I'm in the same boat as @BLK-SQ_LukeTS117
I've already given up on playing this, uninstalled this as it is a waste of SSD space and a waste of money...Such a shame, really, i have many friends in the simming and space combat communities who would love to play it, but don't want to waste money on a game that doesn't work.
For those that are experiencing this problem right now, perhaps it's the same bug I experienced yesterday: Easy Anti-Cheat Error starting Squadrons: Untrusted System File vrclient_x64.dll - Answer HQ
As a workaround, try to install/update/uninstall and reinstall SteamVR (free on Steam) and see if that helps (yes, even if you don't have any VR hardware - for some reason Easy Anti-Cheat has had a problem when the SteamVR vrclient_x64.dll is missing and/or outdated since yesterday). That workaround worked for me.
No luck!
I was having this same issue. I was using Steam. I did the following but do not know for certain if it is why I can now play without issue.
I noticed my OS drive had less than 7 GB free so freed up about 29 GB. I also shut off Windows Defender and installed AVG. Again, I do not know if either of these actions affected my inability to get the game to work, but the game has started after repeated attempts without issue.@EA_Ericsorry for the random ping, but it seems @EA_Stafford and @EA_Tom do not exist anymore...
Can you please have someone look at this issue? All of us can't launch the game at all.Thanks
- @BLK-SQ_LukeTS117 Well damn... Can anyone ping an active community manager to follow up here?
Alright,
ive got it working. For everyone who's having this problem, you HAVE to do a full reset of your pc. why or how, i dont know, but reset +reinstall windows form pc worked. my gam just launched, so ima enjoy a game of SW squadrons. as far as i know, there is NO other way to help out with this problem, and believe me, ive looked far and wide...
- @BLK-SQ_LukeTS117 Hey, sorry if i don't jump to a fresh windows install every time a game decides not to work.
I'd honestly rather not bother with this game if it requires me to reinstall windows. What if it doesn't work? Or stops working after a while? Should i reinstall every time a buggy game feels like causing trouble?
Sorry, but that's asking too much.
Please forgive me for not marking this as an "Acceptable Solution", since this solution is not acceptable to me. - @neo_razgriz yeah ofcourse, no worries. but it doesnt seem to be a problem from EA, but more of an EAC (easy anti cheat) problem. for example: halo maste chief edition wouldnt launch ( works on EAC ) same for rust ( also works on EAC ) all with the same problem: it wouldnt go past the EAC splash screen. i dont think you'll find your answer here, i think if you want it properly fixed you need to go bug EAC
- @BLK-SQ_LukeTS117 I tried, but they only have an online form which states they will get back to me within 2 weeks time.
I've filled it 3 times already, and waited a few months, but didn't get a reply.
There is no other way to contact them for support. That's why i was hoping EA has a back-channel to talk to them I have the same problem with a new intel build with a 3080 rtx graphics card. The game runs fine without EAC but I can only play single player then. If I start the EAC launcher, the splash screen just disappears. I find the game dumped on startup but there are no EAC errors in the EAC log. HELP!
Having same issue with the Steam version Star Wars Squadrons. Haven't played it since the update but gave it a whirl during the holidays and can't get beyond the EASY Cheat splash screen. The splash screen disappears and the Squadrons icon is removed form the task bar. Steam tells me the game is still running. Task manager tells me the game is still running but somethings not right.
I've:
verified the files
uninstalled and reinstalled Squadrons
tried to run in VR mode and non VR mode
Altered my screen resolution
Changed the high DPI settings
uninstalled Steam VR and Reinstalled
- @hunterdanm and also done a clean boot.
- @hunterdanm and updated nvidia drivers

I put in a report a week ago. I had to choose “other” for the game as it isn’t in their list. No response. Everyone just puts their head in the sand.
