M2Guard – Detection & Accuracy Update (v1.6)
Dear users,
The following improvements have been implemented in M2Guard v1.6:
False Positive Reduction
HWID spoof detection has been reworked to prevent false flags on modern PCs, NVMe SSDs, OEM motherboards, laptops, and virtual machines.
HWID spoofing is now triggered only when actual spoofing evidence is present, such as an active spoofing tool or suspicious driver activity.
Normal Windows, Edge, and Chromium background activity is now filtered more accurately.
System-owned handles, IPC objects, and browser-related activity no longer generate unnecessary tamper alerts.
Detection logs are now cleaner, easier to review, and less likely to distract server owners with harmless
system behavior.
Stronger Cheat Detection
Machine-perfect attack timing detection has been added.
Attack actions are now measured with sub-millisecond precision, allowing M2Guard to identify bots that operate with inhumanly consistent timing.
This system operates independently from existing attack-speed limit checks.
Packet bot fingerprinting has been improved. When a third-party tool sends game packets, M2Guard can now identify the actual module responsible for the packet call.
Cheats attempting to hide behind legitimate file names can no longer rely on file name spoofing alone.
Injected or fileless packet callers are now classified with the highest confidence level.
Known Metin2 cheat and bot tools can now be detected through window signature analysis.
The cheat-tool signature database can be expanded rapidly as new tools emerge.
Ban Evasion Correlation
Ban evasion detection has been improved.
When a spoofing tool is detected together with repeated hardware ID changes originating from the same source, M2Guard now classifies the behavior as deliberate ban evasion.
Such cases are weighted more heavily and processed with a higher confidence level.
Action Required
Game servers must update to the latest M2Guard client build.
The hosted detection backend has already been updated.
M2Guard continues to provide a fairer, more
stable, and more secure environment for your server.
