With every update, we work to: * Reduce resource usage * Improve detection efficiency * Minimize client-side impact * Optimize server-side processing * Reduce unnecessary network traffic * Improve overall scalability Performance improvements are included in nearly every update we release. *** ### Resource Usage Under normal circumstances, StnDev AntiCheat has a minimal impact on server performance. However, due to the nature of AntiCheat systems, some features require additional processing to ensure accurate detections and reliable protection. In rare situations, resource usage may temporarily increase depending on: * Server population * Active detections * Trigger Protection workload * Live Monitoring usage * Custom framework compatibility * Third-party resources *** ### Live Monitoring One of StnDev AntiCheat's most advanced features is **Live Monitoring**. This feature allows administrators to observe players in real time directly through the AntiCheat system. Naturally, live monitoring requires additional processing compared to standard detections. To minimize performance impact, StnDev automatically adapts the monitoring quality based on several factors: * Player FPS * Player Ping * Network Stability * Client Performance * Server Conditions The monitoring frame rate is adjusted dynamically to provide the best balance between visibility and performance. This means that players with lower FPS or weaker connections will not be unnecessarily overloaded by the feature. *** ### Smart Resource Management Many AntiCheat systems continuously process data regardless of whether it is needed. StnDev AntiCheat uses a more intelligent approach. Features and detection systems are designed to: * Process data only when required * Scale based on server activity * Reduce unnecessary checks * Avoid excessive client workload This allows us to maintain strong protection while keeping performance impact as low as possible. *** {% hint style="success" %} **Optimization First** Every major StnDev AntiCheat update includes performance improvements, code optimizations, and resource usage refinements. {% endhint %} {% hint style="warning" %} **Performance Notice** Actual resource usage may vary depending on server size, framework, installed resources, player count, and enabled AntiCheat features. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
