Introduction
If you want to disable the Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) for your 7 Days to Die server hosted on Searcade, follow this simple step-by-step guide.
⚠️ Note: Disabling EAC removes the game's built-in anti-cheat protection, potentially allowing cheaters to join your server. Make sure you implement other security measures if needed.
Steps to Disable 7 Days to Die's Anti-Cheat
1. Stop Your Server
Before making any changes, stop your server to prevent file corruption.
2. Open Your Server's Panel
Log in to your Searcade hosting panel and access your server settings.
3. Navigate to the File Manager
Find and open the Files section in your panel.
4. Locate the serverconfig.xml File

5. Edit the EACEnabled Setting
📝 Inside the serverconfig.xml file, look for the following line:
<EACEnabled>true</EACEnabled>
Change the value from true to false:
<EACEnabled>false</EACEnabled>
6. Save Your Changes
Click Save to apply the modifications.
7. Restart Your Server
