If you stream or record your gameplay, you already know the problem with any overlay-based tool. Whatever you see on your screen can end up in your capture, and a visible cheat menu on a stream is the quickest way to get yourself in trouble.
That's what a streamproof overlay is for. It's included with our Wardogs cheats, and here's a plain explanation of what it does, who benefits, and where the limits are.
What "streamproof" means
A streamproof overlay is designed so that what you see on your own monitor isn't what gets captured by your streaming or recording software. Your menu and visuals appear for you, and your viewers or recordings see the regular game.
That's the whole idea. It's about your output, the video that leaves your PC.
Who it's useful for
- Streamers who want to keep their broadcast clean.
- Content creators who record gameplay and review clips afterward.
- Anyone who shares clips with friends, or sends footage to others, and doesn't want the menu visible in them.
Even if you never stream, it's a good convenience feature if you ever clip a moment to send to someone.
What it doesn't do
This is important, and it's the part sellers often blur.
A streamproof overlay does not make a cheat safe from anti-cheat or protect you from account bans. It handles what's visible in captures. It does not change the fact that using cheats violates the game's rules, and it can't promise anything about detection.
So treat it as a privacy and presentation feature, not a safety guarantee.
Using it sensibly
A few practical points if you do stream or record:
- Test your setup privately first. Record a short clip and check what shows up before you go live.
- Keep your visuals readable but modest. A cleaner setup is easier to play with and less likely to draw suspicion from other players.
- Remember that viewers and chat can notice behavior, even if they can't see the menu. Playing in ways that look wildly impossible tends to attract reports regardless of what your capture shows.
Pairing it with a Config System
If you switch between playing casually and streaming, a Config System lets you save separate setups, such as a lighter one for streaming and a fuller one for private sessions. That saves you from changing settings every time.
