After the new EA anti cheat update the game won't start.
At first it gave me an error, saying; EA AntiCheat Service encountered a system error. Please run the EAAntiCheat Service installer.
I had 2 options, Reinstall EAAntiCheat or Close I've tried the reinstall button and it gave me an new error saying; EAAntiCheat installation failed. Please reinstall game.
So I did. And the same problem happened again.
At that point I have looked at internet for problem solving. The solution I found was to use the EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe which can be found within the game folder [C:\Program Files\EA Games\Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2\__Installer\EAAntiCheat]. I've tried to repair it, delete it and update it. Deleting it loops me back to the same problem at first, update and repair does the same thing, which where I am sitting now;
I start the game, EA anti-cheat splash image comes, the bar on the bottom is all gray, I wait a solid 3 minutes (which is way longer than it should be), then it jumps to the end to about 95%, closes, opens the game, the "starting video" starts I skip it, wait 5 seconds while it is trying to connect, crash, back to EA app.
I do not use any anti-virus apps, other than the Windows anti-virus, of which I have turned off just to try and see it still not work. I have downloaded the game 3 times. Tried to open the game from other ways and as admin.
After I made this post I went and tried to open Ow2, got a similar error message, gone mad, did an "Memory Diagnostic" the "mdsched.exe", started the extended scan, gone to 20% had no more patience, now both games work? Man I don't get it but I'm happy 🙂
