Driver Security Requirement ​

Your system must use standard Windows driver security settings.

What Is the Issue? ​

Windows appears to be running in a mode that allows unsigned, test-signed, or otherwise non-standard drivers.

This configuration is not supported by SARD Anti-Cheat.

How to Fix It ​

  1. Restart your PC normally.
  2. Make sure Windows is not running in Test Mode.
  3. Avoid tools or boot options that disable normal driver security protections.

Additional Steps ​

If the issue continues:

  1. Run Windows Update.
  2. Remove recently installed system-level software that may change driver behavior.
  3. Restart your PC again.

Still Not Working? ​

Contact support and include your Support Code, along with a short description of your system configuration.

What Is This? ​

This check confirms that Windows driver-loading protections have not been relaxed. Anti-cheat protections may not work correctly if unsigned or test drivers are allowed.
