How a PC check works

For players. What happens when a community asks you to run DUXAC, what is checked and what you can expect.

A community you play on has asked you to run a DUXAC PC check. This page explains what that means.

What you need#

  • A Windows 10 or 11 PC (64-bit): the one you play on.
  • The PIN the community's staff gave you, for example 7KQ4-M2XA.
  • DUXAC.exe from the official download page.

What happens, step by step#

  1. Start DUXAC.exe. It checks whether it is up to date. If an update is required, it tells you and stops.
  2. Enter the PIN. The PIN links the scan to the community that asked for it. A wrong or expired PIN is simply refused.
  3. Read the consent screen. It shows the community's name, their note, their consent text and every check with the data it reads. You decide:
    • Accept: the scan starts.
    • Decline: nothing is scanned, and the community is told that you declined.
    • Restart as administrator: some checks only work with administrator rights (see Running DUXAC.exe).
  4. Wait while it scans. You see the progress. Most scans take a few minutes.
  5. Done. You see a neutral message. The result goes to the community's staff, not to you. Close the scanner; nothing stays installed.

What it looks for#

Traces of game cheats: running programs and the modules loaded into FiveM, cheat-related files, which programs ran recently (execution history), drivers and services, hardware commonly used for cheating, cheat-related domains, signs that traces were cleaned, and whether the scanner itself was tampered with. The Checks reference lists every check.

What it does not do#

  • It does not read your documents, photos, messages or passwords.
  • It does not upload files from your PC. Only findings (matching indicators) and basic system information are sent.
  • It does not stay installed or keep running.
  • It does not decide whether you cheated. The community's staff review the findings.

See Privacy & data handling for the full list of what is sent.

If something is found#

The community's staff see the findings and decide. A finding is an indicator, not proof: for example a legitimate tool may share a name with a known cheat. If you think a result is wrong, talk to the community's staff. DUXAC itself does not ban anyone.
