wont load cause of easy anti cheat.

[Cootitrius Thickumsworth III]

i played this game when it first came out and liked it but i stopped for a few and re-downloaded it. But for some reason my anti cheat wont let me play i tried every thing verify file, reinstall it, and i looked up videos on how to fix it. But hears the catch when i click on my anti cheat file it wont come up so i'm wondering if anyone else has this problem and has a permanent fix for this cause i would like to continue playing it.

Did you verified your files?

[OneShotAi]

I have the same problem, and have verified, reinstalled,checked the PC meets the minimum
requirements etc, now when launched it just becomes unresponsive.

[FamouZ_PT]

You have any anti virus? Maybe it is blocking the program exe. Disable anti virus and try again

[HeyIamGR00T]

Bro he just said he did a scan. READ or just dont answer. ANY WAY its not virus protection either for most people anyway. same thing happened to me anti cheat wont load and is unresponsive. Even after contacting gray zone help desk and easy anti cheat i got no where they were also all very unprofessional in their discord so dont think you will get any help there. I had to delete the game 3 times and reinstalled it on my C drive. i also moved it 3 times....I finally got it to work. I have 3 external hard drives and 3 internal but none would work. I try to keep my C drive clean and free with as much memory as possible but this stupid god forsaken game will just not allow it. Once on the C drive i can load anti cheat and update it my self and now the game runs perfectly fine. As far as i know there are zero things online about this just a few thousand people with the same problem and absolutely no help from the devs or online community. Hope this helps it took me a month to get it working i just wish i put it on my C drive to save me over 10 hrs of trying to figure this dumb sheet out over the course of 27 days.

For anyone experiencing game loading issues caused by the anti-cheat system, you can try the following steps:
1. Ensure GZW is Not Affected by Firewalls or Antivirus
Configure Windows Defender:

• Navigate to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall.
  
• Select Advanced settings and highlight Inbound Rules in the left panel.
  
• Click New Rule.
  
• Choose Program and click
  Next.
  
• Select This Program Path, then click Browse.
  
• Add the following path:
  
• steamapps\common\Gray Zone Warfare\GZW\Binaries\Win64\GZWClientSteam-Win64-Shipping
  
• Click Open.
  
• Allow the connection.
  
• Check Domain, Private, and Public.
  
• Name the rule "GZW".
  
• Repeat these steps for:
  
• steamapps\common\Gray Zone Warfare\GZWClientEAC
  
• C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat_EOS\EasyAntiCheat_EOS

2. Configure Your Antivirus
Check your antivirus software’s guide and add an exception for GZW files.

Weirdly I managed to solve this exact same issue by deleting easy anti cheat/files manually, deleting Gray zone then installing fortnite so EAC is installed via the fortnite installation, then re installing gray zone.....no idea why that should work but I also had tried everything else!

[St3fyu]

They're unprofessional? well, judging from the way you jumped down peoples throats in here and how that's likely how you behaved towards them as well, lol.
