Launch Error (30005) (CreateFile failed with 32.)

[Gness Erquint]

Couldn't start the game.
Error code: 30005 (CreateFile failed with 32.)

You implementation of Easy Anti-Cheat keeps interfering with everything possible.
Never had anything like this in other games.
For the longest times it broke the game's exit procedure and now can't even launch it.

This is persistent, except once in a while it will fail to launch silently.

funny thing is in 800+ hours I've never met a cheater, but I met several people unable to play the game since anticheat was added :/

does it seem likely that a cheater would post on a forums about not being able to play

This error code occurs often when your antivirus is blocking the function of the anticheat. If you could go to this thread https://steamcommunity.com/app/1568590/discussions/0/3801650156486024535/
try adding the links to your antivirus' whitelist

Well, to be honest I know some „cheaters”.
Some of them just tell each other roles/other info on discord, some of them use macro for fast clicking (which makes Pelican almost unbeateable in the last of 3 battle).
But those are the things you can't prevent and people will do it, if you play with wrong mates.

But updates like anti-cheat one or the one which hides nicknames of new-joiners or new-joiners are unable to type in chat... those one from my point of view don't stop anyone from cheating, but make other people play less comfortable.

But that is just my point of view.

I'm glad the game is constantly updated and you guys do your best in keeping it working and fresh with new stuff in game, maybe I just underestimate the amount of cheaters in the game like this...

I think we are in agreement that you do not have a holistic perspective on the type and amounts of cheating in the game. thanks for your feedback

[Cecko]

You're welcome, anytime, my dude.

We should be in agreement in the whole text I wrote, but I think one day you will get there too.

The game is going like a jerk ever since they put this anti-cheat thing up. I can't play on the PC I used to play on anymore because I get blue screens. the laptop burns, the lag is already a constant and now I have to connect at the same time from the mobile to be able to see the list of lobbies or when my turn to collect tokens begins (because in general it is not shown on the laptop). I don't know what kind of cheats you want to avoid, but I keep running into the same rabble of cheats as before, if not worse. if it's to prevent experience fraud: make its viewing private and that's it. and if I want to use vpn I will, I don't know what kind of fraud it is to use vpn, instead what is illegitimate is the traffic of players' personal information. I have never allowed anyone to use my information to put it in the game chat, and this has happened to me with your anticheat already active.

Sorry I didn't followup promptly.
The game's anticheat is behaving weirdly the whole time I had the game installed, especially crashing when trying to close the game. Otherwise works fine once I'm in game. But this time I couldn't even launch it to play.

Thing is, I don't run anything globally that would interfere with the game.
No resident anti-virus. And even the built-in Windows Defender is disabled.
I'm not sandboxing, hooking or debugging the game manually either — nothing.
I never really had anti-cheat issues with other games either.
Rechecking integrity of the files of course didn't help either.

The launch issue went away on its own after some time. I kinda assumed it was just a bug that gotten patched.

The closing crash still persists. I guess I can live with it, but would much prefer to know what's causing it.
