  • Hi @prodigy0330

    If you haven't already can you try repairing or reinstalling Easy Anti-Cheat to see if that helps at all? We also have a dedicated EA Help article listing troubleshooting steps. Please check that out, here.

    Let me know how that goes once you've had a chance to try it out. Thanks!

    Hello there

    After the latest update I find that I too am hit with this issue, before which haven't had a problem. 

    Tried the following:

    -Reinstalling the game

    -Running a command line system scan

    -Running Easy Anti Cheat repair software

    -Checking that  EAC and Squadrons are whitelisted in my anti virus

    My system is a gaming laptop which is a Dell Inspiron i7559-763BLK 15.6" Full-HD Gaming Laptop US Layout Keyboard (Core i5, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX960M) which has handled the game superbly.

    Attached is the error report.

    Hope we can resolve this 🙂

    Preordered this game a couple of months ago but just installed it last night and I'm getting an Error 26 message also. Just tried reinstalling the Easy AntiCheat software as recommended by Epic Games and got the same Error 26 message. My Squadrons game is located in my C: > Program Files 86 > Steam > steamapps > common > STAR WARS Squadrons folder.

    3 weeks that people have been dealing with this error and this hasn't been patched yet? What's going on?

  • Hi,

    I have had this same issue but I own the steam version, are you able to provide a more detailed reply with what I can do to resolve it in steam?

    I have tried moving the install folder to the C drive and this did not help. 

    Thanks, 

    Charlie
