    Hi VaIorie​ 
    No, you won't get banned (steam account or EA) for renaming this driver.
    EA has implemented these errors precisely to avoid banning errors and compatibility issues.
    The only side effect is that you lose control of the RGB/MSI monitoring as long as the file is renamed.

    We'll have to wait for a patch.
    Have great day 😄

RGB lighting has been an age old conflict with numerous anticheats. I remember years ago I had issues with launching The Division with iirc my old asrock board. 

Removing or renaming the file should work and you wont get banned or anything it's just an error message in this context. I'd also try checking up on updating any MSI stuff you have perhaps more up to date versions of the driver/file exist that are more compliant with Javelin. I've seen it before where controller software just needs to be updated.
