Re: Fix the EasyAntiCheat!

Hey @SooperBoomer,

If you get the in-game EAC error that mentions "Authentication failure", a repair of the game (if you're playing via Origin/EA app) or verification of the game files (via Steam) should resolve this issue for you.

Have you tried this already?

  • @EA_Leeuw Tried that. Tried running the fixer in the EAC folder and tried deleting the folder altogether and letting Steam reinstall it. Only fix is to completely reinstall the game.

    Happened again today with the new patch. EAC kicking me from games now I have to do a new install AGAIN.

  • @EA_Leeuw Yes that was the first thing I tried. After that didnt work and it still kicked me from games I deleted the EasyAntiCheat folder and ran the verify files again. Still didnt work so I ran the EAC setup and repaired files there. That was my last hope and after that still didnt work I have to completely uninstall the game and redownload it.

  • @EA_Leeuw Yes until the next patch so far I have had to do this every time theres a patch like patch 1.1, patch 1.2, patch 2.0 and the newest one patch 2.1 every patch seems to break EAC installs
