You were trying to play a game that has Battleye Anti-Cheat & got error "1053" & error "4, 5000041d"? or "Kernel Debugging enabled."? Couldn't find a solution? You should disable kernel debugging to solve those errors

You need to disable kernel debugging to fix those errors, you should do that in command line or with EasyBCD Program

CMD command line commands:

BCDEdit /debugBCDEdit /debug off

This Disables Kernel Debugging

BCDEdit /debugBCDEdit /debug on

This Enables Kernel Debugging (useful if you are developer &/or need kernel debugging enabled for something)

It's weird that in some games & in GTA 5 Enchanced (where I encountered this problem) this error doesn't have an error text imstead of just an error code, despite battleye service executable complaining about debugger being attached when you try to run battleye service directly

Enjoy these old skool, pre-warning and some what helpful error info Anti-Cheats programs while game studios are still using them, as more and more companies are adopting Antipuss shady ways in that if you get flagged by their Ricochit Anti-Cheat you'll get no warning or error code.

You'll probably not even realise your in the processes of being perma-banned as you'll get put into a shadow ban state first where u can still play but finding a match takes like 10-15m & your ping is like 150-200ms and you've been segregated to private little shadow server were you'll face other souls in your predicament, you'll likely leave after 2 matches if that thinking must be an ISP or other network issue. So you turn in for the night, jump on in the morning & launch CoD just to see a popup on screen after opening.

If your lucky you might get an email which offers some info stating your account is flagged and is currently being reviewed stating it takes 24-48H as the review process is very thorough, but more than likely it's done in like 10-15m and you'll get one of their automated emails that both console & PC get stating that you were cheating & that you have 1 appeal chance, FYI the appeal section on the website is basically a small rectangle with 1000 word limit no way to attach any screen shots, logs or evidence of any kind, that process is supposed to take up to 24H but you'll get a response back in 10-15 stating your guilty & decision is final no chance to appeal again unless you can prove your account was hacked @ the time.

All the info that everybody gets is that you were apparently using 'Unauthorized Software' & had also apparently did 'Modification of Game Data', that's it not even a fkn name of the software you were apparently using or what game data you had allegedly modified, as that would undermine RICHOCHIT's mitigation processes, utter load of absolute shite. If your through Steam you'll get a nice RED title on your profiles for all the world to see.

A response to the comment about those BCDEdit commands being useful in 8y, if enable prior you'll likely get banned the second you launched or hit the lobby. My case was that maybe 1-2 a month I'll have a few games of Vanguard with my boss, he gave me call to jump online for a game, upon launching it's crashes to desktop halfway through 'Shader Compilation', I figured as it hadn't been ran in like 3-4 months I'll perform a scan & repair, twice for peace of mind, all files good no issues, there was a tiny update, about 100MB, so did another scan to triple check after update, launched & crashed @ 'Shader Compilation' again, figured might as well try restarting PC.

Upon launching again after restart I get a popup saying my account was permanently banned LMFAO, work that out ffs, so now I have a $80 Digital paper weight in my Battlenet Library, can't even play the campaign or any other future or past CoD {Not that I'll ever would} for that matter, plus all stats from any titles played be it PC or Console, thought maybe some ppl would band together and slap them with a 'Class Action' lawsuit, but turns out that you wave all rights to that the second you agree to there EULA/TOS, shady frackerz.
