LightingService.exe is activating EAC anti-cheat on games

[Nifol]

Built this new system around a X470 ROG Strix-F and now when I go to fire up a game that uses EAC for anti-cheat, Dirty Bomb in this instance, I get this



and am unable to launch the game. I've raised this with EAC and the reply I got back was this

Thank you for contacting us.
The software in question uses vulnerable components that can be used for cheating or cause unexpected errors. That is why we recommend closing this application before starting the game. If the developers fix the vulnerabilities, we will add it to our whitelist.

Let us know if we can help you with anything else.
In the meantime have a great day!

I don't really want to close the application before playing as I have the LEDs set to moniter temps, and neither should I if I'm being completely honest.. So, what are the chances of whatever the problem is being rectified?

Same here... Latest Aura Installed today and now Ghost Recon will not start.

Republic of Gamers indeed.

Same exact error for Friday the 13th: The Game. Have to manually stop the service in order to play.

Same here so I've submitted a ticket to Ubisoft.
Don't hold your breath.

It's not ubi that has to fix this, it's asus. Submit a ticket to asus they need to be aware of this.

So this is happening only for the latest version of AURA sync (v1.0.6.95)?
