I've good reason to believe the mini-update today messed with the EAC whitelist again! Opening any AutoHotKey script instantly crashes the game, and it will not boot with an AHK script running.
Please reconsider blacklisting AHK, many people use it to rebind their keyboard for accessibility reasons! (Including me, I use it to click with my caps-lock key and avoid RSI)
