  1. How Can I reinstall EAC


    I accidentally deleted EAC and I saw a few questions and it said to click the setup files and run it as an administrator, but when I do it asks if I want it to make changes to my device and I say yes. After I click yes it just closes and nothing happens how do I get EAC reinstalled on my computer. I also have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Fortnite because I saw that that might reinstall the files but it did not and was wondering how I could fix this issue.

    :)

  2. Failed to start EAC client.

    Hello. With a clean install of Win 10 I tried to run Trials Rising & I get an error message "Failed to start EAC client". I went to the EAC folder & ran the .exe as admin, the installer said EAC wasn't currently installed. The installer appeared to run
    fine. The game still wouldn't work. After numerous "repair" attempts to EAC, uninstalling Trials, Steam & Uplay & reinstalling, restarting the computer etc., I've had no luck. It appears that EAC isn't installing even though it says it is. About 2 or 3 weeks
    ago the game worked fine & it seems to me that I've seen EAC in the list of installed programs when removing programs before. Maybe I'm wrong about that, but if it should be there after being installed, it's not there. So maybe something's preventing it from
    installing? I'm wondering if something about a recent Windows update has broken something. According to the build release dates on Wikipedia a new one has come out on Nov. 12 (from 1903 to 1909). Also with the new Win10 build my Logitech F710 gamepad driver
    will not load, so I'm very suspicious that the new build has changed things causing these problems, at least for me. Unless it's some setting that I'd coincidentally changed before that I haven't gotten around to changing in the new install yet. The same problem
    has been occuring with other users since well before the latest Win10 build so maybe it's a setting I'd changed before, I have no idea. I've Googled for solutions to the EAC problem & all I could find was the standard stuff (verify game files, uninstall/reinstall
    everything, restart computer etc.) & one thing about removing .NET 3.5, but it already wasn't checked in Windows Features so I checked it & tried everything again. Still no luck. I even tried turning off Windows Defender & installing EAC then trying to launch
    the game & no luck. What could be causing EAC not to start, or even install?

    BSOD by EAC DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    For some reason everytime any game using EAC windows just bsod's and it is the EasyAntiCheat.sys file that failed and I Have done all kinds of things to try to fix it from deleting it so it gets remade once the application launches and reinstalled EAC
    and even updated all my drivers. I have no clue what else I can/have to do to fix it.
