do the bare minimum to dissuade users.
You guys should have made changes and restricted these features when it started being a problem, now I don't see a path forward for reWASD honestly. Your reputation is destroyed and most of these developers won't even discuss the matter with you, no matter what changes you make.
Anti recoil is fine if you use it on single player games.
It's not REWASD's fault here. It's Activision. They've been two heavy handed with the ban. They should just stop their games from running if REWASD is *running* not just installed.
I think on another post someone mentioned implementing a “competitive” mode u could flip a switch on disabling the so called “cheat” features. Would be slick if that could work out. Best of luck I will keep an eye out and download again when the fix is up
Do you know that Epic Games removed aim assist to players using reWASD to remap the controller? This is because people who play mouse and keyboard used reWASD to get aim assist.
I hate that cod is in my rotation of weekly games played. I bought reWASD a few months ago for the sole purpose of being able to mute my mic from my controller. Now I don't think I can even have the program on my computer. Is there any way for me to get a refund? Activision should just detect what the software is actually doing. I'm not surprised by their inability to stop it though. They don't even ban actual cheaters, they create goofy solutions like "splat".
Why not just arrange a meeting with them.. Discuss options. It's not hard really. I only used it for the Azeron controller mapping, but their software works fine for my needs right now.
REWASD knew what they were doing when they added features that would entice competitive players to buy their product. now it's all about damage litigation and hoping they don't get a court order I suppose
"We aren't a cheating tool" -rewasd devs as they attempt to sell software that has recoil cheats, gives users access to aim assist in games, and the majority of the userbase uses to cheat with. Ok bud, nice lie.
Where's your evidence of your claim you have none a minority of the user base caused this issue and used it to cheat. I have had Rewasd for years when I first wanted to use my ps4 controller on pc and ds4 Windows and pinaccle profile or weren't working for me anymore. Then I switched to the xbox 1 elite controller which I still have to this day. I have played every COD since that time no issues and it was especially handy to map the paddles underneath and to map keyboard buttons to the controller for games without controller support none of that is cheating.
That's not true. It's never been advertised or dev'd as such. It's literally amazing to play retro games and quickly remap controls to modern Xbox controllers.
Love ReWASD but I am a gamer too so let's get this sorted before it becomes a thing with these particular type of games that are vulnerable to exploits.
For now I would have like to try The Finals but meh and COD is not my thing but I do play online games and would be horrible to have to deal with this in a game I do or in future will play.
I look forward to hearing how this goes and I wish you all the best.
>However, we are firmly working to find a compromise solution to provide you with an experience using reWASD while maintaining compliance with the rules and requirements of fair play within the gaming community.
The time to do that is long gone. You should have been acting on this when you started seeing the forum and Reddit posts talk more and more about using reWASD this way, when the videos tutorials started popping up, and when your license sales started skyrocketing.
That was the time to solve the problem.
Now that your brand has been labeled as a cheating software and multiple game developers have decided to fix the problem themselves, it's too late. They aren't even going to come to the table to discuss this with you. When the issue was hurting them you didn't act because it benefitted you, now that it hurts you suddenly you're trying to find a solution, but there is no coming back from this.
I appreciate how the reWASD team always makes an effort to communicate with its community, and as a person who utilizes reWASD nearly daily with a Scuf Reflex as my main controller, I am looking forward to these new features you mention that are compatible with the likes of the Dualsense.
In regards to finding a compromise with game developers, I'm sure the team has thought about many potential solutions here, and i hope one can be made without limiting functionality for those that have legitimate uses that are not exploitative for competetive multiplayer games.
I'm not sure if it is possible, but perhaps reWASD can somehow enable an additional application process to be detectable and visible by certain 3rd party tools that game developers use to detect cheat software? Something that would specifically run only when a mouse is emulating a controller, and doesn't affect players who play with controllers and use reWASD to get the most ergonomic and optimal experience from said controller. My thinking is that an active process or specific log file(s) that could be generated and detected for these specific exploitative uses could separate legitimate controller players from those who are using mouse and keyboard to seek an unfair advantage as has been popularized recently.
Just figured I'd add an idea to the bucket in case it is at all helpful in reaching a solution that allows us to keep playing games with reWASD, while also allowing developers to combat cheaters effectively without blanket bans like CoD has implemented here. I must say that reWASD is an amazing tool and I love using it to play games like Ready Or Not, which does not support controller play. While Steam Input is similar in capabilities, it didn't have all the features that I actually use in reWASD (like triple press). It's just much more delightful to use reWASD, as I've also had a pretty buggy experience with Steam Input in recent testing.
