Re: Game won't start after anti-cheat loading

Close your corsair software and try again.

I managed to get EAC to throw this error:  Error 30005: Create File Failed With 32 

but only once and I couldn't replciate it, I deleted the EasyAntiCheat.sys as per articles when googling.

Random clue if it helps anyone, the process starts loading something and runs up to ~1.5GB memory usage and 6% CPU for a few seconds, before it all dwindles down to 0 and 9MB (always exactly 9MB)

Have you check through this list? https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us/articles/360007853137--PC-How-to-Resolve-Most-Easy-Anti-Cheat-Errors

Things that also block EAC could be backup software and/or cloud software.

Better idea, do a clean boot of windows then repair EAC.

Yes some programs may affect EAC but a clean boot should disable everything.

Okay follow my last comment and if it fails disable any thrid party antiviruses, VPNs, backup software you may have.

How come this topic has been marked "SOLVED"? 

Nothing in this thread helped.

Best regards.

Its so players are aware that this issue is being looked at by staff, we are currently trying stuff out also because the fixes we have already tried did not work and we are currently looking at what individual apps could be causing the issue.

Current plan:

Somekind of App is preventing EAC from working.

We need to find that app and disable it, or clean boot windows. ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd )

Then repair EAC with admin rights.
then hopefully the game will work.

Im just waiting on players replies if it fixed the issue

@The_Tibber  I only have Bitdefender (there's bitdefender VPN but it's just trying to upsell it to me, I don't use it), however on the offical EAC page it marks it  as 100% compatible and whitelisted. I've also added exceptions. There is no way to completely disable bitdefender, you can turn off modules, which I did while testing, but yeah, I will do a fresh windows install when I get some time

Ahh okay.

I personally try to avoid third party antiviruses and stick with windows security.

If I do come across a virus I usually use malwarebytes if windows security fails and that is usually if i instal something sketchy :P

Before I process a refund from Amazon, do we know if EA are even working on a fix for this game ? When they say it will work but you get a double load error and issues with anti-cheat......why is it seriously so difficult to fix ? Playing 15 minutes in total since launch is ridiculous. Wasn't the trial period and early release supposed to have identified issues already ? Have people been abusing the trial.exe somehow ?
