Error: Easy Anti-cheat Is Not Installed

Description

The Easy Anti-Cheat service has not been installed which is a prerequisite for the Easy Anti-Cheat driver to load.

This may have failed due to the game’s install script not correctly handling service installation, or something blocking the installation process when the game was installed.

Steps to resolve

Navigate to the game’s root directory and look for “EasyAntiCheat” subdirectory. There you should find both of the following:

  • EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup.exe
  • Settings.json

Once there, follow these steps:

  1. Copy the productid field from Settings.json
  2. Open Command Prompt as Administrator
  3. Navigate to the EasyAntiCheat subdirectory by typing in cd <path>
  4. Run the command: EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup.exe install <productid>
    • It is normal that no text is output. The next command will confirm that it worked.
  5. Run the command: echo %ERRORLEVEL%
    • If you see 0 then the install operation succeeded. If you see something else then it failed. Make sure you are running an Administrator Command Prompt and try again.
