Accepted solution by Nina Ueda — run fltmc in an elevated terminal and driverquery /v to see loaded drivers. Anything from a tool u no longer use is a candidate to remove.…
  1. since yestreday a fighting game closes instantly. the only clue is this error:

    i reinstalled teh game and the anti-cheat servcie and restarted twice... i do have an old RGB control utility on this PC, which Ive had for years without problems... did something cahnge, or is it just a coincidence?

    the weird part is that nothing new was installed recently, at least not on purpose... maybe something updated itself in teh background? 😂 i honestly cant tell anymore. im about to throw this thing out the window lol

  2. wait is Secure Boot enabled in your BIOS, and does Windows Security show any incompatible drivers?

  3. Most kernel anti-cheats log teh exact driver they reject. Check the anti-cheat's log folder (usually inside the game folder or in %ProgramFiles(x86)% under the anti-cheats name) and look for a .sys filename 😅 that tells u exactly which tool is responsible.

  4. lol same thing happened to me old RGB, fan control and hardware monitoring tools often install outdated kernel drivers (for example ones based on WinRing0).. :D update teh tool to its current version or uninstall it completely, then reboot. just closing teh app isnt enough because the driver stays loaded. hope that helps :)

  5. Accepted solution

    run fltmc in an elevated terminal and driverquery /v to see loaded drivers. Anything from a tool u no longer use is a candidate to remove. good luck man!

  6. sometimes its not a driver at all but a corrupted anti-cheat install... repairing teh service first is quicker than hunting drivers. but hey ymmv

  7. @nueda-2ma removed the two old drivers Windows Security listed and the anti-cheat starts fine now, bonus: Memory Integrity can be turned on again.
