Swapping to Vulkan triggers false anti-cheat positives.

Basically title. I don't have any background applications open and I don't have any apps for any other game open either. I'm a new player, and one look at my account will prove I'm the furthest thing from cheating you can get...

I do not have any false positives that get flagged when I am on DX12 and login doesn't give me any warning. But when I swap to Vulkan, upon the next time I log in, the game gives me a warning about how "I will only get this warning once" yet I can still log in fine and everything.

I tried Googling to see if anyone else had this issue, and from what I could find, apparently other people are experiencing this bug and they couldn't get any actual responses from you guys other than "We can't provide more info" which honestly isn't a good or acceptable response for such a noteworthy bug.

If it isn't actually flagging the account, then that's fine, but it still frightens players when they've been casually playing and having a good time, then suddenly they are accused of cheating when they've never done anything of the sort, all because they get better performance on Vulkan. This needs to be addressed, not ignored.

No other game has ever given me any sort of issue when using Vulkan, and it honestly can't be that difficult to keep the system from triggering based on that alone. If it's something running in the background, it shouldn't be my responsibility as a consumer to dig through and figure out what could possibly be causing this ONLY on Vulkan. It should be the responsibility of the developer to ensure that the game, at its very basics, doesn't falsely accuse players of things they've never done simply for changing a graphics setting, and somehow it triggers some kind of domino effect of breaking things that the consumer likely can't even see.

I know the game is early access, but this is honestly such a major blunder that shouldn't make it into the game whatsoever... If you're having issues getting a renderer to work correctly, then maybe remove it until you can figure it out...

If I sound impatient, it's because I am, and the fact that other players have essentially been shrugged off due to this issue, is quite frankly, disrespectful.
