After latest patch this old problem has reared its head again- lost 3 days play last week because of this
Same for me, first time receiving this error. I've verified the files multiple times. I've completely uninstalled (and deleted the few files and folders left behind) and reinstalled multiple times. I've removed background applications (I even shortly disabled security). Nothing is working.
My launcher shows the following version: vAOC-CL-434126
My game once loaded shows the following version: 20251228002-434126
I have the same question.
same AOC excuse 5
same issue here
Hi, guys. I had the same issue as you did. I deleted the Macfees, and it works now. Hope this helps.
I have the Same problem, Macfee has been removed , its been outa date for some time now anyways, Still didnt fix it.
Same issue for me as well.
Ive also Verified the steam files a few times aswell, still a no go
I've reinstalled twice and verified 3 times, once after the first fail and once after each reinstall fail. I've also tried resetting my router. Still getting the EAC error 5. Going to go hiking, maybe it will be fixed when I get back later today.
I have the same problem i unistall and do it 3 times in a row and validate files and nothing… can someone help us?
This appears to be a conflict between Easy Anti-Cheat and McAfee (maybe other security software too). The only solution that has worked is to uninstall McAfee. Just turning off the scanning functions (files and connections) is not enough. You have to completely uninstall McAfee. This is not a good solution. Just one that works. The real solution is up to the dev team. They either need to clear this up BEFORE they release each update or drop Easy Anti-Cheat and go with a different cheat prevention method.
No offense, but when a game doesnt work because it conflicts with your anti virus, thats a Dev problem. under no circumstance am i turning anti virus off for a game. Easy anti cheat is the problem, they just wont admit it. sort it out people.
@Mepps
Any advice from the Devs here?
Been having this issue since release to steam every update this game gets i get this errror. Yes it sucks but i have to wait at least a day to be able to get that update installed. idk why. Yes it is the Anti cheat for sure!
