What triggers system integrity violation Arc Raiders?

Easy Anti-Cheat flags software or drivers it considers a security risk. Common triggers include monitoring software (HWInfo, MSI Afterburner), RGB apps (iCUE, Armory Crate), hardware overlays, virtual audio devices (VB-Audio, Voicemeeter), and OBS in certain configurations. Close or disable these and restart the game.

Is system integrity violation a false positive?

Often yes. Many legitimate apps (RGB lighting, streaming, monitoring) are flagged by EAC. If you are not cheating, close overlays and non-essential background apps, add the game folder to antivirus exclusions, and see our full ARAV error code list for code-specific fixes.

What is disallowed tool detected Arc Raiders?

"Disallowed tool detected" means Easy Anti-Cheat has detected a program it does not allow to run alongside the game. This can be cheat software, but also false positives like Cheat Engine (even if closed), macro tools, or overlays. See the ARAV error code guide for each code and fix.

How to fix disallowed tool Arc Raiders?

Close all overlays (Discord, GeForce Experience, MSI Afterburner), RGB apps (iCUE, Armory Crate), and any scripting or macro tools. Uninstall Cheat Engine if present. Enable Memory Integrity (Core Isolation) and Secure Boot. Add the game folder to antivirus exclusions. Full list: ARAV error codes guide.

Disallowed tool detected & false positives

“System integrity violation” and “Disallowed tool detected” in Arc Raiders mean Easy Anti-Cheat has detected something on your machine it considers a security risk. Many players search these phrases before they know the error code—this page covers what triggers them and how to fix them.

EAC runs on your PC and blocks the game from starting (or kicks you) when it detects software, drivers, or configurations it does not allow. The trigger can be actual cheating software, but often it is a false positive—legitimate apps that EAC flags anyway.

Common false positive triggers

Monitoring software — HWInfo, CPU-Z, some GPU monitors
RGB lighting apps — Corsair iCUE, ASUS Armory Crate, NZXT CAM, etc.
Hardware overlays — FPS counters, temperature overlays (e.g. RivaTuner with MSI Afterburner)
Virtual audio devices — VB-Audio Cable, Voicemeeter, similar virtual sound cards
OBS — in certain configurations (e.g. specific hooks or filters)
