New update is literally unplayable for me (Error code 0x65636155 BSOD)
TLDR: PC BSOD with error code 0x65636155 (ACE anti-cheat) every time I try to launch the game.
I liked the concept of ABI, being free to play, and having many QOL features that only SPT brought to Tarkov. The advantage ABI has for me over SPT is the ability to play with friends and being an officially supported platform. While I enjoy the mechanics and gameplay loop of extraction shooters, I really dislike the "sweaty" pvp nature of them. Most of these games have cheaters, super sweats, and defined "metas" that really limit viable gear and playstyles, which is why I've been asking for a good PVE extraction shooter since I started watching Tarkov on YouTube.
ABI seemed like a good platform for a PVE mode since I first tried it back in the first season, so when they announced the new PVE mode for season 6 I decided to update it and give it a try. Unfortunately, I immediately got the BSOD with the above error code. Of course, I scoured the net looking for solutions and tried a few of them. I made exceptions in my antivirus for the game file and 4 individual .exe's and I'm still getting the same error. I did see someone say they had success by completely disabling their antivirus, but I'd rather just go back to SPT before taking that drastic of a step. Hopefully this gets fixed, but after messing with it for 2-3 hours at this point, I'm done. #FIXYOURGAME
