EAC broke the game on the latest windows 11

[Fetiz]

When updating to the latest Windows 11(22621.1778), Easy Anti-Cheat seems incompatible with Windows 11 Hardware-enforced Stack Protection.

Already tried reinstall EAC, verify the game files.

I know we can disable it to run the game successfully. But Apex Legends and other games with EAC can run smoothly without any issues.

Is it possible for FS to update the version of EAC to make the game work again on the latest Windows 11?

Windows 11 sucks with ER and has done for months i guess you didnt check how bad it is. I will send your thread to db an IT expert see if he can help

[breadman]

it's not eac that broke it, it's the win11 update

you have to disable kernel mode hardware enforced stack protection

EAC at this game is at it's Maximum Settings, causing that kernel stack protection is incompatible and also most preview Updates of Windows are incompatible too.
22621.1778 is a preview could cause a kernelbase.dll error in eventviewer with start_protected_game.exe

if you get the 30005/1275 error, It is caused by new Windows 11 Feature called kernel stack protection you can workaround the problem by deactivate this windows Feature.

Type into your taskbar

core isolation

deactivate the kernel stack protection
restart windows

if you have not this error you have a other problem

Why would you use Windows 11 in the first place?

Lmao at the people blaming Microsoft for protecting users from invasive kernel drivers by default. This puts pressure on publishers to not include this kind of dogsh*t in their games.

it seams you do not know this "security feature" is a bugfix for a CPU internal hardware security hole created by the use of virtual cores and has nothing to do with invasive kernel drivers.

microsoft force this way that driver and software developers need now a expensive windows 11 certification to be able to code software for shadow stack usage.

All ransomware, malware and trojans that kernel stack protection is designed to protect against have been updated to abuse an internal Microsoft structure to gain shadow stack privileges.

The so-called security feature is already absolutely useless against any kind of malware

Have a reputable source, or a lengthy explanation to provide, such as backing up your claim?!


I would tend to agree with you, security measures can be defeated, but plain saying that security measures are useless, is simply careless and untrue!

It is still useful for past malware, that have not been updated.
Updating a piece of code, especially when touching stack rights, is not an easy task.

So even if the current malware have been updated, it can protect against old malware or old piece of dangerous code.
Avoiding to grant malware usage access, to a huge part of the users!
