NetEase in-house anti-cheat

NetEase Games ships its own anti-cheat across titles including Marvel Rivals, variously labeled NetEase Anti-Cheat Expert or NetEase Game Security. Independent technical analysis describes it as kernel-level, in the same architectural tier as EAC or BattlEye, though NetEase has not published its technical internals. It is a different product from Tencent's ACE, with which it is often confused.

What it can and cannot see

Independent technical analysis describes NetEase's anti-cheat as kernel-level, in the same architectural tier as EAC or BattlEye, though NetEase has not published its internals. On that description it would examine the host machine while a protected game runs, the way other kernel anti-cheats do, and like them would not see a separate computer or a capture device outside the protected PC.

The same boundary applies to every anti-cheat here. Anti-cheat that runs on your PC can examine what happens on that PC, to the depth its design allows. It cannot see a second computer, a capture device, or hardware placed between an input device and the port it plugs into. That is why the presence of an anti-cheat is not, on its own, proof of anything about a player, in either direction. Vera describes what runs; it does not decide what it means.
