You can easily just terminate easy anti cheat as a running service from your task manage. This causes the game to show a crash message like the game is closing but the game never actually closes and now there is no easy anti cheat service running while I am in game.
Thank you for the report! We’ll look into it.
You are wrong hidden processes are still running you just can’t see them. Besides, I don’t know why implement something like that in a PvE game.
