Easy Anticheat causes BSOD on launch
When I launch the game I sometimes get a BSOD and at the top of the error message it has something to do with easy anti-cheat. To get around this I've set my game to run in administrator, this seems to fix it for now. I am running on windows 7
Hi there,
As I've always had my drivers and computer updated - I wasn't that confident that it was a driver issue (Nvidia had updated four times over the period of my crashes and most of the updates are just updates to the 'text' files that individual games need to run on that particular card - so I doubt if there were memory issues, partly because they are rare in card driver updates, and they mainly occur in game updates with bad optimisation 😉.
So I looked into the Easy Anti-cheat software itself and found several forums that discussed how the software starts up by stressing the computer briefly and and comparing the results to a set of criteria that if the computer fails - it then crashes out... so... if you have an overclocked machine (as I do - albeit just a 5% increase run by the Asus Bios), occasionally windows needs to update its 'performance - Windows Experience Index'... I have noticed this before, when I've added a camera or controller... and you should be able to just re-start the machine and the registry updates and off you go... but since windows 7 is now not supported anymore it would seem that those registry 'flushes' are not happening... so I recommend that you manually run your windows performance index and then it would seem that Easy Anti-cheat is then happy with the hardware set-up... and remember - keep those temp folders clean - I've also had 5Gb left in there with all of the crashing!...
I hope this works for others!?
Best regards
Pippi
