Interaction with russian anti-cheating system FROST from Innova

[Grey]

Want to share a story how I ended up reinstalling displaylink driver each time I have to play Innova games that are protected by Frost.

They added DisplayLink driver as insecure one, so if it's installed the game doesn't launch and gives error. At first they said it was problem because driver was unsigned (I had used old one), but now when I reinstalled Innova's support says that game has conflict with DisplayLink driver. Funny thing is, the game worked fine with this driver before their latest anti-cheating system Frost update when they added a bunch of drivers and software to the untrusted list and called it a day.

Here is what support said to me (in russian):

"If this software has conflict with our anti-cheat, the only way to solve this problem is to uninstall such software. Maybe we will expand exception list for Frost and add that driver, but now we can do nothing about it."

I'm really mad since there is no reason to not trust DisplayLink. I use it for my usb tablet from Yiynova and never had problems with any game or any other software.

Hi Grey,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Is it that Frost? http://frostsecurity.com/

If not, would you know which one it is?
I will write to Frost.

Kind regards,
Alban

It's kind of funny Innova says it's the issue of Frost Security.
If you look at the whois of frostsecurity.com, it belongs to Innova.

I used the contact form on the website to ask to discuss with them and understand their motivation.
Kind regards,
