When certain conditions are met, specific files will be added into a checklist for XIGNCODE3 to scan, log, and record. The certain conditions here refer to the malicious programs that are registered in the XIGNCODE3 database. The only reason for accessing the data is to check and determine whether the relevant file is a normal file or not.
If the conditions are met or the file seems suspicious, a part of the file data (one-way hash value and the file name) can be recorded as a log and transferred if necessary, but in a form that the original file cannot be recognized. Similar to an anti-virus program scanning for a virus, the sole purpose is to check the structure of the file. Apart from the one-way hash value and the file name, XIGNCODE3 does not collect the data of the whole file nor does it transfer the whole file to other external servers.
Once the game is launched and XIGNCODE3 is running correctly, it will start searching for hack tools existing in the user’s PC.
With the data collected, XIGNCODE3 is able to determine if an error occurred and its cause. The recovered data helps us provide solutions for users who experience unexpected errors. Based on this data, we can also identify which users were using hacking tools, allowing us to restrict those users from accessing the service.
XIGNCODE3 strictly adheres to the Personal Data Privacy Law and manages the collected data accordingly. After the data is stored, it is disposed of after an average of 2 to 3 months. The stored logs are used for the sole purpose of checking if hack tools were used during gameplay, or to investigate XIGNCODE3 errors and nothing else.
It is impossible for XIGNCODE3 to retrieve personal files as a whole. It is also not possible to identify any personal information from the collected data. The collected data is only specifically related to the game; no personal information or files are collected. Users can rest assure that there is no chance of personal information or files being leaked.
XIGNCODE3 is located inside the folder where the game was installed, only runs when the game is launched, and ends when the game is closed. (There are cases when the XIGNCODE3 tray icon may remain, but it is not actually running).
Nearly all files related to XIGNCODE3 are removed when uninstalling Black Desert Online. To remove XIGNCODE3 entirely from your system, users will need to complete the following steps after uninstalling Black Desert Online:
- Locate the file Xhunter1.sys [To remove this file the game must not be running]
- This file is located in this directory: C:\Windows\xhunter1.sys
- Remove the Registry Entry [Use caution when adjusting registry settings]
- The entry is located here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > ControlSet001 > Services > xhunter
- Please note: manually removing files and attempting to launch the game will result in errors and the inability to play. A reinstallation of the game is required to resolve this.

To prevent the data from the hands of outside sources, XIGNCODE3 uses security programs, anti-virus programs, and data encryption. Only specific accounts and IP addresses are allowed access to the data and are constantly monitored with heavy restrictions.
Just like the game requires 2 different versions to be suitable for the 2 different Windows operating systems, XIGNCODE3 also requires each version to be compatible accordingly.
The data is encrypted with XIGNCODE3’s own encryption method.
XIGNCODE3 does not tamper with any files and only scans files, similar to an anti-virus program, to see whether or not a hacking tool is installed. Also, you can rest assured that no data is collect from normal files, only from those that meet the conditions mentioned earlier in this FAQ.
XIGNCODE3 does not block other anti-cheat programs, but it cannot be executed at the same time as GameGuard (nProtect). XIGNCODE3 has already attempted to fix this compatibility issue, however at this time, it remains unresolved, pending further investigation with GameGuard.
If other anti-cheat programs are run at the same time as XIGNCODE3, there is a chance of a compatibility issue which may lead to a crash. Should you experience this, please share this information with XIGNCODE3 and so the issue be investigated further.
XIGNCODE3 is constantly concerned about potential data leaks and is always seeking to improve data security. To date, XIGNCODE3 has not encountered any breaches or leaks.
In addition, any data stored by XIGNCODE3 is only kept for a specified period and is deleted afterwards. If a breach was to happen in the future, the data stored by XIGNCODE3 does not contain whole files or personal information, so your personal information cannot be leaked.
In cases where Microsoft Windows releases preview build updates, there are numerous internal changes in the operating system making it difficult, from the technical standpoint, to address all of these changes in advance. Prior to the official Windows update, XIGNCODE3 runs tests with preview builds as well, working to apply fixes for any errors that may occur when the official update is released.
There is no specified set size of the data since the size is determined by various factors such as file type, size, and etc. Also sending the data at regular intervals would reduce the performance of the user’s PC so it sends the data in a variable period or when a certain event occurs. Due to these precautions, there should be no negative impact at all for users that have a data cap.
XIGNCODE3 has a detection code in the error pop-up with a simple description of the error. To find out exactly what the cause of the error is, you can email your XIGNCODE3.log file (located within the game folder) to support@wellbia.com and receive a detailed feedback regarding the error.
