Game freezes whole PC possibly due to ACE anti-cheat software

[Woodverine]

As soon as I get to the main menu my whole PC freezes and I have do to "hard restart".
Windows' Event Viewer entries immediately before the one informing that system has been restarted say:

 The AntiCheatExpert Service service is marked as an interactive service.  However, the system is configured to not allow interactive services.  This service may not function properly. 

and

 A service was installed in the system.

Service Name:  AntiCheatExpert Service
Service File Name:  "C:\Program Files\AntiCheatExpert\SGuard\x64\SGuardSvc64.exe" -autorun
Service Type:  user mode service
Service Start Type:  demand start
Service Account:  LocalSystem

Are you some sort of dumb?

His OS blocks intrusive stuff ( as it should be ) and so he can't play and that is it.

Nothing to do with Toaster PC or NASA PC.

I have the same problem. The game freezes and the pc restarts. Waiting for a solution

Almost same story here - PC lags noticeably even on desktop after 1 session in the game and restart. It's obviously related to ACE, because same thing happened when I played Arena:Breakout which shares exactly the same anticheat.

same problem...

Same for me game just freezes for about a second every 30 seconds or so

[isoleitor]

Same problem, has anyone found a solution? It didn't happen to me before and I think it was the win11 updates.

also same issue here. I had one match today without any heavy stutter and then next match it was unplayable again.
