Uh, what ? EAC

[SuperSwine]

"The game was started without EAC. Multiplayer matches will not be possible"

What exactly does that mean ? o.O

[ᴅᴜsᴛɪɴ ᴡᴇᴇʙᴇʀ]

means you did not run the game through steam

Easy Anti-Cheat. It's basically a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ version of VAC and something of a resource hog, since it scans your machine as you play. I still get performance hiccups because of it.

If you're not interested in multiplayer then there really isn't a problem without it.

Could easily be a Easy Anti-Cheat glitch too. No one ever said that service was flawless (or recommended)

That message means that EAC, the game's anti cheat and anti mod system, is not active for some reason. You will be able to play the game as if you were offline.

The cause of the "error" is either from the program itself derping, or any edit you may have done to the game files (mod managers and such). So if you have not modded anything and are playing the game full vanilla, try restarting your computer/ If the problem persists, do a file integrity verification (right click game title on Steam, then go to properties>Local files to find the option).

lol resource hog? dont see how, even when I only had 8gb of ram I had no performance issues.
EAC is nothing like vac since it doesn't ban you. It only scans the EXE file for things that are connected to it (Cheat Engine, XV2 Patcher, Unautherized DLL files)

Maybe he's driving a potato? You can feel all hits with that...

True, lots of people are installing this on their laptops

Pelo que eu entendi tbm, esse anti-cheat impede pessoas com o sistema operacional linux de jogar o modo online. Eu mesmo tenho o pc com esse sistema operacional e aparece pra mim, provavelmente esse é o motivo. Triste 😢
