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.
children, the fix is simple
Go into your game files and delete a file called Cryptbase.DLL (It should be a file extension) and start playing the game with the millions of hackers and cheaters!
Only appies to those that had mods. But my post talks about other issues.
Oh ok.
I think they will delete the anti cheat and switch it out I think, someone told me that but I’m not sure
Running the main exe directly didn't work, and I can't locate a cryptbase file that was mentioned earlier (and I have hidden files visible). I deleted the anticheat files manually and it starts up normally till about to load int he backyard where it tells me I need to repair, so trying that now.
Edit: No go. It just reinstalls the anti-cheat.
Dear "Child",
its not that easy! Not everyone has the same problem.
If you get the report with the crash dump: youre right, you can just delete the filoe which you mentioned or reinstall the game. Both works. Ive tried it.
BUT there are other people which have the problem that even after you did one of the steps the game does not work. I just starts loading the small screen and after that nothing happens.
