Anti Cheat Game Wont Start

Comes to find out when launching the game, it'll update your anti-cheat service to version 0.3.2.2. This version will not start on your computer startup. Instead it'll return with this error if you try and manually start it.

This is one way to fix the 'Easy Anti Cheat not Detected' which prevents the game from opening.

Manually Installing Easy Anti Cheat


  • How anti-cheats detect Cheat Engine or other memory editors: An anti-cheat cannot simply detect memory being scanned unless the memory scanner is changing protections of the regions (which isn't done) or if they hook functions (afaik most don't do this), so here are some ways they can tell if a memory scanner is present.
  • The game start perfect in the old version, but I can’t restore Windows. The game doesn’t start after update W10 Insader 20150 prerelease 2. Problem Anti-Cheat.
One way to fix this issue is to manually install Easy Anti Cheat if for some reason it didn't automatically install itself (Like with my game).
Go to: SteamsteamappscommonRising Storm 2BinariesWin64EasyAntiCheat
And start the program EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe (This installation requires administrator access).
Open up the tab and scroll down to Rising Storm 2 (it's in alphabetical order) or type in Rising Storm 2.
Click Install and just go through the installation steps. Then just re-open RS2 and that should be it.
Of course, there could be cases where this doesn't fix it, in which case I'd suggest uninstalling EAC and verifying the integrity of your files via steam to reinstall it and try this again.

When starting the game, EAC fails with Error Code: 20006 (Cannot create service (StartService failed: 2)).
This is a fresh install of the game. I'm not trying to play online. There is no information on this specific variant of Error Code 20006 (StartService failed: 2) on Easy Anti Cheat's website.
Starting the game in offline mode still throws the same error. This is incredibly frustrating. Please address the faulty anti cheat protection or at least bypass EAC for those of us who are not interested in online play and have no need for cheat protections.
