Use this tag for questions about anti-cheat software that games run to detect hacks, bots, macros, and memory tampering. This covers systems like XIGNCODE3, Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC), BattlEye, nProtect GameGuard, VAC, Vanguard, and PunkBuster. It fits problems such as launch errors and error codes, the anti-cheat blocking your client before login, false positives from antivirus or overlays (Discord, RivaTuner, MSI Afterburner), leftover kernel drivers, and clean reinstalls or driver conflicts on Windows 10/11. Also use it for questions about how these systems work or why they flag certain programs. Combine this tag with a game-specific tag (#crossfire or #cabal-online) so answers match your exact game and setup.
