Loads of steam reviews are bombing the game, because of the anti-cheat the claims are as follows:

ACE continues to run when the game is not running.

ACE continues to be installed when removing the game.

ACE is spying on people.

I have done some independent research of this anti-cheat (Which was hard without it trying to ban me) and I can conclude all three statements are false.

ACE does not run when the game is not running

You can check the services in CMD Prompt by typing

sc query ACE-BASE

sc query ACE-GAME

sc query "AntiCheatExpert Service"

All the drivers and programs remain stopped when the game is not running. There is no service which is secretly running, if the service is not running then its not spying on people when they are not in game.

I should note that other anti-cheats such as Easy Anti-Cheat and Battleeye and RIOTs Vanguard (All of these are Kernel level, actually run when your not playing the game, so this anti-cheat is better for privacy)

ACE continues to be installed when removing the game.

This is also false, I have tested on two machines and removing the game also removes the anti-cheat for me. Its possible that people who are reporting it not being removed have another game installed which requires this anti-cheat.

We should also point out when you uninstall Valorant their kernel anti-cheat does not automatically remove itself, this isn't an uncommon practice but from my testing ACE does get removed when you uninstall the game. If its not being removed its clearly a bug in the uninstall process, even if it doesn't get removed due to this bug the above shows that the service does absolutley nothing when the game isn't running.

ACE is spying on people

I cannot prove or disprove this, but there is also no real proof it is either. If you try and process monitor a Kernel Level anti-cheat it bans you. One thing I would say is we need to put this in context.

The gaming industry doesn't exist in isolation. Many companies and technologies collect data, often in ways users aren't fully aware of... literally you'll have apps on your computers now which are collecting your private data, even Windows itself is doing this.

Kernel Level anti-cheats are super common and some are more aggresive than others, like I said above ACE isn't actually running when the game is shut down unlike Valorant's RIOT Vanguard which runs when you switch your PC on and doesn't ever remove itself unless you manually delete it.

tl;dr I cannot say for sure, but if you play literally any of these games they all have Kernel Level Anti-cheat, most of these anti-cheats are owned by Chinese companies too.

Valorant (Always runs even when your not in game)

Escape From Tarkov (Always runs even when your not in game)

PUBG (Always runs even when your not in game)

Arma 3 (Always runs even when your not in game)

Call of Duty (Only runs when your playing the game)

Fornite (Only runs when your playing the game)

Apex Legends (Only runs when your playing the game)

Delta Force (Only runs when your playing the game)

My point is if people are really concerned about Kernel Level anti-cheat spying in this game, they wouldn't play any other popular games.
