![]() ![]() Hard-stopping kernel-mode services is not the way. Manually trying to unload the kernel-mode services immediately (using sc stop) crashes my system, even though they're marked as stoppable. The kernel-mode drivers get unloaded completely, you can verify this with Nirsoft's Driverview. The ACE-BASE and ACE-GAME services take a while to gracefully unload (about 2 or 3 minutes on my system), but also stop eventually. This is good, and in line with what other anti-cheat services (BattleEye, EAC) do. Unless a different bug (AntiCheatExpert Service sometimes not closing after game close) is triggered, the first service shuts down gracefully when you close the game. It makes sure they can be loaded without any permission issues. ) put their kernel mode drivers here as well. This is (imho) a bit of bad practice, but a lot of other tools (HwInfo, Process Explorer. Windows/System32/drivers: ACE-BASE.sys and ACE-GAME.sys. Programdata/AntiCheatExpert (a single *.dat file) ![]() Program Files/AntiCheatExpert (main files, service exe) It also puts files in the following places: "ACE-GAME": kernel-mode, loads sys driver We think about the Vandal to be the finest Archetype in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt. Archetype Power: Rejuvenating Voice - Heals yourself and nearby allies while channelled. ![]() "ACE-BASE": kernel-mode, loads sys driver Final Act - Instantly refresh your cooldowns and enable the use of powers when downed. This is the service the game interacts with, and the only one you'll see listed in the services overview (services.msc) "AntiCheatExpert Service": user-mode, controlled by SvGuard64.exe. The anticheat (developed by AntiCheatExpert), installs 3 windows services: The developers have been very communicative and helpful with me to get this issue resolved. So please, don't go spreading FUD about this anti-cheat solution. There is currently no indication that there's anything even remotely fishy going on when compared to other AC solutions like BattleEye and EAC. My report here is about the uninstall procedure. Important: The user-mode service is not running when you're not running the game. If you're not comfortable doing that, the easiest way to get rid of everything is re-install Bloodhunt, run it once, then uninstall. If you've previously uninstalled bloodhunt, there's a script on the support page you can run. I have verified this on two systems: all anticheat executables and services are uninstalled. Update: A small update has been deployed to fix the anticheat uninstall procedure. It has also been independently confirmed to me multiple times that this is a top priority for fixing.) This is mildly annoying, and probably a bug. "Expert Anti Cheat" service (and the kernel-level services "ACE-BASE" and "ACE-GAME") are still registered as windows services when the game is uninstalled from Steam. ![]()