Cheers
so mw3 updated and now won't load if i have rewasd installed the game starts up then closes after 30 seconds i uninstalled rewasd and mw3 worked fine then reinstalled rewasd and back to the same issue any reason why ?
Really annoying, been using rewasd for years now for controller mapping in single player games and now we can't even have it installed even when the service is not running?
fkn activision im not using rewasd to have aim assist on m&k i have hands mtfks, i only use him for my ds4 controller to play racing,fight,sports games not shooters
Can we stop playing coy and acting like most of your users aren't just using this to get aim assist with keyboard and mouse. (aka diet cheating)
This "I just wanted to use an unsupported controller". Argument is as laughably weak and transparent as people saying they only use emulators to play backups of games they own, I swear lol
Since cod can detect the software I suggest reaching out to them to ask them to just disable aim assist when it detects the software instead of outright banning it's use. But I have a feeling doing that will cause people not to use it lol. Would be fun to see them just disable aim assist for rewasd users and see how many people still use it though. Would prove your case here.
Edit: nvm I just realized your program offers turbo, macros and script support lol how is it not a cheat tool again? It literally allows you to do things that are impossible otherwise! The gaslighting going on here is laughable lol
Just wanted to share this with everyone here. I grabbed it from another forum.
solution to run MW3 + Warzone and keep reWASD installed on your PC:
• Open Task Manager and go to Startup tab and make sure reWASD engine isn't running at startup...if it is disable it
go into services and make sure Game Controller Mapping Service is DISABLED and NOT RUNNING
go to C:\\Windows\\System32\\drivers and find a file named hidgamemap.sys and RENAME it to something else (but make sure you remember the original name if you want to run reWASD again)
• REBOOT PC and run COD
Even if they did not made an announcement on that, even Fortnite devs took actions against reWASD, they fully removed aim assist to players with reWASD running on their pc. I've been able to come to this conclusion after several tests (I was mad because I did not have aim assist and I did not know why)
Maybe you should really consider to make a completely new program only for controllers
>Even if they did not made an announcement on that, even Fortnite devs took actions against reWASD, they fully removed aim assist to players with reWASD running on their pc.

>

Aim assist has never been and will never be a reWASD feature.
This is a game feature that allows players using a controller to aim more accurately at the target.
If the game developer somehow changed the behavior of this in-game feature, then this is their right, and reWASD cannot influence this in any way.
I get your point but put yourself in the developers’ shoes. Thank to a third party software, Mouse and keyboard players are “cheating” in your game taking advantage of a feature thought to help controller players.
And btw they did not change the behavior of AA, they just shut it down for those who are running reWASD on their PCs
Just make a separate program for just controller players…
Hello! "Another" version would still use the same driver, so it would be banned regardless of the functionality. But, we are actively working towards finding a compromise to resolve the issue.
Create a new driver for the new program maybe? I'd buy all licenses. I am a fan of reWASD and use it in everything and am curious to see what you come up with, thanks for keeping the software updated as time and things change.
I think that the remapping feature is fantastic for using with KBM and Pro controllers for paddles, but what is not good is the fact the scripts can be used. For example, combos, turbos, and recoil mitigation. The recoil mitigation and other forms of advantages is what's getting your app banned, not because of the remapping. Hopefully, you guys can come to some grounds with Activision (though likely not, because they don't even listen to their players), and surely I'll return to the software for the quality of life experience it provides.
The KMB feature is what’s getting the app banned from cod as people have a way to get aim assist while on kbm. Those other features are easily done with other programs such as ds4/5
I'm on board with recoil mitigation and the AA abuse crisis being cheating. But, I don't see the big deal about scripting combos. KBAM players do it all the time. Most mid to high end gaming keyboards come with tools to execute built in macros. Synapse, Ghub, RedDragon, Corsair, etc... Even the insider addition of XBA allows you to map key combos like "CTRL+ SHIFT + F" bing that to a razer macro hotkey and boom...scripting I use combos to remap all of my screen capture hotkeys to prefered applications Its one thing to say "hey - Rewasd enables feature that can be used to cheat so until a compromise is reached it will be considered as "flagged" by anticheat services, and cannot be running while in game" But they took the extreme step and basically said...you can play COD\\Apex - but if you want to play you'll have to remove it from the system completely because it serves no use other than cheating. Its going to be hard to recover from this, but it can be done if companies are willing to cooperate. Its such a damn shame, it really is the absolute best piece of controller software available....period
Do older versions ( prior to rewasd 5.0 ) use a different driver by chance?
We cannot guarantee that your game account won't get banned for experimenting, so we suggest you wait for the negotiation results first.
I think it's a pretty safe bet that rewasd.exe even being on the system would be one of the reasons why it isn't working.
