    It is definetly EAC (Easy Anti Cheat) and Webroot issue.... I found a good anti virus top rated,  Total AV, so I installed that and uninstalled webroot to see and the game loads right up !! Its on sale for 20 instead of the usual 100  ...  Hopefully something is fixed about this problem soon !!

Easydriver load screen states this at the end. Game played fine before recent December update. 

Still fails to launch with Webroot disabled.

Still fails to launch after system restart.

Still fails to launch after uninstallation and re-installation of game.

    I have spent hours trying to fix this error. It was working fine before the patch.

    I have Webroot. I refuse to uninstall Webroot when it works with everything else. Yes I tried disabling it. I think that is part of the issue and it is somehow interfering with Easy Anti Cheat.

    Tried admin mode, tried patching/repair of game, tried moving it to other drives (off my NVME and back to a normal drive). I've restarted, read countless threads, gone into the registry...

    Pretty lost. It's not a DX12 error - haven't done anything with that yet?

      @inducefear Webroot is not the problem. The latest update (12/08/21)
      is the problem.

        I agree. EA really is trying to set fire to this game. Fail after fail.
