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?

Sadly 6 months on and the issue is still there, I wouldn't mind keeping it closed but the lighting resets to default each time I turn on my PC.

Same issue, I just kill it with task manager though.

Mine also with ghost recon.
Got game to launch by copying the anti cheat file from (like) system 32 to system wow32.
Stopped the anti-cheat but have to disable lighting services which kills the lighting on the board,
but game will launch.

Hi,

Can you try version 1.06.17 of AURA Sync.

Hi Asus
I tried to do what you asked with ver 1.06 but it still DID NOT WORK.
Put 1.07 back on
What did work to launch game was going into task manager
And stopping lighting service.
So stopped lighting service = game launch with no rgb lighting
Lighting service On or running = rgb lighting but NO GAME LAUNCH.

Also if helps in aura it is set to add strip and can't switch it back to motherboard.

This only sets the lighting, if you disable it after boot, the lighting remains running as configured. So really it should just run, set the lighting and shutdown. It does not need to be a service.

You can disable the service before playing a game protected by this easy anticheat junk.

Hit start, type services, hit Enter.
Hit the L key until you find the lighting service.
Double click and hit stop.

It will still start up automatically the next time you fire up your computer, you just stop it in your current session.

I shouldn't have to do this every time I want to play a game. I like my lights.
