Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

I have been crashing consistently since this season, Chapter 6 Season 3 (Super), started, but recently Windows has been showing me the pictured error every time the game shuts down, Anti-Cheat Error 0xEAC02009. I have verified files, completely uninstalled and reinstalled both UEFN and Fortnite, and done a few other things within the files themselves as shown in this tweet: https://x.com/shawkab/status/1951751526088929538 . Nothing has fixed the issue for me.

My PC Specs are:
Processor Intel(R) Core™ i9-14900KF (3.20 GHz)
Installed RAM 64.0 GB (63.8 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
