I think I'll split of the last thing into a new thread here to keep things separated. The <$LOCALAPPDATA> issue is fixed (path templates were loaded too late for this to work).

I remember some communications with EasyAntiCheat about it. As written in that other topic about it, we're looking into our archives to check the outcome of that :)