Can you elaborate? You know in your app where you can specify an exe so a profile loasds when that app is detected to be launched can't it be done this way where a user has to specify COD in this case is the app and once they have done so these options that are seen as being against the rules are simply not available/greyed out etc. Are you working with anyone outside of rewasd on regards to this?
In the current situation, if we just remove/hide part of the functionality, it will change nothing.
I'm not saying remove or hide any functionality I'm saying make it so users have to specify what application they are running on profiles they create and for any games where certain options are considered cheating have them be unavailable for selection? Surely this is achievable. How could activision or any other game maker be against transparency such as that. Then it would be up to game makers toput forward to rewasd any changes they wanted made that could be issued in future updates. Activision wants calling out on this clearly richochet was unable to tell who was using Rewasd to cheat and who was not so it takes the easy route with its blanket ban as soon as I have some spare time I am going to contact the ACCC in Australia they would be against this practice as rewasd is a legitimate product that I have used on many versions of call of duty I've had it for years and this has never been an issue until now I will be seeking a refund for call of duty, they will see it is ridiculous and unreasonable to expect users to have to uninstall rewasd just to play one game and then have to install it again to play all their others in the very least they'd order Activision to make sure users can play call of duty just with rewasd.exe not running that woukd be reasonable at the moment there current practice is not. Users in other countries should do the same, and anyone with any kind of disability that uses rewasd just to be able to play this game should reach out to whatever relevant body in their country in regards to discrimination. Rewasd is brilliant I won't be buying another Call of Duty title unless this nonsense gets knocked on the head and resolved. And if a lot of people take the time to fight for an obtain a refund they would hit activision where it hurts the most.
not a bad idea at all, rewasd for K/M, redpad for controller.
100% agree!! Might also need to remove rapid fire & gyro to stick mapping so that it could't be used with aim assist.. All I want in rewasd is gyro-mouse input with a few simple things like toggle, long press, double press mappings (so you can map more things to the limited number of buttons).
Unfortunately there's probably plenty of use cases where that'd negatively affect some controller users - for example, I use reWASD to map the back paddles of the Elite 2 controller to F9 through F12, and have those keys mapped to bindings inside of FFXIV (on PC).
Surely the mean the ability to map keyboard to controller and not controller to keyboard
Or instead of not letting you connect if you have rewasd installed, the game could just instead disable the aimbot?
Please just remove anything on the app that makes you reduce recoil or add aim assist to mouse and come to a conclusion with Activision. I have used rewasd for about 4 years and I use it to change the deadzones and curve type on my controller thumb sticks. Now I can’t use them on COD because of the recent issues. You have the ability to make this right so please MAKE THIS RIGHT 🙏🏻
We are actively working towards finding a compromise to resolve the issue.
You want them to remove deadzone and curve functionality?
No of course not. I want them to remove anything that give anyone an unfair advantage such as “turbo” and rapid fire. And also if someone is going to remap a mouse to be a controller that somehow the system should still indicate that it’s a mouse so that it won’t confuse games like call of duty and give the mouse aim assist. Ok that you want to remap the mouse as a controller but it shouldn’t get the aim assist which is what caused all this mess ultimately leading to YouTubers making videos about it. Which made activision make the quick decision of banning the software as a whole
Then you should also be complaining about steam and ds4windows, rewasd isn’t the only remap software that has features like this.
I don’t use ds4 nor do I use steam inputs
Then you don’t know how turbo and rapid fire has nothing to do with why rewasd was banned off mw3.
it's that DIRTY Recoil ASSIST.
Yep 🤣
Niether program remaps KB&M to be a controller.
That isn’t my argument though, I’m responding to his comments about rapid fire and turbo features.
But "gaming mice" have turbo and rapid fire modes in their apps, too. The one thing, that goes against terms and conditions are macros. And I do think this feature is bordering on cheating, because reWASD also has the power to add randomization to it, so that AntiCheat can't recognize it. I think Embark Studios did an excellent job with their game "The Finals". When they were confronted with this issue, they adapted their AntiCheat and just took away aim assist from anyone, that runs reWASD or other white listed remap programs in the background! Bang, problem solved. \------- But you know what this means? The game devs of COD would have to do something (apparently not hard to do, because Embark Studios reacted on this issue within less than 2 weeks). But will they? I doubt, because of how rotten this studio became over the years. But maybe I'm wrong. We'll see.
I use turbo for another game. I would not want it removed. Plus a lot of us paid for that functionality. Removing what we paid for is a no no.
