Does PingAim Help in Throne and Liberty?
More about Easy Anti-Cheathow it works · what it blocks · known conflicts
Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) is active in Throne and Liberty and operates at the kernel level. EAC installs a signed kernel driver that runs at ring-0 during gameplay. Players have reported EAC errors including 'untrusted system file' (kernel32.dll and other system DLLs), 'Kicked by Easy Anti-Cheat (41)', and 'Kicked by Easy Anti-Cheat (47)' errors. EAC 47 was a widespread issue post-launch that NCSoft addressed. The kernel-level driver means EAC can detect and block unsigned code injection, unauthorized drivers, and memory reads from external processes.
VPN and network optimizers
Network optimization tools (ExitLag, LagoFast, GearUp, WTFast) are widely used with Throne and Liberty without reports of EAC bans. EAC monitors the game process for cheats — not network routing. However, standard VPNs (NordVPN, etc.) carry a small theoretical ban risk if detected as suspicious by Amazon Games' account systems, though no confirmed ban cases related to VPN use have been found. Network-layer tools that do not inject into the game process are safe.

Why ping matters in Throne and Liberty
Latency sensitivity HighPing noticeably shapes the experience.
Throne and Liberty has action-style combat with active dodging, directional skill aiming, and timed ability combos. The game's netcode is server-authoritative with no confirmed client-side prediction — dodge inputs must round-trip to the server before the character moves. Action-game tolerance research (Raaen 2014, https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:837521/FULLTEXT01.pdf) finds noticeable degradation around 100ms and major degradation past 200ms. At 100-150ms ping, players reliably miss dodge windows and experience position rollback (rubberbanding). Large-scale PvP content (castle sieges, guild wars) involves 100+ simultaneous players and amplifies server load, making even players with moderate ping experience lag spikes and positional desync. Community reports consistently rate latency as a critical factor in competitive performance. However, purely PvE content (questing, dungeons) is more tolerant of up to 150ms.
About Throne and Libertybackground, studio, esports scene
Throne and Liberty is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by NCSoft (via its FirstSpark Games division) and published globally by Amazon Games. Originally released in South Korea in December 2023, the global version launched on October 1, 2024 for PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S with full cross-platform play. The game is built on Unreal Engine 4 and features a dynamically shifting world where day/night cycles and weather conditions alter gameplay mechanics — players can transform into animals or environmental creatures to traverse the world. The endgame centers on large-scale PvP including castle sieges (Conquest), guild wars, open-world PvP zones, and structured battlegrounds. PvE content includes large world bosses requiring dozens of players and instanced dungeons.
Throne and Liberty is published by Amazon Games in the West and Japan, meaning server infrastructure almost certainly runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS) — a strong inference given Amazon Games' established pattern with New World and Lost Ark. The game launched with 21 servers across five regions: North America East, North America West, South America East, Europe Central, and Asia Pacific Northeast (Tokyo). Following significant player count decline after launch, NCSoft and Amazon Games announced sweeping server consolidations: in February 2025, EU servers were merged, and on March 12, 2026, NA-West, SA-East, and NA-East were unified into a single "Americas" region, leaving three active regions globally — Americas, Europe Central, and Asia Pacific Northeast. The game uses Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) which installs a kernel-level driver, blocking process injection and DLL injection into the game process.

PingAim detects Throne and Liberty automatically
No manual config. PingAim identifies Throne and Liberty by process name and routes it through your fastest connection using a kernel-level WFP driver.
When does PingAim help — and when doesn't it?
PingAim helps when...
- Phone 5G tethering — route TL.exe through mobile while keeping home WiFi free for other devices
- WiFi and Ethernet both available — PingAim picks whichever reaches AWS faster for siege traffic
- Streaming or downloads running on your main connection — separate game traffic to a clean interface
- Congested home WiFi during peak hours causing ping spikes in castle sieges and guild wars
- Dual-WAN router users who want TL.exe specifically on the lower-latency WAN
- Wrong interface selected by Windows — PingAim forces TL.exe to the correct one
- South American and Oceanic players where a second connection path shaves 30-80ms off the route to Americas or Tokyo
Won't help when...
- Only one internet connection available — a second connection is required for interface selection to help
- Already below 80ms to the nearest AWS region on your current connection
- Lag caused by server overload during peak-hour castle sieges — server-side issue, not your network
- FPS drops or GPU/CPU bottleneck — not network related
- Easy Anti-Cheat is a kernel-level anti-cheat — use PingAim's signed WFP driver mode only and do NOT enable DLL-injection mode for TL.exe, since EAC blocks process injection (kicked by EAC 41/47 errors are common when something interferes with the game process)
