Anti-Cheat System
Veil includes a powerful server-side anti-cheat system that monitors player behavior and detects suspicious activities.
⚠️ Important Note
Veil's Anti-Cheat operates at the server level and monitors gameplay patterns. It cannot access client-side files or processes. All detection is based on behavioral analysis and statistical anomalies.
Detection Methods
Speed Hacks
Detects impossible movement speeds and teleportation
Resource Injection
Monitors for unauthorized resource spawning (vehicles, weapons, money)
Statistical Anomalies
Flags suspicious progression patterns (too much XP/money gained too quickly)
Behavioral Patterns
AI-powered analysis of player behavior to detect automation and bots
Anti-Cheat Configuration
Customize detection thresholds and automated responses through the dashboard:
Admin Alerts
Real-time notifications when suspicious activity is detected:
- • In-game admin notifications
- • Dashboard alerts with evidence logs
- • Discord webhook integration (optional)
- • Email notifications for critical detections
Troubleshooting
Common issues and their solutions.
Server not connecting to dashboard
If your server isn't showing up in the dashboard:
- 1. Verify your API key is correct in the server.cfg
- 2. Check that veil-monitor is started in your server.cfg
- 3. Ensure your server can reach veilmgmt.com (check firewall)
- 4. Check server console for Veil connection errors
WebSocket connection failed
If you're getting WebSocket errors in the console:
- 1. Verify that the port you set in the server.cfg, as well as port 3000 is open on your server
- 2. Check if your hosting provider blocks WebSocket connections
- 3. Try restarting the veil-monitor resource
OAuth login requires 2 attempts
If you need to click login twice:
- 1. Clear your browser cookies and cache
- 2. Check that your OAuth callback URL is correct
- 3. This is a known issue and will be fixed in the next update
Metrics not updating in real-time
If server metrics appear frozen or outdated:
- 1. Refresh the dashboard page
- 2. Check that your server is online and responding
- 3. Verify that you started the FXServer using the Agent and that port 3000 is open
- 4. Check the System Health status for any API issues
Anti-cheat false positives
If legitimate players are being flagged:
- 1. Review detection logs to identify the trigger
- 2. Adjust threshold values in anti-cheat config
- 3. Consider disabling AutoKick for specific detection types
- 4. Report persistent false positives to support
