Anti-Cheat issue

  • Validated install, it ran once, after finishing game crashed. Now it just keeps stating that the anti-cheat is not installed. Validated that as well. Less than a week into the game, this feels a tad off. Anyone else having this issue?

    Did that, had to go manual install so I know it completed and ran once, then the game itself crashed, after verifying everything is installed, in place and validated it still says the AC is not installed, sorry should have been clearer. Still not working, have a ticket in for this. (PC steam user)

  • Ok, took 3 installs of EASY AC to get it to take. Gonna let support know that's what it took and close ticket. Thanks for the reply RealStyli.

    Yeah, that's actually good intel, that it can take a few tries to work. Support may need to add that as a note at the bottom of that page.

    Similar issue here, game crashed at first giving me the 'EAC detected local file integrity vioaltion: Unknown file version' error.
    Validated the install and now I get the EAC not installed error.

    There's a lot of stuff to iron out!

  • Same issue for myself.

    I installed SoT and decided to come back after a few years off and now this.
    I followed the link and nothing changed, same error!

    I've done a ticket for support and about to uninstall the game!

  • Similar issue here, but when I try to run the Easy AC exe as admin, it opens a window for a split second that immediately closes itself so I can't even try to install/repair the program. I've already tried all the other suggested steps and uninstalled/reinstalled the game.

  • i have the same issue

  • Still have the issue, but I am playing via the Xbox App/Microsoft Store. EAC - Unknown File Version(SoTgame.exe), Launch Error: Unrecognized game client. Cannot Continue.

  • Do any of you having issues with EAC have any other games that use EAC and do those work? Maybe the EOS version specifically? I think maybe Rust uses it.

    Might be worthwhile checking the EAC support site to see if any symptoms appear there: https://www.easy.ac/en-us/support/game/guides/installer/

    There are pages for Hardware verification, checking for rootkits, reading the log files, etc... that might help.

  • @d3adst1ck Diablo is fine. Elden ring is fine.

    I have the day off & just finished a 3 hr sesh with an old sot buddy I haven't played with in a min.

    No hazelnuts for either of us. I'm pc/steam he's on Xbox (series s I think).

    I played a few times on Sunday and I think I had 3 hazelnuts over both sessions. Another pc friend (I think MS version) had hazelnut every time we started an event, dove to an event, dove in HG, and had folks dive on us.

    Edit: realized after posting that this was regarding the game not starting up, not crashing after run. My mistake.

  • @lycanthropy101 Was this resolved then ?

  • @robocop2806 Yeah, sorry, just saw this. Steamplayer so I don't logon here often.

  • @demogrim yea i have the same issue. Did you fix it? if yes, how?

  • I had this issue, I ended up installing SoT onto an external hard drive along with Fortnite (which uses EAC) then copying the EAC file out of Fortnite onto the main external drive. Not sure if that last but makes a difference but it’s worked :)

  • @p4ntychri5t can you elaborate on what you did?

  • same issue with xbox app on pc. i do not have steam but still receiving this error. i can not play this game.what an update ?!?!!

  • I know a Pirate who cannot sail the seas due to Anti-Cheat Issue. Sea of Thieves says that it isn't 'ere when it is (Game says that there is no Anti-Cheat, when there is one)! Hopefully such issue and other Anti-Cheat Issues will be resolved.

    For those on the MS Store/Xbox App version, try the support page solution but instead of going through steps 1 and 2 to find the Installer .exe, go to whatever drive you have Sea of Thieves installed on and the folder XboxGames\Sea of Thieves\Content\Installers (e.g. C:\XboxGames\Sea of Thieves\Content\Installers)

    Then continue from step 3.

    It may take a few attempts but, if successful, there will be an EasyAntiCheat_EOS folder within your Program Files (x86) folder.

  • New player here. I'm experiencing this issue on Steam version.

    Apologies if this is not the format for this forum. Internet Search yielded going to Properties, then Installed Files and then Verifying the Integrity of Files.

  • @lordyates6623

    Hey I'm having the exact same issue and was wondering if you had found a solution?

  • I had a similar issue with Halo MCC, making sure the drive it was installed on had "Compress this drive to save disk space" unchecked fixes the issue

  • Same Issue, I got the game on steam, and just not opening, crashing with the Anti-Cheat issue, Macbook Pro M2, tried through many different emulators, same issue every time.

  • @demogrim same here
