Modern Anti Cheat was made with the understanding that larger and more popular servers cant support resource heavy anti cheats and so they're left with inferior anti cheats or even no anti cheat. Modern Anti Cheat is extremely optimized for larger servers and wont slow down your server. ModernAC isn't going to clutter your server with useless UIs and notifications, we keep it simple but allow you to delve deeper into logging with the Discord logging support.

• Easy to setup, just drag and drop
• Configuration is easy
• Near-instant detection on most lua cheats
• Informative console & file logging, you'll know what someone was banned for exactly
• Supports ULX, Serverguard, and Maestro
• Update checks notify you of an available update
• Discord logging
• No DRM

Although there shouldn't be any issues here are some basic fixes

• Players are being falsely banned for x reason

• Disable the detection method in the config file

• The steam family share check isn't working

• Grab a new key from here

• The discord logging isn't working

• Re-read and follow all the instructions in the config file

• The anti cheat isn't working or loading

• Make sure you placed it in your server addon folder, contact me if something isn't working

If any issues arise that you can't fix don't hesitate to open a support ticket.
