Easy anti cheat untrusted file nvidia drivers

[bigcaos107]

A few days ago i had to restore my pc and when i tried to play the game this error message pops up:

untrusted system file
(C:/Windows/system32/driverstore/filerepository/nv_dispig.inf_amd64_362f239bd019fc/nvwgf2umx.dll)

I tried to uninstall elden ring and steam and nothing, I have all drivers updated and windows updated too. Also tried to uninstall that file but it cant be deleted.

I dont know what to do if anyone knows something it whould be great

thank you in advance

If nothing else works, you can play the game in offline mode without launching EAC. Idk why fromsoft decided to put this garbage in their games. They need to hire people who understand the pc platform and sort their nonsense out.

Use DDU to clean that garbage out and then reinstall the latest drivers.

I did the ddu thing and it worked thank you guys

For anyone who doesn't want to go the DDU route, what I ended up doing is "Reinstalling the driver" and opting for Custom Installation. During installation I asked for a "clean installation" (this is unchecked originally) where it would uninstall old drivers and install the new ones. Allow the drivers to be installed even if Windows notifies you to do otherwise. My screen turned black a couple times as it was uninstalling and reinstalling. Booted up the game and it ran like normal.

AFAIK there is no other easy way to delete that driver file as a program is constantly using it.

If your untrusted file is in a directory similar to "C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_dispi.inf_amd64_84b2c943d6816eb7" this might work for you.

Edit: I did this through GeForce Experience. I forgot to mention that.

EaC is, indeed, malware... It cannot be defined otherwise, given that it categorically does not prevent cheating, and provably does impinge on game functionality.

This Statement clearly Show you have no idea about how Computers work.
Eac is a local app at a Computer and there will be always someone able to find out how to sandbox it but this needs a lot more knowledge than the average user has.
In fact the amount of cheaters is really small in this game.

How is EAC Malware ? In the form it is implemented into this game it even does not use Hardware id logging or anything that would be comparable to what a Malware does, it simply does it's work by check variables of gamefiles and checking for known cheating apps.

There is no client server communication established that would allow access to the Computers files.

I'm in graduate school for computer science at the moment and decided to play Elden Ring while code for my graduate work runs. Let's say I'm qualified to respond.

There is a concept in security that boils down to it being transparent when it's well designed.

More to the point, "you have no idea how computers work" and then describing how EAC works inaccurately is something else. In the case of the original post, and my own issue that led me here, it's because EAC is checking system drivers to see if it thinks they're "trusted." It's not checking for "known cheating apps" here, it's checking to see if the system is in a state it feels is acceptable. For me, because I used NVCleanInstall to strip out the tons of bloat Nvidia puts in their drivers, including using an option where NVCleanInstall cryptographically signs one of the driver files, EAC has decided my system is not to be trusted. Can I inject a cheat program into those files? Maybe? Not my area of expertise.

Still, there are various types of malware, so data exfiltration ("access to the Computers files" or... "hardware ID logging (lol, what)") isn't the only way to define it. I think the person you're accusing of ignorance is probably thinking, "prevents the normal and expected operation of my computer." I'm on board with that. That's a known feature of malware.

It turns out legitimate, non-cheating users don't want to be denied access to products because of poorly-designed "security" solutions. Who would have guessed?

AS OF JUNE 2024 - THIS IS THE FIX TO THE ISSUE.

what every expert knows how this works and why the problem appear.

just to add experts like me also know how to remove the driver manually via command prompt in repair console.

It's funny they offer an overpriced a DLC and don't even bother to to say didly squat on steam support. Oops, that's untrue, because they have no support forum or even a pinned known issues. Obviously they don't care so why should I? They must think everyone is willing to die for this DLC.
