Game closes because of Sguard / Ace anti cheat

[CyberTim]

Sguard / Ace anti cheat closes the game every 20 minutes in solo game, I don't understand, I have nothing in my PC that can cause this and all the other games work perfectly.

If i remember well, it's a windows fault, not game fault. I did this from another post and worked for me: run "services.msc", navigate on service till you find "AntiCheatExpert" aka ACE, do property and set it "launch" on "manual". It should fix the problem by running the program in the exact time you open the game, no more auto that break it. Try this first, if this don't work go for refound. It's funny how someone don't even try to navigate google to find solutions.

my config is already as you said, so the problem does not come from this side, I cannot request a refund with steam since I have exceeded 2 hours in games, in addition I ask to be able to play the games normally without crash, I don't want to get refunded but play, for information personally I search and look everywhere how to solve this but everyone says that it comes from ACE anticheat, For information, I have no problem with other games ( I have more than 350).

The problem it's in your pc so, when you installed this game something must have messed up or when you run the game you have some background programs that mess up with ACE and let the game crash and kick you out. This will be more hard to fix, unless you try to play only with essential windows start program, steam and the game. If ACE kick you out again, well nothing can help you, only a DEV that come to your house and see what's happen

The problem is in crappy anti-cheat solution. They could've used EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) or Battle Eye that have been tested by the time and work like a charm, but no, they decided to go for some unidentified crap of questionable quality that has lots of issues.

Bruh, don't waste your time. Just refund the game. Or wait until devs switch current crap with something decent (such as EAC), which might not happen anytime soon.

They probably use ACE because it's chepaer than EAC or Battle Eye. Since it's in beta, dosn't matter a lot what they use and i didn't got any problem with ACE now.

It is irrelevant for me, if it is cheaper or not. I care only about two things in regards to anti-cheat solutions:
1) It should be properly working without causing any issues for the operating system, hardware and the game.
2) It should be secure without any security loopholes that can be exploited by malicious users in order to get access to your machine.

So far only two anti-cheat solutions stood by these requirements: Easy Anti-Cheat and Battle Eye. Moreover, Battle Eye developers were enough player-friendly, to add support for Proton, so windows games with BE can run from under Linux on Steam Deck. Anything else beside EAC and BE is considered as crap by both, players and security experts.

Anything new regarding proton?

ACE would need native Linux support. I don't believe it has that. Even then it would not be likely to work through Proton, and would only work on a native Linux game client.

In this case they can simply offer to disable ACE. Then we would have at least the possibility to play on non official Servers (e.g. own dedi servers).

Game still starts with anti-cheat, even if on server it is disabled.

I messaged on there discord apparently after update 1.07 it kicks you straight out so looks like a refund for me. Pitty as the game looks amazing

I would like to play this game on SteamDeck, however the anti cheat is giving me fits as well.

Same really wish they would work on fixing this game not just upping the player count on servers!
