The review in question:
AVOID omega double thumbs DOWN
This game installs some random low reputation anti cheat from japan that I have noticed some very strange behaviors from.
First it maintains running even when the game is closed, including tray icons. Also it starts on boot up regardless of boot up settings.
It seems to be sending some packets of data to japan IPs while the game has already been closed.
If you made the mistake of installing this very suspicious application it took me some time to discover all the traces of it on my PC but I believe I have completely removed it.
first uninstall the warlanders game from steam. Check to make sure that C:\Program Files\SentryAntiCheat is gone, not just empty
open a commandline and run C:\Program Files\SentryAntiCheat\setray.exe --unins2 just to make sure
search your whole PC for ses.exe and setray.exe. Delete any traces that occur
Then go here: C:\Users(put your username here)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Sentry Anti-Cheat Notification.lnk <- delete that
finally I searched quite a bit in the registry and mostly everything in the registry is gone relating to this AC. However there still is an entry so get rid of that
Win+R button
type regedit.exe
then navigate to this section:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SentryAntiCheat <- right click that and press remove then confirm
