Anti-cheat installed but says cannot launch due to Easy anti-cheat not being installed.

[Vepres]

Hello Brothers and Sisters,
I re-installed my game in an effect to fix my Invisible everything bug I was suffering from. However now the game refuses to launch due to Easy Anti-cheat being installed but it is installed. I even went into the files and tried the Start protected game option with the EAC icon. It initializes but says the EAC isn't installed. I went to epic games and installed EAC directly and still no dice.

I really am having a blast with this game even with all the bugs but now I cannot even enjoy the slightly flawed early access. Any advice would be appreciated since idk what to do since it's saying I don't have something.... that I do have. Half a dozen re-installs and I'm losing hope.

Also, I tried repairing and re-installing EAC to no avail, please help me every minute I can't play puts humanity and Holy Terra at risk!

Hello Brother.
Same thing with me. Googled a lot of solutions to similar problem for other games. In the end the following command helped: EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup.exe install prod-fn. It must be executed in the EasyAntiCheat folder (right-click on the game in Steam => Manage => Browse local files => go to the EasyAntiCheat folder => type "cmd" in the explorer (where the path to this folder is located) and press Enter, this will open the command line in the desired directory => run the command).

Following. I'm also unable to start the game due to it claiming EAC not being installed. I even tried the pinned fix, but notrhing. Yesterday the game worked flawless for me, 8hrs straight

I can't even activate EAC to install it at all doesn't exist so I know it isn't installed so basically its broken and Idk what to do also I tried this method gave me the red letters telling me it wasn't correct

[TheChobe]

Yeah, can't even boot the game because of the anti-cheat software "not" being installed. I suppose it works. You can't cheat if you can't boot the game.

[DarkPalady0]

still trying to get game to work, even after trying these workaround - anyone have other ideas?

When you open the EasyAntiCheat folder on Windows File Explorer, at the top an address is given which on Win11 looks like " This PC > Local Disk (C:) > ... > EasyAntiCheat > ", click on this address bar and type "cmd" and press Enter. A cmd will open, paste the command there. Goodluck brother.

[Sigurdr]

thank you. I will try
