Before you read, I have had to place (dot) in place of the period by .com in order to post the links, My trust level I guess is not high enough to post them as normal. Also I hope this is in the right place, if not please tell me and I shall move it. I firmly believe that this post deserves attention as even if it is not effecting the masses, It is affecting some and causing a fair bit of worry for others that have yet to be on the recieving end of a potential bug due two softwares (armory crate - ability to change TDP/performance profile | Amd overlays from GPU software).
Now to the post, I as well as many others who have these devices would love to be able to play my activision games on my ROG Ally X/LeGO. However with Moderators and Asus employees now also getting banned it is getting very concerning to me to even have it on my device. For those that donât know an ROG Ally is basically a full fledged Laptop in a handheld format, The X is powered by the Z1 Extreme Processor and comes with 24gb of ram to which most dedicate a third to video. Performance on the device is pretty good. When I did play it on it I would easily get over 100FPS in most situations on med/high settings.
You can see it on asus website here:

I have made a prior post about this located here:

Here is a ROG mod from reddit getting banned due to his device for example: www.reddit(dot)com/r/ROGAlly/comments/1gyssdx/psa_cod_issuing_perma_bans_for_users_on_the_ally/?rdt=40102&sort=new
If you have one of these handheld devices I do urge you to do your best to not login and play from it until there is a fix. In my original post there was no moderators or employees being banned so I took it with a grain of salt, Now however that isnât the case we are getting more and more concrete evidence of this happening to accounts, Mainly with BO6/OW/COD. I have only read IIRC about a few wow accounts this is happening too.
I mainly make this post to hopefully get someone at blizzard to look into this as these devices are not cheap and for some it is the only option they have to play now, albeit it be to disability or time constraint.
Here are is few sites you can read further about it, I am not saying that some of these people arenât cheating however using AMD overlay / Asus armory crate should not be picked up as

videocardz(dot)com/newz/gamers-using-geforce-now-to-play-call-of-duty-are-reportedly-being-banned â granted this was over turned from what I have found.
Maybe it is the ability to pull up the armory crate and adjust the TDP of the Z1 Extreme on the fly for better performance, we really arenât sure 100% what is causing it. However It would put me and a lot of others at ease if there was anyway we could get a confirmation that we wonât lose our accounts simply for playing on a device such as this. It meets all requirements to run the game but if Watchdog/Ricochet anti cheat is picking up that using the device as intended is software manipulation than that could be problematic.
To anyone at blizzard that has actually read this and checked it out I just want to say thank you and I have these devices if there is anything I can submit to help determine what is occurring please just let me know what you need and I will be sure to get it to you.
To everyone else, I understand most wonât care or even weigh in and that is okay, I just have a lot of my life in activision games and do not want to lose what I have worked so hard to and invested so much time into. Since 04 I have loved the games and just simply wish to continue that run, Times are changing and my ability to play is also changing and that is okay too, But like most gamers if we get a chance to play then we gotta take it when we can!
