Hello,
Here's a quick thread to warn everyone to never run an auto-clicker when your game is open. I started playing cookie-clicker recently and used this software: https://autoclicker.fr.uptodown.com/windows to auto-click in order to get cookies faster (yes it's dumb as you can just change values).
I had it running when I alt-tabbed into Valorant by mistake for about 3 seconds until I realized and stopped it. Nothing happened at the time but a few hours later I received a HWID ban. After contacting the support, providing as much infos as I could and waiting 5 full days here's their answer:
" Hello,
Sorry for keeping you waiting - we needed some time to look into what led to this ban. I can imagine it must've been one ugly surprise to have that notice sprung up on you with no warning.
Our team has concluded the investigation, and I'm afraid that we found the suspension to have been applied for a valid reason - certain unauthorized 3rd party programs were found to have provided you an unfair edge over other players. We cannot confirm which programs were detected, nor when the detection took place however, due to security concerns. Moreover, if this information were to fall into the hands of script makers, they could potentially use it to avoid our detection in the future.
I wish I had better news to bring; trust me, delivering these news is just as unpleasant to us as it must be for you to receive them. If there was any better way to get through this, we'd have gladly brought it up.
Our Terms of Service are oriented towards sportsmanship and fair play. When someone's actions go directly against the pillars of our community as it happens when scripts are found being used, we have no choice but to immediately ban the account in question for the sake of our community.
Please let me know if there's anything else I could clarify for you, but bear in mind that this suspension cannot be appealed.
Best regards,
Cyerena
Player Support Specialist"
So please, don't be "stupid" like me and unfortunately alt-tab into the game while an auto-clicker is active or you'll end up with the same result.
Hope you guys enjoy the game because I sure can't anymore :)
