[b]Greetings Warlander![/b] Next Week, Warlander's Steam version will begin with testing the anti-cheat software "Denuvo" in the user environment. The intention, if all goes to plan, is to replace Sentry entirely with Denuvo. During the test, both Denuvo and Sentry will be running. The Sentry launcher may be turned off, but [b]this does not mean that Sentry is uninstalled.[/b] After the test, if we make the final decision whether to implement Denuvo over Sentry or not, [b]we will publish the procedure for uninstalling Sentry again.[/b] Denuvo will need to be installed once it's been implemented. The following is an FAQ regarding the introduction of Denuvo.
