Game won't launch because of cheat engine

[Khailik]

So my game won't launch because it says I have Cheat engine running but I don't ... soooo yeah.... anyone have any advice on how I can get by this?

Try this:

Game fails to start when EAC is enabled, but runs without EAC
Possible workaround for some users:

It is caused by an instruction set (FMA3) which your CPU doesn't seem to have. msvcr120.dll tries to use it anyway (some bug causes it to think your CPU does support FMA3).

Replace the msvcr120.dll in <7 Days to Die path>\EasyAntiCheat\Launcher\Bin64 by the file in this zip (as always, make a backup first) :

Credit for fix goes to DerPopo on official forums.

I have the same problem, If you right click the game title on the left while on the steam library page it gives an option to start without anticheat. Click that, it's the only way I can get the game to run.

Yeah my server can't be played without anti cheat though.

But does the game launch if you turn EAC off? Just to confirm.

Also it would help if you read this topic: How-to report an issue!"

It's a pinned topic in the Bug Report section, where this topic should have went in the first place, so I think its fairly important. :)

Yes it does launch with EAC off

Did you try iGoldenGopher's suggestion? He posted a possible work around.

Also close ALL background running applications including virus scanners or other various protection suites. Turn off everything and anything you don't absolutely NEED to have running. Does the game still think you're cheating?

Verify the file integrity. What about now?

Why turn everything of when the problem is already known.... bozo "I know how to help" idiots mass-repeating pointless and crap advice. The FMA Issue is confirmed by Microsoft so why couldnt you just go "Yeh its that solution one of the first posters posted" instead of "ZOMG TURN EVERYTHING OF" Idiocy which if anything, would likely cause MORE problems.

[Valmar]

Such bitter hyperbole. I did specifically ask if iGoldenGopher's suggestion worked. The OP never said if it did or not.

Also the reason I suggested turning everyone off is that EAC can sometimes mistakenly think certain applications are cheats programs. Not everything is compatible. It's not like I told him to disable services - he can just restart his computer to turn all the stuff back on if it doesn't work.

Apparently the toxic bitterness has overcome you my friend. Perhaps you just didn't get your afternoon nap in or simply find someone's support never wanted? Either way if you are that dis-satisfied with any help, I would suggest you stay off the forums all together. Cheers.

Turning off garbage programs people have running for no reason...causes problems?

I think you have it backwards...I dont disagree the OP should research the first suggestion.

But if it hadnt been provided, looking for and turning off possibly conflicting programs is the first step.

EAC has to be installed manually, it is the folder with the Teddy Bear Icon & I can not remember it might have to go in your user file like PB..