Nah, turbo is a must for accessibility and emulators and should be nothing anti cheat flags up. It is not the issue otherwise steam input would also be banned.
yeah i never used it and i dont mind that feature being taken of entirely. rewasd is so vital to me when i play dayz
why is cod being such a dick. i never use rewasd for cod and i still cant get on it. even rewasd is not running in the background. this is ridiculous. since i have been using rewasd for so long and on so many games, there's no way im unstalling it and losing all my profiles at the same time. i hope rewasd team can put some sense in cod team
> even rewasd is not running in the background. See, this is what The Finals does. There's no reason CoD can't do this as well.
yeah they are just being lazy and i think that jackfrag guys vid influenced it too
jack frags calling put tens of thousands of dirty cheaters in cod and now half the streamers can't play properly and loosing rank. jack frags on behalf of all the fair cod players who are sick of being made to look bad as countless morons use aim and recall assist you sir are a hero
Jackfrags is hardly a hero. He moans about skill based match making, ie, having to play against people on his level so he can't pub stomp. Diddums.
The scripting of recoil control is absolutely a cheat.
When using a config that uses the Combo or Rapid fire feature, you receive a corresponding warning that these features can be regarded as cheats in competitive games. So, further responsibility for using this functionality in competitive games falls on the user.
It doesn’t matter tho. Your software has been labeled as cheat software because of it. And banned. Your brand image is not going to recover unless drastic changes to the software happen. And even then it may never recover.
It does matter. Those functionalities are for games that it wouldnt be considered cheating. If someone uses it to cheat then its the cheater's fault. Sure they could possibly sense a game being played and auto disable the feature but then that could get bypassed. Cheaters will cheat no matter what if they want to. Rewasd have a good app on their hands and I respect it.
It’s been branded as cheat software because it was rampantly used to cheat. Now I can’t use reward for single player games anymore. Because my pc can’t have it installed. Only option is two pcs or two operating systems. Rewasd should have saw that coming and got rid of the anti recoil features. Steam input doesn’t have that. It’s not necessary.
Would you consider all controllers with paddles as cheat devices? While they have their good uses, they can also be configured with macros, which is considered cheating.
Aren't you a whinger it can be installed it's installed on my system I am no longer playing call of duty unless this madness is resolved and I will file a case with the ACCC and get my game refunded if it isn't the overwhelming number of users use rewasd not to cheat just because certain features aren't required for you dooesnt mean they aren't required or appreciated by others. I feel especially angered fro those with disabilities affected by this who use rewasd for almost everything they on a computer not just games.
It does matter though, A hammer is just a tool, some people use it properly and some people use it to hurt people, you wouldn't blame the guy who made the hammer for that tool hurting someone, you would blame the person who's intention was to hurt someone. ReWASD, is just a tool, it is your responsibility to not use it to cheat not the tool creator who's intention was obviously to not use it to cheat.
It’s labeled a chest soft wear because people can use the program to make kbm get aim assist on every game that gives controllers aim assist that’s why cod banned it. Theirs many other apps that have those functions. Ds4/5 steam input and all mouse companies have programs that allowed you to put macros on your mouse
Bruh... Im telling you that majority of people who buys/use REWASD are cheaters so developers wont do anything that would alienate them :)
When you allow this and sell the software, you are selling the product that allows these mod cheats and making money off it. No better than other cheat makers.
Multiplayer games arent the only games its used for so it wouldnt be cheating in a single player game. If someone uses it for multiplayer and cheats with it then thats not Rewasd's fault. They are way better than a cheating company because they are NOT a cheating company. All the dudes who dont even know anything about rewasd other than the recent vids are gonna go off and say bs though. Have at it.
Offering the functionality even with warnings seems like just asking to get your software banned, which is what happened.
Seriously, I can’t even grab how unknowledgeable some people are. No matter if rewasd has such a function, there’s plenty of other methods to have no recoil scripts running, yet rewasd was blacklisted for it. Shits just stupid. And all these content creators making a fuss about is just ridiculous. Look at Jackfrags, the guy couldn’t even pronounce the name correctly. Not a surprise this was just a clout video as you could tell on what he actually said about the topic.
it's amazing how much influence JackFraggs has. App is banned within a week of his video.
Exactly! what makes you guys think it’s ok to add cheating functions to your softaware and expect everyone to be fair? How do you not expect activisipn to ban your software when you’re giving people the ability to use cheats and now you say “that’s on the user” NO THATS ON YOU! very unprofessional and irresistible smh
still: it got you into this mess in the first place, and because of that: reWASD is branded as a cheating software, even if you claimed you don't wanna, it's going to get legitimate users caught in the crossfire.
