Arena Breakout: Infinite Connection Failed / ACE Error? Here's the Fix

Arena Breakout: Infinite (Steam app 2073620) uses ACE (AntiCheatExpert), a kernel-level anti-cheat, so errors like 1-1704-30015228 and 7801113 are almost always broken ACE drivers or antivirus blocking them — not a game outage. Fastest fix: uninstall ACE from C:\Program Files\AntiCheatExpert, delete ACE-BASE.sys and ace-game.sys in C:\Windows\System32\drivers, reboot (they reinstall on launch), and whitelist launcher.exe and ACE-Client.exe.
