How to Disable Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) on your 7 Days to Die server

Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) can kick players off a modded server, because it blocks files that don’t match the original game. If that’s happening on your server, turning EAC off usually fixes it. Here’s how.

Disable EAC

1. Open the AleForge Panel.
2. Go to the Console and stop your server.
3. Open File Manager.
4. Open serverconfig.xml.
5. Press Ctrl + F and search for EACEnabled.
6. Change the line so it looks like this:

<property name="EACEnabled" value="false"/>

7. Save your changes.
8. Go back to the Console and start your server.

Caution

Use plain straight quotes (") when you edit the line. If you copy the text from a web page or document, it can turn into curly quotes (“ ”), and the server won’t read the setting correctly.

Good to know

• Crossplay needs EAC on. If you turn EAC off, players on other platforms won’t be able to join through crossplay.
• Players may need to restart their game. If someone launched 7 Days to Die with EAC on, they should close the game and start it again without EAC before connecting.
• To turn EAC back on, set the value to true and restart your server.
