Curious as to why this happens. My bet is on Ubisoft tampering in windows kernel space. Probably some copy protection or anti-cheat BS

Aren't all of these SP games? The fuck they need anti-cheat for?

I was curious too, and... Avatar appears to have a co-op mode. Not really high stakes for cheating.
