Anti-Cheat Authentication Failure

After the patch today, 2/24/25, every time I try to enter the game, it opens to the menu, I click continue, and once past the long black screen, the menu opens and is super choppy and laggy, and after about 20-30 seconds it boots me and says that "the client something something, failed to authenticate the anti-cheat" and boots me to the beginning again. I tried repairing the anti cheat files, but when I click on the application in my files it just won't open or let me repair. I followed the steps on Easy AC website to run command prompts to repair it and it still has the same issue. I even deleted the game, redownloaded it and still...nothing. There is no option on the anti cheat website to reach out for help, only endless forums.

  • having this exact same issue, i have tried countless solutions, currently trying for 5 hours to fix, no avail

  • I'm still having this issue and have no idea what to do. Tried filing a support ticket and got re-routed to yet another forum suggesting things I've already tried. About ready to just delete the game out of my steam, and give up, because wtf am I supposed to do. The game boots me and says I'm not running the anti cheat, even though I deleted and re-downloaded all the game files and checked them for their integrity. very annoying.

  • ive been having this issue for weeks idk what i did to fix it i tried literally a million things and then just one day i was able to play. It first started after the release of the new season couldnt play for days. then one day it just worked and fixed itself i guess, now i played last on 2/22/25. and i tried to play today and now it says "the client is not running the anticheat" like how bruh i was just playing a few days ago, its honestly pissing me off.
