GameSense failed

So troubleshooting mods and looking at the console constantly, so this is nagging at me.

WRN [GameSense Client] Failed connecting to GameSense server - Error: ConnectFailure (No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
 

I mean WTF is it exactly? Google tells me how to use GameSense as a Unity developer and there is a plugin on git, but I can't seem to find anything that actually tells me what it is or what it does. Some references to Steelseries too, which I even have a Steelseries kboard but I refuse to use any of their @%$# spyware garbage software. (I mean WTF do I need to be online to turn off the stupid rainbow LED lights that I don't want to begin with)

I am playing SP, and yes, I did not allow anything through the firewall. I am not hosting a game therefore there is no reason any of these games should have inbound access to my system, other than for spyware. There is no good reason for traffic I did not initiate to be coming in on a game as far as I can see, and maybe I don't know WTF I am talking about, but with 30+ years of experience as a systems engineer I might know a thing or 2 about networking...

So anywho...is it just more ChiCom sponsored bull@%$# spyware or is it something actually useful?

That is nothing to worry about, it's just a warning that it failed to start it up. It's the steel series link to the keyboards that have a display on them that do things like display ammo/health/debunks and whatnot. But if you don't want it, then you can just ignore it.

 
Ok, now it is getting downright obnoxious. I see it frequently, which again I can deal with, but with the latest build it is popping up the console itself and throwing an error:

I am not about to install Steelsense chicom spyware bull@%$# software so this thing needs to @%$# right off.

It is really getting tiresome. I will replace the keyboard with a different brand if I have to.

Please add an option to disable it or tell me how to mod it out.

 
This is continuing to be obnoxious. I would really like it to stop. It hasn't crashed the game lately, but it pops up the console and has nearly gotten me killed several times as I lose control of the game.

@Krougal

So I got clarification from Alloc on this. At one point you did have the Steelseries engine installed; it looks for coreProps.json located in %PROGRAMDATA%/SteelSeries/SteelSeries Engine 3, you can try deleting that; just know that if you still have something SteelSeries running it will likely recreate that file.

Also, you can run a switch to disable it (GameSense) completely (launcher argument): -nogamesense

Oh man, thanks so much for running this down!

I know it is minor but it drives me insane.