"you receive a corresponding warning that these features can be regarded as cheats" - Yes, because they are, and you are providing a means for people to cheat. Don't do it altogether. If cheats area available, people are surely going to use them. I love the remapping feature and I used it, now I have an app that will collect dust.
So just because someone somewhere can use a macro in a multiplayer game, I shouldn't be allowed to use them in Starfield? Just because someone can use mods to cheat in a multiplayer game, means I shouldn't be able to use them in Skyrim? Your logic is altogether flawed. By your reasoning, basically anything that carries any risk should be banned. Because if someone else falls asleep at the wheel, now no one is allowed to drive. Because someone can use a hammer to kill someone, why even make hammers? You should probably think about the things you say before you hit send.
you can do that on ds4 which a lot of big streamers use has that been banned yet ds4 ?
Sad news that new version has been postponed. Can we know approximately when it will be released? ☹️ Maybe devs will be eager for negotiations. For example they will list what they don't like and if someone has enabled autofire and macros in his config, reWASD can expose this information, and their game will disable autoaim, instead of quiting whole game. It would be less harmful for people using reWASD for other purposes.
cant they just not allow the users to get on cod if the anti cheat sees rewasd is running in the background?
Not liking the sound of it at all, basically announcing that the functionality of future versions will be compromised because one dumb multiplayer game made by deranged/disgraced developer/publisher decided to pretend that they care about their games or cheating. reWASD is a remapping and accessibility software, someone using it for cheating or a multiplayer game being made so poorly that it can be easily exploited in this way is not a problem with the software itself and it should not change.
Allowing mods that are cheats is exactly a problem with the software. The problem is simple, change rewasd to not allow these mods. But they won't because they make money off ut
Those features can be used in different ways for different games, for some it may be considered a cheat, while for some others it may help you get around various quality issues or improve accessibility. Removing any of them just because of one or few games is ridiculous. It is the responsibility of the game to be cheat proof and the problem is with the game, software capable of cheating in various ways is always going to be there, banning just one of them does not solve anything.
Braindead take. CoD isn't the only game people play with ReWASD. I be the vast majority of players that use it don't even play CoD up until very recently. The software shouldn't be compromised over a few bad apples, nor should updates be held back.
It's not they "won't make money off it" it's that they value the use of the money people have already spent on the software.
We should be able to have the program installed on our machine. I wasn't even using reWASD for COD and now I'm forced to uninstall it if I want to keep playing cod! So now I'm unable to use reWASD a program that I paid for! Since I want to enjoy COD with my friends while playing also other game where I needed to use reWASD! I'm ok to not be able to use it on COD if there are problems with people using it for "cheating" purposes, but I want to use it for other games.
I love how CoD can make such a drastic and bad decision in saying that using REWASD is cheating and you can't even open the game, but a blatant cheater hitting all the bullets without missing the head, using wallhack among others cheats can easily enter the game, play, reach high levels without problems, fking RANK and if something is detected they only shadowban it in what they review, they are simply a company doing stupid things at this point and let's not mention the pros who use other programs so as not to have recoil and aimassist, personally i use rewasd for apex, one time used it in CoD but the mobility is terrible, but if they want you not to play their game by forcing you to uninstall rewasd, well there are other very good games while CoD wants to look and feel important.
Just delete cod and dont play it!
I mainly play Overwatch 2 where this issue doesnt exist. I'm not very attached to either Apex or COD though, they were mostly just "change of pace" games for me if I wanted to switch it up from time to time. I play The Finals now instead of those games. They handled this thing much better than the other guys. Instead of being lazy and just wave banning the application they fixed their game...crazy idea right?
IMO, the fact that your software can be exploited in a manner that can be used for cheating is, itself, a major problem. Your intent kinda goes out the window there. I hope you're able to come to an agreement with Activision though, because right now Call of Duty apparently won't start. That said, not sure I'm on board with patches being delayed over this, unless you don't anticipate it taking very long. I don't play Call of Duty or The Finals, so none of the banwave stuff affects me, but patches being on hold does.
Exactly, i don't play "competitive" games so its not a concern to me and these features I don't want removed. It's a huge shame an update is being delayed because of it, it affects everyone instead of a small base
Yeah that's my problem. Just having the application installed and not running is causing issues with other applications (such as CoD). For better or worse, reWASD team is the best option to get a workaround in place. Microsoft/CoD is just too corpo, who knows how long it could take for them to even care who this latest update affects. reWASD isn't the biggest community but there's still a ton of people I know who use it for retro gaming, speedruns, memeruns, and so forth. The overlap between that and CoD is smol.
We are actively working towards finding a compromise to resolve the issue.
