What Conflicts with Easy Anti Cheat?
Easy Anti Cheat, abbreviated as EAC, is a software program designed by Epic Games to prevent cheats and hacks in online video games. However, numerous conflicts have been reported over the years, causing various issues for gamers. Here, we’ll explore these conflicts and provide insights to help you resolve them effectively.
Rootkits and Viruses
One primary conflict with Easy Anti-Cheat is the presence of rootkits and viruses in your system. ROOTKITS are extremely malicious software that can deeply embed themselves in your PC, making it difficult for EAC to detect anomalies. VIRUSES, on the other hand, can compromise your device’s security, leading to EAC errors.
Solution:
- Always keep your antivirus software UP-TO-DATE to detect and block rootkits and viruses effectively.
- Run periodic FULL SYSTEM SCANS to identify and clean any potential threats.
- Ensure your operating system (Windows) is THE LATEST VERSION. Security patches and updates can safeguard your system against rootkit and virus attacks.
Other Conflicts:
Third-Party Software
Compatibility issues with third-party applications can cause EAC issues. AVG ANTIVIRUS has been known to conflict with EAC, leading to errors and disconnections.
AVAST ANTIVIRUS and other antivirus software may also display similar issues.
Disabling Third-Party Services:
- TMPGEnc Video Master works properly when disabled.
- ICUE by corsair (RGB lighting software) has been accused of causing EAC performance issues.
- TeamSpeak (voice communications software) has been spotted to conflict with EAC.
