If its a problem with a hackshield....well, Avast! has had such before, and so have other AV vendors.  Since anti-cheats are basically rootkits, they do have a hard time getting along.   What specific anti-cheat are you speaking of?
what do you mean?
I don't know what part you are asking about.  But to rephrase/elaborate,
1: Anti-cheat programs for online play are typically rootkits.  You might jump and think that is bad, since rootkits are always associated with infections.  But anti-cheats are and example of a friendly rootkit.  But since they operate just like their malicious counterparts, and AV companies are always trying to fight rootkits, they often have conflicted.
2: The name of the particular anti-cheat (there are different brands, AhnLab is one example) that the game uses would help.  This is something you would have to ask the DragonNest people.

That said, I would personally never install one of these just to play a game (and I am also quite the game junkie ;)), because it is a program operating with higher privileges than anyone is supposed to have under Windows, the potential problems that could arise from that have always kept me away.

AhnLab makes hackshield and its requred to play dragonnest which is an awesome game.