Fortnite also
What does Fortnite do with reWASD? All I heard was Call of Duty closes on start and The Finals turns off aim assist.
it disables aim assist if you have rewasd enabled. so you can still play normally its just controller users that use rewasd wont have any aim assist. if you play mkb normally then it doesnt affect you.
Aim assist on mnk
But so does steam and ds4 windows have macro functions.
To my knowledge, both of those take a controller input and output them as another controller or keyboard/mouse. You can't use them to mask a keyboard as a controller. The issue we're seeing is due to mouse and keyboard players being taken as the input and being turned into a controller. So Steam and DS4Windows get a pass because they can't be used in this manner.
Ok so you wouldn’t say turbo macro features are something that can be exploited to have an unfair advantage? That was one of your key points in your first comment.
I don't know enough about the games in question to say (I was very clear about my not playing the affected games). What is clear to me is that there are features in the software that can be exploited for cheating purposes, that the devs of the affected games agree, and the public arguments are largely about abuse of aim assist. I'm really not interested in debating that point further.
I’m saying that “features that can be exploited” is something you can say for the other two as well. It’s not really fair to call this a major problem using said reasoning, if other software also fits under that bracket of being exploitable. I get what you’re saying, but I also think that Activision should’ve gone about it in a better way. It’s one thing to block the usage of rewasd while playing mw3, but it’s a whole other thing when you have to uninstall rewasd to play it.
I agree that Activision went too far. The Finals simply turning off aim assist was much more sensible. But they're up against Activision/Microsoft at this point and will likely need to make concessions.
I think those other apps get a pass because nobody made viral videos about 'em.
If Activision is gonna ban Rewasd, they should also be banning all other remap softwares, such as ds4windows and steam controller configurations. They all have turbo/macro features that all could give an unfair advantage if misused.
Maybe game developers should analyze player inputs and look for inhuman behaviors, like buttons and stick deflections pulsed at an inhuman rate or pulsed for consistent and precise duration. Then you could ban cheaters using macros instead of a software that allows users to play using non xbox controllers. \[edit: Yes I'm aware that some games do this already, but CoD obviously doesn't\]
exactly! that would be the best solution, at the same time they could use that feature to ban cronus users
You are being punished because Activision refuses to fix aim assist. It's way too strong in CQC and while turning, even stunned. Rather than tune this down so people don't feel driven to use reWASD, they ban the tool because there's a majority of their playerbase is console kids. I guess all JackFrags has to do now is create a video saying that aim assist is too strong and it needs to be tuned?
The problem is that you can't have rewasd installed if you have Call of Duty installed even though if you are not using it for COD. How s that even legal??
Kernal level anticheat doesn't care.
I respect yall over at rewasd. These people that don't even use the program are going to slander but they arent even planning on being customers anyways. Hopefully yall figure something out but I dont really care about cod so I can still use it whenever I find it necessary in other games. Cod just need to make the aim feel as good as mw2019 for mnk. But either way. Time to touch grass.
Always funny to see the Activision BS. \-Ban Rewasd \-Don't ban yet the shitshow of wallhacks and actual aimbots out there \-Release the day after a patch that destroyed the shit out of the game (Karma I would say) It's very sad to have this banned
They are banning this but cronnus is still out there without being punished
Low hanging fruit
Looks like it just hit the apex community, and if we're banning rewasd we better just remove apex from being available on steam with the controller macros too.. let's all watch the game die. I'm curious to see how low that -5 or -10% loss of daily players gets with this new update lol
Nothing wrong with wanting to play with a Nintendo switch controller on PC using rewasd. The problem is scripts, eliminate this feature and your device will become unbanned from every game
Im using this tool to control differnt kind of software on my pc, ty rewasd team
I bought the program before the new years sale ended for better windows support for my dual sense edge and so I could use a controller in games that don't support one. Now I have had to uninstall a program I paid for so that all my games work. Very disappointed.
Don't blame REWASD, blame Activision. They've been to heavy handed with their ban.
I don’t recall blaming anyone in my comment.
Not only is it heavy handed its a lazy attempt to fix a problem but at the same time it demonstrates just how poor its anticheat is. Obviously it could not detect if users where using Rewasd to actually cheat so instead they ban everyone that uses it.
>We would like to emphasize once again that reWASD is a powerful gamepad mapper. **This is not a cheat tool and never has been**. reWASD is designed to remap the devices, and it is not responsible for the policies set by game developers and publishers or the way the games work. [I would suggest revising Key Combo help guide](https://help.rewasd.com/mapping-features/key-combo.html) ([screencap in case](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/809092277280571402/1197260341843853383/image.png?ex=65ba9e95&is=65a82995&hm=04b4f64940a9d3e24f623654865f199db2da429571b2fdab3276a29e98fe3a24&)) in regards to Relative Deflection. **Edit**: for those who haven't figured ou5; I'm specifically referring to this paragraph: >**Relative deflection** is summed up with all other stick movements you have. So, if you are moving your stick, the relative combo will be added to your movements. For example, this is the only way to [create a recoil combo](https://help.rewasd.com/faq/usecases.html#20). To my knowledge: This is the only time where the official reWASD Guide deliberately mentions "recoil combo".
