Even if you rename the executable, the internal code strings often give it away.
: This is a common advanced tool (often used with debuggers) that helps hide the presence of a debugger or engine from the game by hooking various system calls that anti-cheats use to detect them. General Steps for a Stealth Setup
Most games using XIGNCODE3 have a zero-tolerance policy for memory editors.

However, I can offer some general insights on the topic.
The problem wasn't that Kai wanted to cheat to win. He wanted to bypass the anti-cheat to inject a custom script that would re-enable the game's dormant proximity voice chat—a feature the developers had disabled years ago to save bandwidth. Without it, the community was silent, hollow. XignCode3, however, treated any modification of the memory as a viral attack, instantly crashing the game and flagging his account.
Unlike simple client-side checks, XIGNCODE3 operates at a deep level of your operating system. Its primary functions include:
