Client failed an anti-cheat runtime integrity check. (1) & (4) Errors
"Client failed an anti-cheat runtime integrity check." with (1) or (4) at the end.
It just randomly kicks me for absolutely no reason. Each time I have to restart the game to get in to lobby again. I don't see people complaining about this anywhere yet so it seems fairly unique. I have received -162rp penalty on 4 ranked matches for absolutely no reason. I played 2 games just fine, then got 3 matches back to back error screens as soon as I enter the match, then a bunch in the lobby, I had two occur when trying pubs/ranked when I try to return to Lobby with ESC -> Return, bamm, boot to the Main Menu with Error. Given I could play pubs to the end and it only booted me when trying to return to lobby I gave ranked a go again. I was able to get a few games in even though most of the time I got booted while in Queue for the next match & had to restart the game each time. It was "stable" like this for a few games, enough to regain my lost -486rp. But as soon as I was about to clear the negative rp the game after, I just got booted mid-game while I was pinging (video is attached below).
In the midst of this I have tried restarting PC, verify game files, closing my Volume Control software, exiting Afterburner & RTSS, and trying to launch from my r5apex admin desktop shortcut (UAC prompt) & from Steam directly... Nothing makes a difference. I cannot think of anything that could interrupt the anti-cheat like that. I honestly figured it was my Volume Control software because it has shortcuts bound allowing me to set my volume on the active window which is a must have life-saver while streaming & gaming in general (I used to be able to do this via AutoHotkey but had to find an alternative after that got sacked). I noticed after the Javelin anti-cheat it no longer allowed the keybind that was just bound to simple buttons to work. The only buttons that triggered the volume shortcut where does with modifier keys attached which is utterly strange (I can no longer use F17 for example, has to be CTRL+F17) but alas it doesn't seem to be my Volume Control program since it didn't seem to change anything when closing it.
I don't have to even press anything or be in-game to be kicked. If it doesn't happen at the start or end of a match it just happens randomly while in queue while I am watching a video on my second monitor.
I streamed all of it (2 vods, tried PC restart in the middle)
It feels kinda random, no clear moment to moment change one can note where it instantly fails integrity but Identified cases or scenarios where it seems to trigger are:
1. When tabbed out, eventually after a few seconds or minute, you will get booted or you won't but most cases I am tabbed out. (5+ times)
2. Sitting in lobby (5+ times)
3. As soon as you are put in a match (instant abandon penalty, 4+ times)
4. When the the match is over for you and you try to leave to lobby (~3 times)
5. Randomly while just playing (1 case so far but usually if I am playing its usually just fine, its when I am not or being put into a match where it dies)
I don't know what it could be, it happens randomly, I can't even point fingers at any programs...
- I was thinking its my Wooting keyboard but I doubt it. No input and anti-cheat still just craps out.
- The fact I am streaming with OBS? Possibly but again I doubt it because why does it happen randomly then? I wouldn't be gaming if I wasn't streaming so I am not willing to drop OBS...
- Could be a laundry list of other things like PowerToys but again why does it happen randomly on windows start & stop.
- Once it seemed to happen when I hit my keyboards Media Play/Pause button...
- The fact I am still using Windows 10? Again, why randomly (I kinda have to, I have to many important files to reformat at this time and can't afford new rig home NAS (yetTM))...
- I have a PIA VPN but its split tunneled and routed only for certain applications which were all off
Updated list of things I have ruled out (Sept 30 6pm PST):
- Afterburner & RTSS
- Volume Control software & hotkeys
- OBS
- ShareX Screenshot software
- Synergy (not 100%)
I just don't get it.
Attached is the video of the 4th crash. I tried attaching links to my VODS but forum system marked my post as spam immediately (hopefully the attached clip is illustrative enough) or go to AvwonZero Twitch
Please HELP/FIX and be communicative about it, thx (I was in a false ban wave during Marathon release, banned in Beta Test, and it took almost 2 weeks without any communication to finally be resolved)! I am not banned here (thankfully) but this is almost just as frustrating. Hours of grinding just flushed in back to back errors to main menu with no info provided to resolve whatever is in conflict. Some games fine, some game boot to main menu for who knows why.
Suspected Culprit (Sept 30 8pm PST):
- PIA VPN seems to be the conflicting app, even though its split-tunneled where all apps bypass it except two, it seems to be the conflicting app... this is still a tentative assesment because the other day I was able to play for an hour fine before I get booted... but so far I am pointing finger on it. Been sitting in the lobby & matches for a while without issue. Sadly the next time I can have a full game session will be in a few days so ill leave it at that for now.
