[FIXED] Easy Anti-Cheat does not allow to launch the game

[Revan]

==== Warning: you won't be able to play online (but I don't want to) ====

Launch the game using the <path-to-game>\starwarssquadrons.exe executable.

Steam users also need to create a text document called steam_appid.txt in the game folder with the contents 1222730 as otherwise launching <path-to-game>\starwarssquadrons.exe directly will not work.

An alternative method is to rename <path-to-game>\starwarssquadrons_launcher.exe to something else and then rename starwarssquadrons.exe to starwarssquadrons_launcher.exe as this will bypass the Easy Anti-Cheat launcher when running the game through e.g. Steam's library. This method will have to be reapplied after each update.

==== It worked for me (2nd Feb 2024) ====

I created the TXT file with the given number as the only content for it. After launching the game by double-clicking starwarssquadrons.exe it worked as expected.

This unfortunately didn't work for me.
