Failed to install ACE service, please make sure files of ACE are complete and unoccupied, or restart the computer and try again. (1-1701-1)

[VesperTheBanshee]

Upon trying to play the game, this message appears. I tried reinstalling the game and my restarting my computer. Neither worked. Any solutions?

the anticheat is fishy

The anticheat is very fishy, i was looking forward to try this, but as soon i saw install Ace i clicked no and uninstalled.

SAME!

Sad that they decided to use a "anticheat" that reads keystrokes and sends a constant encrypted data stream of 10-15mbps to china.

That is fishy, i don't trust stuff i have never heard of. Specially a new anticheat that is kernel i read in the internet, and by Tencent too.

This game looked good but I don't need anticheat when all I want to play is singleplayer and I don't trust this anticheat regardless.

What is this "Ace-setup.exe" by "proxima beta pte limited" that the demo wants me to install?

What is this?

[Grimmsch]

Is this bait or do just you not like to google ?

ACE is the Anti-cheat solution they use in this game.
It was developed by Tencent.

Thanks for the info! Googling "ACE" doesn't exactly return useful results.

I'll be passing on this game then, I prefer as few low level kernel mucking apps as possible on my system, and I don't play multiplayer games. Already uninstalled all of Capcom games after their Enigma Protector BS came to light recently (for back catalog single player titles, no less!)

>Capcom games after their Enigma Protector BS came to light recently
Based. It's pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing for Capcom to do but they're known for backflipping after every step forward, doesn't help Enigma is INCREDIBLY suspicious.
As for ACE? Yeah, I feel you, doesn't look like ACE is too bad but I don't think it gets uninstalled when you uninstall the game. You have to look for it in its install folder but I think it comes with its own uninstaller.

Judging but what I read recently, seems the anti-cheat might be false flagging people, oof.

Well, good thing I didn't click "Allow" to install it in the first place! Even if the files are still in the install folder or whatever, as long as they aren't given permission to run it's not such a biggie.

Whats ACE service?

Game demands the installation of an ACE-service - whats that?

edit: Oh, a Tencent-created anti-cheat? ...what could possibly go wrong....
Deinstalled.

[FrostbytePhoenix]

Yeah but make sure to also uninstall ACE as well as this dodge demo doesn't do it for you when you uninstall it. Look for a folder "called anticheatexpert" in your program files.

[Zze☔]

meanwhile you probably have discord and perhaps few other tencent programs installed but no issue there right?

I understand you try to be witty. I give you that. Its Steam after all. Whatever makes you happy.

I think asking about a program that tries to install on Ring 0 without any information is still a valid question. Right?

Anti-cheat software owned by Chinese Megacorp Tencent gets installed for this demo

Be aware that installing this demo uses ACE anti-cheat software, belonging to Communist-influenced Chinese big Megacorp Tencent. I, for one will be avoiding this game until they remove this software. As noted by someone else, uninstalling the game will not uninstall ACE. This has to be done manually. Also, this software needs kernel level access, which is not good news for anyone who enjoys their privacy.
