How to PC check someone for cheating on Roblox

A Roblox PC check, also called a screenshare, is how a community's staff check a suspected player's computer for cheats. With a forensic scanner it takes four steps: staff create a scan pin, the player downloads the scanner and enters the pin, the scan reads the PC, and staff review the report before they decide on a ban.

Ocean Anti-Cheat is a forensic screenshare tool for game server staff that reads the traces a cheat leaves on a player's PC, including the ones they tried to hide, and Roblox is one of the twelve games it supports. The steps below follow Ocean's own flow, as the downloads page, the pricing page and the detection docs describe it.

What Ocean checks on a Roblox PC

Ocean's docs have per-game detection pages for FiveM and Minecraft only. There is no Roblox-specific detection list, so a Roblox scan relies on the global detections, which the docs say apply to every game, plus warning logs, suspicious logs, detection systems and integrity checks, and on the detection strings your own staff add. This guide sticks to what those pages document.

Step 1: Create a Roblox scan pin

A staff member creates a pin in the Ocean dashboard, selects Roblox as the game and sends the pin to the player. The pin has eight characters, and pins expire about three hours after they are created, so create one when the player is ready to scan. Enterprise owners can also create Roblox pins from their own bot through the pin creation API.

Roblox needs a paid licence, because Ocean is free only for Minecraft. On the pricing page as of 2026-11-01, a personal Roblox licence costs $10 a month, $44.99 for six months or $79.99 a year, a Duo plan gives two slots for $23.99 a month, and Enterprise gives 10 slots for $84.99 every six months. Paid licences come with unlimited pins.

Step 2: The player downloads the scanner and enters the pin

The player opens anticheat.ac/downloads, picks the scanner for their system and enters the eight-character pin to get the right download. If Ocean will not start because of a Visual C++ runtime error, the downloads page gives the fix: install the x64 Visual C++ redistributable from Microsoft, restart the PC and run Ocean again. If something blocks Ocean from running at all, the same page offers the Anti SS Tool, which clears those blocks.

Step 3: Let the scan run

A typical scan takes about 60 seconds. Hardware, system activity and the detection rules you enable can change the duration. Ocean runs as a protected process, so the player cannot close it from Task Manager while it scans.

The scan looks at what is running and at what ran before the scan: execution history from Windows artifacts such as Prefetch, Amcache, ShimCache, BAM and event logs, loaded modules, memory, and files deleted before the scan, which it recovers on NTFS and FAT32 drives. A cheat closed five minutes before the check still leaves those traces.

These global detections apply to a Roblox scan as they do to every game:

• Generic Cheat Loader: files that are very likely to be cheats. The check cannot tell which game a cheat is for, so the docs recommend checking the executable manually.
• Keyauth Connection and eAuth Connection: an executable connected directly to an authentication service commonly used for cheats and spoofers. A clear indication, not proof.
• Process Injection and Generic External Injection: an injection into a process, or a process that showed a GUI it was not meant to show. The second one needs a manual review.
• Generic Cheat GUI, Generic GUI Renderer and Suspicious GUI DLL: a program or DLL showed a GUI the way cheats do. The docs note that Generic Cheat GUI can false-flag on Windows 11.
• Bypass methods and deleted traces: deleted Prefetch files, a deleted USN journal, a system time changed before the screenshare, a formatted drive, or deleted registry values in execution artifacts such as BAM.

The suspicious logs also flag files made with AutoIT or AutoHotkey, macro tools widely used for macros and autoclickers, and packed or protected executables. Read the reason Ocean gives and check them manually.

Step 4: Review the report and decide

The result opens in the dashboard as soon as the scan ends. Ocean sorts what it finds so staff know what is proof and what needs a look:

• Detect logs are confirmed detections: direct residues of a known cheat, generic highly suspicious executables and specific tampering methods.
• Warning logs are modifications that can be used to evade detection but are not proof on their own. Your community decides the penalty.
• Suspicious logs are executables flagged with a reason. Read the reason, then check manually.

For a Roblox pin, the report lists the Roblox accounts the scan found on the PC, next to the Discord accounts found there, and Ocean links accounts that connect across scans automatically. The report also rates signs that the PC was cleaned before the scan, from none to high, lays out a forensic timeline of what happened on the PC before the scan, and exports a complete report you can keep as proof behind a ban.

Add the Roblox cheats your staff already know

Because Ocean does not publish a list of Roblox cheats by name, your own rules matter. The personal licence includes strings and signature rules, and Enterprise keeps rules, string lists and GUI templates private (pricing). Ocean encrypts your detection strings and ships them to the scanner, so every scan of your players runs the checks your staff wrote.

A manual check or a scanner?

A manual screenshare ties up a staff member and a player on a call, and what it finds depends on what the staff member thinks to open. A scanner checks the same places on every PC, and anyone on your staff can review the report later from the dashboard.
