Protected Time

Time you can trust.

Speed hacks and clock-rollback cheats break trial periods, daily rewards, energy systems and PvE balance. Stop them on the spot.

Protected Time – AntiCheat for Unity
The Problem

Two of the most common cheats target time itself.

Speed hacks and clock-rollback cheats patch the timer functions Unity calls under the hood, so Time.deltaTime returns 10x or 0.1x of reality - perfect for flying through cooldowns, dodging bullets or auto-farming.

Speed hacks patch Time.deltaTime so cooldowns, animations and physics tick at 10x or 0.1x.

Clock-rollback skips daily-reward and energy timers by jumping the device clock forward.

Both attacks break trial periods, daily rewards, energy systems and any PvE balance.

Vanilla Unity
1// Cheater can speed up time...
2float dt = Time.deltaTime;
3// ... or rollback the device clock
4DateTime now = DateTime.UtcNow;
With AntiCheat
1// Now the deltaTime is protected...
2float dt = ProtectedTime.deltaTime;
3// ... and the UtcNow like wise
4DateTime now = ProtectedTime.UtcNow;

Speed hack or clock-rollback detected → fallback to trusted time source

The Solution
Solved

ProtectedTime mirrors Unity's API and survives both attacks.

Trustworthy game and device time that survive speed hacks and system-clock manipulation.

  • Drop-in for Time.deltaTime, Time.time and DateTime.UtcNow
  • Detects speed hacks and clock skew at runtime
  • Falls back to a trusted system-tick clock on attack

What to expect

Protected Time,
the way Unity teams expect.

Same API, real time

ProtectedTime.deltaTime, ProtectedTime.time and ProtectedTime.UtcNow mirror their Unity counterparts. Migrating cooldowns, animations and timers is a search-and-replace.

Speed hackers race nobody but themselves

In-game time tampering is caught the moment a frame ticks at the wrong rate. Cheaters who turbo-charge dodges, farming or cooldowns get flagged before they can brag about it.

No more 'I set my clock forward' loophole

Clock-rollback for daily rewards, gacha pity timers and energy regeneration is detected and corrected automatically. Your live-ops economy stays balanced no matter what the device clock says.

Your game keeps playing under attack

Once tampering is detected, ProtectedTime silently switches to a trusted source and your gameplay logic keeps reading correct values - no special-case branches in your own code.

Configure once, forget about it

Sensitivity and fallback strategy are set per-component in the Inspector. No project settings, no rebuild, no per-platform plumbing.
