What makes this even more strange, is that I actually remember literally a few days ago, where I could Fish or do whatever AFK, while playing another game that also uses EAC (Smite). However, this just started having issues again ever since the December 10th 2021 Update. Now, I did hear something like, if both games run the same version of the EAC, then it should theoretically work.

allways worked for me but the recent days it started giving me errors aswell

I was fishing afk in BDO when it all of suddenly closed because of EAC. It kicked me out because the software thought that my PC case fan controlling software is a cheating device (it's called Fan Control) . I'm just waiting the game to kick me out because I use Razer Synapse, Corsair's iCUE or Microsoft Word.  It sure seems like a malware sometimes.  I hope it doesn't read my keyboard inputs. 

For sure I'll be choosing controlling airflow of my PC over BDO if it start to do this more frequently.  I got MSI motherboard and it's quite clunky to adjust fan curve in BIOS. :)

bdo in back round cant play apex or othere game with EAC

as of now Pearl abyss if u want me buy pearl box make EAC fix this or find some thing else
