I'm also having this issue. I can play for about 10-15 minutes, then the game crashes with the same error. Then, any time I try to re-launch the game, I get the error.
If I reboot, the whole cycle starts over. I can't figure out why it's happening. I don't have anything in particular running, I've only got Windows Defender. I'm in Win 10 1903.
Adding some details:
When sakexe.exe loads, it tries really hard to create this file:
I:\Games\Ragnarok Online Transcendence\data\texture\english\À¯ÀúÀÎÅÍÆäÀ̽º\
I see about 400 CreateFile operations targeting that folder, all returning PATH NOT FOUND.
Mixed in those ops, I see a single one that is different:
CreateFile I:\Games\Ragnarok Online Transcendence\slicence.txt
This throws NAME NOT FOUND. I can confirm slicence.txt doesn't exist in that folder.
After the multitude of failed CreateFile lines is where I see about twenty threads exit, followed by ProcessExit of saxexe.exe. As it exits, it creates a bunch of registry keys:
It also, for some reason, plays around in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2. From this point, it closes, and then EasyAntiCheat.exe seems to do some cleanup of its own.
I've noticed EasyAntiCheat constantly ripping through my machine certificates and crypto capabilities. Don't know what it's looking for in there, but it's invasive as hell. Oh, and most of the time it tries to read certificate blobs from the registry, it blows Buffer Overflow.