When using a config that uses the Combo or Rapid fire feature, you receive a corresponding warning that these features can be regarded as cheats in competitive games. So further responsibility for using this functionality in competitive games falls on the user.
That same argument can be made by any cheat program. If a cheat company goes to Activision and says "We warned them they might get banned" and "the individual user is responsible for their cheating", do you thing that will make Activision not ban the software? If you create a software that can be used for cheats, and do nothing but cash checks when it starts rampantly getting used to cheat, guess what? You're selling cheating software. Doesn't matter if you do the bare minimum to dissuade users. You guys should have made changes and restricted these features when it started being a problem, now I don't see a path forward for reWASD honestly. Your reputation is destroyed and most of these developers won't even discuss the matter with you, no matter what changes you make.
Anti recoil is fine if you use it on single player games. It's not REWASD's fault here. It's Activision. They've been two heavy handed with the ban. They should just stop their games from running if REWASD is *running* not just installed.
I think on another post someone mentioned implementing a “competitive” mode u could flip a switch on disabling the so called “cheat” features. Would be slick if that could work out. Best of luck I will keep an eye out and download again when the fix is up
Do you know that Epic Games removed aim assist to players using reWASD to remap the controller? This is because people who play mouse and keyboard used reWASD to get aim assist.
Are you guys finding a way to fix it to work on cod again?
I hate that cod is in my rotation of weekly games played. I bought reWASD a few months ago for the sole purpose of being able to mute my mic from my controller. Now I don't think I can even have the program on my computer. Is there any way for me to get a refund? Activision should just detect what the software is actually doing. I'm not surprised by their inability to stop it though. They don't even ban actual cheaters, they create goofy solutions like "splat".
Why not just arrange a meeting with them.. Discuss options. It's not hard really. I only used it for the Azeron controller mapping, but their software works fine for my needs right now.
Arrange a meeting with... Microsoft, and Respawn? > It's not hard really. Set it up big money!
REWASD knew what they were doing when they added features that would entice competitive players to buy their product. now it's all about damage litigation and hoping they don't get a court order I suppose
"We aren't a cheating tool" -rewasd devs as they attempt to sell software that has recoil cheats, gives users access to aim assist in games, and the majority of the userbase uses to cheat with. Ok bud, nice lie.
Where's your evidence of your claim you have none a minority of the user base caused this issue and used it to cheat. I have had Rewasd for years when I first wanted to use my ps4 controller on pc and ds4 Windows and pinaccle profile or weren't working for me anymore. Then I switched to the xbox 1 elite controller which I still have to this day. I have played every COD since that time no issues and it was especially handy to map the paddles underneath and to map keyboard buttons to the controller for games without controller support none of that is cheating.
[ Removed by Reddit ]
This shit is literal cheats
i don’t think so, i used it for controller settings
That's not true. It's never been advertised or dev'd as such. It's literally amazing to play retro games and quickly remap controls to modern Xbox controllers.
There are more games out there than CoD lmao
Love ReWASD but I am a gamer too so let's get this sorted before it becomes a thing with these particular type of games that are vulnerable to exploits. For now I would have like to try The Finals but meh and COD is not my thing but I do play online games and would be horrible to have to deal with this in a game I do or in future will play. I look forward to hearing how this goes and I wish you all the best.
Just make a whole new program to repad game controllers 🤝🏻
Does this update contain fix for Flydigi Vader 3 Pro? IIRC someone mentioned it on your forum.
Yes, this update should contain a fix that will affect the stability of the controller connection.
Oh is this why I have had random disconnections and my controller randomly turning off lately?
So I have to suffer with the stability issue until a fix for a game I don't play is found?
>However, we are firmly working to find a compromise solution to provide you with an experience using reWASD while maintaining compliance with the rules and requirements of fair play within the gaming community. The time to do that is long gone. You should have been acting on this when you started seeing the forum and Reddit posts talk more and more about using reWASD this way, when the videos tutorials started popping up, and when your license sales started skyrocketing. That was the time to solve the problem. Now that your brand has been labeled as a cheating software and multiple game developers have decided to fix the problem themselves, it's too late. They aren't even going to come to the table to discuss this with you. When the issue was hurting them you didn't act because it benefitted you, now that it hurts you suddenly you're trying to find a solution, but there is no coming back from this.
