[CRASH] League anti-cheat flagging Black Desert Online as third party enhancement software

It's unclear to me if this is a result of the most recent LoL build or the BDO patch which went live this week. One of the two is not playing nicely with the LoL client's anti-cheat software. BDO runs XIGNCODE3 in the background to prevent cheating in that game. There has been no issue between the two until this week. Having BDO in the tray for AFK in-game activities and then playing a game of League is kicking me out of League. I think at one point League has used XIGNCODE3 as well, so this came as a bit of a surprise, but I tested closing different programs I had active until the crash/kick stopped.

The test to reproduce would be to have BDO open and in the tray (minimized). Begin playing a League game and it will eventually begin booting you to the client where you can reconnect. The next boot takes probably 15 - 30 seconds to happen again. Closing BDO will stop this from happening, so I've concluded that it is the offending software (or some thing else that runs along with it like their anti-cheat XIGNCODE3). I can't run BDO and its anti-cheat in isolation as closing either closes both.

Here is a reddit thread which is likely the same issue: https://old.reddit.com/r/blackdesertonline/comments/f2jcqt/i_cant_play_league_with_bdo_in_the_background/

This seems unintentional, considering it was not an issue for years. I'm not using BDO to cheat in League afterall... I'm not sure if this would be a fix on your end or on the part of the BDO developers. It is the Riot anti-cheat with the false flag, so I've created the report here.

What is BDO?

rubberduckie6662/15/2020, 10:16:42 PM2 votes

its because BDO has a rootkit in its files for some reason, which is commonly used for viruses, cheats etc

IncStrike2/17/2020, 3:56:43 PM2 votes

I already contact the supp and at the end he gave me the tip to just play 1 of those games at the same time :/

I've put in a direct ticket and cited this post. Thanks for chiming in everyone else who noticed this issue.

We got the largest post of the weekend on this sub, afaik, but I'm not sure if these are really monitored in retrospect. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Fun, I can't play League anymore while BDO is in tray mode.

Nayriko2/21/2020, 6:44:30 AM1 votes

Still a huge issue! HALP!!

Yenki2/19/2020, 12:58:14 AM1 votes

Same, it keeps disconnecting me until I decide to exit BDO for good. It's been months and Riot hasn't fixed the friendlist issue, idk if they will fix this.

Daddy Sett UwU2/17/2020, 4:18:30 AM1 votes

Same problem. It's pretty annoying since I need to do my afk grinds :I

Mechastorm2/19/2020, 1:43:25 AM1 votes

Same issue here, can't play both games anymore. League crashes after around 5-10 min in game after detecting Xigncode. Every subsequent relaunch boots me out within a minute or two afterwards.

Każuya2/23/2020, 11:36:05 PM1 votes

Same crashes here, nothing when BDO isnt open and crashing after 10 min in game (and every minute if reconnect without closing BDO) when BDO is open. Closing BDO resolve the problem, but we don't want to lose AFK money

[zombie-brand-facepalm] Riot......

Mewden2/20/2020, 11:17:16 AM1 votes

So, can we know when this will be fixed? :/

Zaack2/20/2020, 7:25:43 PM1 votes

Same problem here, any information if Riot has planned to fix it ?

Tâlon2/20/2020, 8:05:06 PM1 votes

Yup, same here, still possible to run one game at a time, but massive loss for bdo players as afk=money -_-'

WeLeaveItToFate2/18/2020, 5:07:27 AM1 votes

Yeah can y'all fix this trying to play league but I gotta keep my processing on bdo going to do that. Can't just keep BDO down gotta keep the money flowing for gains.
