@zuperkamelen This is intentional. Any program that can, (or possibly could), give an unfair advantage has been getting blocked.

- Edited for clarification and to be more accurate.
I highly doubt that. What would they do? Press Mouse 1 five times on a press. I mean. It doesn't really give you any advantage. Not really.
It's also so unreliable.
What cheats would they honestly do in Apex?
Starcraft, and the like, I would maybe be able to believe. But why not use C to code the cheat if you're gonna cheat?
@zuperkamelenNo sir thoose scripts don’t just press mouse1 five times, they can do a lot more. I don’t wanna get into deep detail here, but ahk is a wide spread software used to cheat in a lot of games.
i lean out of the window now and trust that you really need it for work and it sucks for you, but a program like this cannot be allowed every program that can be used for any kind of automation needs to get removed
Then my issue become that you can run a python script for automation, or a C written program, an exe, or possibly even through a .bat file. I mean. Just banning everything running ending with '.ahk.' is ridicolous. It's all about what the script is, and they could collect the script itself to scan it for malicious intent.
I still would like to know how much one would potentially succeed to automatable, because with the knowledge I have I am still sceptical that you can do anything complicated reliably. In my experience it is not reliable at all with tasks more complicated than just typing out '/u/'. Even this fails sometimes if you do it quick enough.
Community ManagerHey @zuperkamelen,
Sorry this has had a negative effect for you.
Though others have discussed some potential issues already, this would not be the place to expand on how AHK (or any other software for that matter) could be used to automate behavior.
While it's great that you don't run in the circles that may use similar programs for less-than-legitimate purposes, those circles do unfortunately exist. There certainly isn't a one-stop solution to cheating, but we're constantly adapting and approaching the issue from multiple angles. Feel free to check this out for a bit more information, if you haven't already seen the article.
Thanks for the discussion and feedback, all!
