How Do You Stop ‘LightingService (32-bit)’ From Crashing Games That Use Easy Anti-Cheat?
Officially EAC is blaming Asus Aura Sync for this issue stating that Aura Sync makes various hooks to "some DLLs" (we assume those could be DirectX dlls) More than likely this is a false positive, however, Asus isn’t the most reliable company when it comes to tech support so will more than likely never find out the actual cause.
To quickly and easily bypass the issue, the fastest way is to simply press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and end the LightingService (32bit) using the Task Manager.
