Tips for All Players
Issues Tips
Problem with Starting Game (FPS Issues)
- Try launching the game,opening up the task manager and going to details.
- From there find Easy Anti Cheat and right click on it.
- Select affinity and make sure you uncheckmark all the cores and have it run on only one core.
This fixed it for me, fixed it for others and might fix it for you if you are having FPS issues with the game firsthand and tried everything else to fix it.
Or you can just get rid of EasyAntiCheat altogether. Open the game directory, go into the EAC folder and run the installer. You should be able to uninstall there. THen back in the game’s folder add “.bak” to the end of “Launch_Game.exe” or move that EXE somewhere else. Then rename “sao_al.exe” to “Launch_Game.exe” and you are good to go. No more EAC.
