The Asus Aura app hooks in to DLLs which can be exploited in the game and as such gets locked out by EAC. ---

You could make a batch file to do it for you. For example, I run one to disable Windows Defender. That way you’re at least mostly-automating the process. ---

Does yours not work if defender is running or does it just work better without it? I may try disabling that as well. ---

It’s an old i5-3570k and gameplay sucks when Windows Defender decides it needs to scan\_all\_the\_things. It turns back on all by itself in around 4 hours after turning it off manually. ---
