EAC Integrity Violation: Untrusted system file (C:/windows/system32/lpk.dll)

[Harley]

Every time when I try to connect some server in 7dtd game- I have error "EAC Integrity Violation: Untrusted system file (C:/windows/system32/lpk.dll)" No changes into files in OS. Last updates were installed around 2 weeks ago. I tried to run "sfc /scannow" - no errors. I checked system by antivirus software - no virus. Same problem with lpk.dll witn all games based on EAC - like as Miscreated, Hurtworld, Rust and etc. My OS Windows 7 x64 SP1 with all latest updates.
OS can`t work without lpk.dll file. I have BSOD (bad image) when I try to boot without lpk.dll Also I tried to replace with other version of lpk.dll - same BSOD (bad image) after reboot.
Anybody know how to fix it?

Did you verify intergirty of game cache?

That Dll is for language pack stuff.

[Harley]

Yes, I tried to verify. No results.

You should use virustotal.com to check that file to make sure it's legit.

EAC is saying the file isn't signed. That means it may not be a valid system file from microsoft.

Go to the website (virustotal.com) and click on the file tab in the web page then select the file to scan. It'll scan it for you and let you know if it gets detected by about 30 or 40 anti virus products. It's fairly handy for the majority of viruses and malware out there.

Dont think this is the same as the OP but may be related.

After the Beta Test Mode new update today, every time I try to launch the game BitDefender says it is a virus and deletes it, I had to white list my temp directory to get the game to run.

It has something to do with anticheat triggering a false possitive, I have seen it mentioned alot a while back, everyone had bitdefender.

I used virustotal.com service - no result, no any virus.

Well that narrows it down to an EAC issue then.

Have you tried reinstalling LPK.DLL? if you google that file name there are some microsoft pages on trying it.

Also why only SP1 with windows 7? have you tried updating your SP to the last one? I think it's SP3?

[Harley]

I wrote that I tried to replace lpk.dll with other version - result - I have BSOD.
Where are you found SP3 for Windows 7 OS? SP3 never been for Windows 7. Official SP only SP1.

Have you tried uninstalling EAC as in the total reinstall procedure

Uninstall / Reinstall Procedure for Troubleshooting

Then verify 7DtD files via steam.

Make sure EAC service is not running. You could also look at Programs and Features control panel applet to make sure it is uninstalled.

Then reinstall EAC. by running setup again.


Have you tried sfc /scanfile=C:\Windows\System32\lpk.dll

[Harley]

I tried only repair/uninstall service for EAC.
I`ll try uninstall procedude that you recommend me.
My primary language is Russian, second - English. (initially installed OS Windows 7x64 SP1 RUS)

looks interesting

[Harley]

Hmm... I`ll try it too. Reinstall display language.

Also, if EAC cant conmect to autoupdate or download new file hashes or whatever, it may be left with its starter set that is in the install. -- firewall or antivirus issues.

Run windows update after adding language packs. It is possible you may have to manually download the last service pack and reapply it and then run windows update.

Oh ok. I havn't used windows 7 for about 3 years now. I thought that was SP2.
