Many people have very strong opinions on kernel-level anticheats. I don't, but I think it's always good to make sure programs/games you uninstall are -fully- uninstalled without leaving remnants on your PC. Should you decide to try the game out and then uninstall it at a later point, you can do this to make sure everything was removed properly:
Open Windows Powershell / CMD as admin and type the following commands:
sc delete ACE-GAME
sc delete ACE-BASE
sc delete "AntiCheatExpert Service"
sc delete "AntiCheatExpert Protection"
then type
sc query ACE-BASE
sc query "AntiCheatExpert Service"
if it says these services are running, reboot open CMD/Powershell as admin again, then type these commands one after the other to remove them:
sc delete "AntiCheatExpert Service"
sc delete "ACE-BASE"
Find these files and folders and delete them (shift+delete to permanently delete them)
Program Files/AntiCheatExpert
ProgramData/AntiCheatExpert (hidden folder, so make sure to select show in View panel)
ACE-BASE.sys in system32/drivers
Open Windows Powershell / CMD as admin and type the following commands:
sc delete ACE-GAME
sc delete ACE-BASE
sc delete "AntiCheatExpert Service"
sc delete "AntiCheatExpert Protection"
then type
sc query ACE-BASE
sc query "AntiCheatExpert Service"
if it says these services are running, reboot open CMD/Powershell as admin again, then type these commands one after the other to remove them:
sc delete "AntiCheatExpert Service"
sc delete "ACE-BASE"
Find these files and folders and delete them (shift+delete to permanently delete them)
