EAC 7003 error authentification error #374

Description

@SullivanNagler

Hello ! 
I’m relatively new to Star-Citizen, and i’ve found to be on nixos unstable with open nvidia driver and kde plasma 6 and tried lug-helper, how worked and the installation when relatively smoothly, but when i connect to LIVE, about to connect to the demo during the loading process, i’m shown a 70003 error anti-cheat authentification failed. Any idea ? (i’ve tried : https://wiki.starcitizen-lug.org/Troubleshooting/easy-anti-cheat but not "Use a Wine maintenance shell to run wineserver -k to kill any lingering wine processes in your prefix. Reboot if necessary." as i’m not sure of the correct way to do it)
Thanks for your time ! Sullivan (fr) setup : Operating System: NixOS 26.11
KDE Plasma Version: 6.7.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.28.0
Qt Version: 6.11.1
Kernel Version: 7.1.3 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 32 × Intel® Core™ i9-14900HX
Memory: 64 Gio of RAM (62.5 Gio usable)
Graphics Processor 1: Intel® Graphics
Graphics Processor 2: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU
Product Name: TUXEDO Stellaris Slim 15 Intel Gen6

I’ve think SC was lost to linux due to EAC back to the end 2025,
Thx for all your dedication and time, it’s amazing to see so much effort for linux in so many way !