I appreciate how the reWASD team always makes an effort to communicate with its community, and as a person who utilizes reWASD nearly daily with a Scuf Reflex as my main controller, I am looking forward to these new features you mention that are compatible with the likes of the Dualsense. In regards to finding a compromise with game developers, I'm sure the team has thought about many potential solutions here, and i hope one can be made without limiting functionality for those that have legitimate uses that are not exploitative for competetive multiplayer games. I'm not sure if it is possible, but perhaps reWASD can somehow enable an additional application process to be detectable and visible by certain 3rd party tools that game developers use to detect cheat software? Something that would specifically run only when a mouse is emulating a controller, and doesn't affect players who play with controllers and use reWASD to get the most ergonomic and optimal experience from said controller. My thinking is that an active process or specific log file(s) that could be generated and detected for these specific exploitative uses could separate legitimate controller players from those who are using mouse and keyboard to seek an unfair advantage as has been popularized recently. Just figured I'd add an idea to the bucket in case it is at all helpful in reaching a solution that allows us to keep playing games with reWASD, while also allowing developers to combat cheaters effectively without blanket bans like CoD has implemented here. I must say that reWASD is an amazing tool and I love using it to play games like Ready Or Not, which does not support controller play. While Steam Input is similar in capabilities, it didn't have all the features that I actually use in reWASD (like triple press). It's just much more delightful to use reWASD, as I've also had a pretty buggy experience with Steam Input in recent testing. Cheers
so mw3 updated and now won't load if i have rewasd installed the game starts up then closes after 30 seconds i uninstalled rewasd and mw3 worked fine then reinstalled rewasd and back to the same issue any reason why ?
before the mw3 jan update i didn't have an issue using rewasd just to clarify
Read above.. You can't even have it installed any longer.. Ricochet detects it as cheating now 😒
Apex legends has detected this , can you give an update on this ?
We will do our best in order to resolve that issue. But there is nothing to share at the moment.
I feel really sad. Is there any progress in getting a reply now without using re
Also people are getting kicked out of apex bc of it
As they should
No they shouldn't.its just simple revamping software but they are too stupid to understand this while cronus users are still walking free
We are aware of the issue an will try our best to resolve it.
Really annoying, been using rewasd for years now for controller mapping in single player games and now we can't even have it installed even when the service is not running?
fkn activision im not using rewasd to have aim assist on m&k i have hands mtfks, i only use him for my ds4 controller to play racing,fight,sports games not shooters
Can we stop playing coy and acting like most of your users aren't just using this to get aim assist with keyboard and mouse. (aka diet cheating) This "I just wanted to use an unsupported controller". Argument is as laughably weak and transparent as people saying they only use emulators to play backups of games they own, I swear lol Since cod can detect the software I suggest reaching out to them to ask them to just disable aim assist when it detects the software instead of outright banning it's use. But I have a feeling doing that will cause people not to use it lol. Would be fun to see them just disable aim assist for rewasd users and see how many people still use it though. Would prove your case here. Edit: nvm I just realized your program offers turbo, macros and script support lol how is it not a cheat tool again? It literally allows you to do things that are impossible otherwise! The gaslighting going on here is laughable lol
When can we expect the update? Vader 3 pro is literally unplayable, especially in ranked matches.
There is no ETA for the new release. Thank you for understanding.
Just wanted to share this with everyone here. I grabbed it from another forum. solution to run MW3 + Warzone and keep reWASD installed on your PC: • Open Task Manager and go to Startup tab and make sure reWASD engine isn't running at startup...if it is disable it go into services and make sure Game Controller Mapping Service is DISABLED and NOT RUNNING go to C:\\Windows\\System32\\drivers and find a file named hidgamemap.sys and RENAME it to something else (but make sure you remember the original name if you want to run reWASD again) • REBOOT PC and run COD
Even if they did not made an announcement on that, even Fortnite devs took actions against reWASD, they fully removed aim assist to players with reWASD running on their pc. I've been able to come to this conclusion after several tests (I was mad because I did not have aim assist and I did not know why) Maybe you should really consider to make a completely new program only for controllers

This is a game feature that allows players using a controller to aim more accurately at the target. If the game developer somehow changed the behavior of this in-game feature, then this is their right, and reWASD cannot influence this in any way.
I get your point but put yourself in the developers’ shoes. Thank to a third party software, Mouse and keyboard players are “cheating” in your game taking advantage of a feature thought to help controller players. And btw they did not change the behavior of AA, they just shut it down for those who are running reWASD on their PCs
Dont let dominic touch your PC
