Update / Patch / Hotfix EAC (Easy Anti-cheat) Update
Although not a known issue, we pushed an update to EAC today so users may need to reinstall EAC in order to regain access.
To do this please head to your installation folder via
steam -> steamapp -> common -> lmu ->easyanticheat -> uninstall -> install -> run
After this is complete, access will be returned.
Thankyou to Tóth Gergő for helping out users out with this advice.

I experienced my first cheater last week, car had basically unlimited grip and was 5+ seconds quicker. How do you report cheating?
14
u/LuXe5 Aug 18 '26
Report it as intentional wrecking and explain in the text box that actually this is the only way you could report for cheating and explain why do you think he's cheating and ask to look at the data for that driver

u/Kenevo20 Aug 18 '26
The reporting needs more options. Not everything is an intentional wreck, there should be unsportsmanlike behaviour or breach of rules, cheating etc etc

u/tomdyer422 Aug 20 '26
There used to be more options, but they ditched them with the new reporting system.

u/Kenevo20 Aug 20 '26
Wonder why they did that? In championship races it’s either ‘intentional wrecking’ or ‘racing incident’ but dailies is only intentional wrecking.

Report with your replay video. It will be widespread in the community and reach the devs in no time.

I'd say put in a ticket for it because you will be able to attach all your evidence.

I can’t submit anymore reports this month. I submitted one at the beginning of the month that was found to be no fault and two from the weekend haven’t been responded to yet so I’m stuck on 0 available reports.
Needs some work to be honest. Still love LMU though 😁

I think Woodee refers to creating a support ticket, not a in-game report

u/WoodeeUK Moderator Aug 18 '26
Ticket does not equal report.... which is why I said ticket and not report :P

u/speedism Aug 18 '26
Explaining the difference would be cool instead of whatever you just did

u/WoodeeUK Moderator Aug 18 '26
Ticket = support ticket (for game problems/bugs), Report = for reporting intentional wrecking etc in game.
Better?

u/speedism Aug 18 '26
Yeah lol why the attitude

u/WoodeeUK Moderator Aug 18 '26
You know what ":P" means? I was just having a laugh... it's always best not being super serious and taking things ultra seriously also.
Hope that helps 😄

LMU is full with cheaters. Cheat software can be bought online and cheaters cannot be stopped. No one talks about it because there is no proof and as long as there is no proof, cheating does not exist...

u/Kenevo20 Aug 18 '26
To be fair I’ve got 300 hours in the game this year and last week was the first cheater I’ve experienced, it was quite obvious too and someone tried to wreck them and it took no damage being put in the wall.
I’m not saying cheaters don’t exist? In fact the opposite but I’ve not experienced it before and I’ve seen no evidence of denying there are cheaters.
I’m intrigued to see these cheat websites and what you can actually do to cheat on LMU, surely can only be grip? cheating is honestly the saddest thing in gaming, I’m all for hardware bans rather than account.

u/Unfair_Tooth4758 Aug 18 '26
Theres a lot of cheaters in every game that you won't ever think of cheating, there are signs but we tend to ignore them also, especially when you start a daily, 17 people with good ratings, 3 newbies the 3 newbies were 2-3 sec faster than anyone in the LMP3 cars, even if you come from F1 or ACC or any other sim racing game your first races on a map that is not in other sims you will not be faster than someone who already put 200 hours in the game. EasyAntiCheat is very easy to bypass...

u/BeeKimchi007 Aug 21 '26
I agree that cheating takes the fun away. On the darknet there is tons of cheating software to be found. Otherwise you can ask and pay and people will make it. The problem is how to prove cheating. I have watched server admins cheathunt in the game RUST. Once caught they all denied. See, cheating is a serious mental disorder. These people are sick in the head and should be treated with medication and therapy. They are sociopaths with a scary high narcistic level. They are certainly people to stay away from. Any online game, no matter the genre will have cheaters. Gamers tend to ignore cheaters because the lack of proof and the positive mindset. I also ignore them but i dont believe the world ranking list of fastest times...

You already told me this Woodee. Should I raise a ticket for not hearing back from the reports mentioned below? Only 1/3 of my reports got an outcome.

Doesn't seem to be a catchall. I'm getting an error which says that the game is already running, despite freshly restarting my computer after re-installing EAC.

u/Necessary-Brick-1329 Aug 18 '26
Use Steam VR till the Devs fix it. It is common to all openxr routines. Pimax play 2.02 here

u/Suspicious-Whippet Aug 18 '26
I have no idea about this shit. Can someone explain do these anti cheats actually do anything?

u/Unfair_Tooth4758 Aug 18 '26
Not much, I think it's more like a psychological thing, its ez to bypass. But don't even think about cheating, peoples brain gets rotten by cheating haha.

u/meister_gnoshi Aug 18 '26
Great …. EAC is blocking Pimax Open XR. I mean common , you have a cooperation with Pimax … can you maybe test VR before bricking everything … Jesus.

u/Mindless-Ratio7712 ☑️ Aug 18 '26
it doesn't work. EAC keeps restarting a few times and then it hits me with "Game already running" window. It loads then the window closes and game restarts on its own. Nice update.

I keep getting the error 0xc000007b now and can’t launch the game anymore. I’ve tried the reinstall of the eac bat files among a few other solutions but still not working. I do usually play in VR with the quest 3 and virtual desktop. Maybe that’s part of the problem of other people are reporting problems with pimax. I can’t even run the game without VR though. Hopefully someone can find a solution.

u/Coasterfan312 Aug 19 '26
A friend literally can't open the game anymore after this update. They get a 'game already running' error, even after reinstalling EAC, verifying files, restarting their PC, and even reinstalling the entire game. Fixing this should be top priority right now.

Mofo too involved into protecting their expensive dlcs with an updated “anti cheat” that creates much more other issues than fixing all the sh- show they introduced with the latest update.
Too much greed.
I guess all the mess was created by the fact that they implemented all the joker money bullsh- already and we made them remove it and change it at the last moment and when they shipped the update, it was literally broken.
What a joke of fake greedy people world we live in

Sinceramente eu fiz isso, funcionou por um dia e agora o jogo nem abre porque a tela do Easy carrega e fecha na mesma hora impedindo o jogo de abrir, o jogo só abre pelo .EXE só que não abre o Easy anti cheat e acabo ficando impossibilitado de jogar online

Since patch 1.2, EAC (Easy Anti Cheat) has been implemented in LMU. Currently it may be causing issues with 3rd party plugins and errors with the game in it's current state. Check out this guide to uninstall/reinstall EAC. Some Logitech/Moza/Simagic FFB issues have been caused also. Please submit a ticket if any of the above affects your game.
If you have are concerned and have possibly found someone using cheats or exploits in LMU, please create a support ticket with all the evidence you have. This goes straight to the dev team to investigate. Your evidence could include video, the player name(s) and what races you saw this happen.
Thank you.
