Hello friends

I can't uninstall. Basically i uninstalled Diabotical, but the EQU8 folder and files remains in programdata. Is it possible to remove the anticheat easily and safely? Sorry for my english

At the moment the process is not ideal, it's possible to uninstall EQU8 by running Diabotical-Launcher.exe with the --equ8_uninstall launch command but in your case with Diabotical already uninstalled:

  • Go to Windows search and type cmd then right click on the command prompt and launch it as administrator
  • Copy-paste and run sc delete EQU8_13
  • Copy-paste and run sc delete EQU8_HELPER_13
  • Go to the ProgramData folder by copy-pasting %ProgramData% in the Windows explorer address bar and delete the EQU8 folder
  • Go to the System 32 drivers folder by copy-pasting %windir%\system32\drivers in the Windows explorer address bar and delete EQU8_HELPER_13.sys

Note that no part of EQU8 will be active without the game running.

We hope to make this simpler in the future

But do the steps in order or are there various solutions to the problem? Because yesterday I searched in the Windows search bar for this keyword "EQU8" and it came out of directory with two files and the file called "EQU8_HELPER_13.sys" in System 32. So then it is safe to delete the EQU8 folder and EQUE_HELPER_13.sys ?

All of those steps are required
