Easy Anti-Cheat

Gears 5 uses Easy Anti-Cheat, an industry leading cheat detection and prevention tool, to ensure a safe, fair and competitive environment for players across both platforms.

If you are experiencing issues with Easy Anti-Cheat, please follow these steps provided by Easy Anti-Cheat:

1. Verify connectivity to Easy Anti-Cheat
2. Update Windows
3. Update the game
4. Close all unnecessary programs
5. Manage your anti-virus

Verify connectivity to Easy Anti-Cheat
Ensure you can access the Easy Anti-Cheat Content Distribution Network by following these links.

• https://download.eac-cdn.com/
• https://download-alt.easyanticheat.net/

You should see the message: '200 - HTTP OK'

If neither of the links display the expected message, make sure that nothing is blocking your Internet connection. If necessary, add Easy Anti-Cheat and the game folder to your firewall exception list or temporarily disable your firewall. Sometimes connection
issues are caused by incorrect network router settings. For further assistance, contact your Internet Service Provider.

Update Windows
System files that the game relies on may be missing.

• Make sure all the latest updates for your operating system are installed.
• Install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables.
• Run the following command with Administrator rights to repair corrupted system files: sfc /scannow Follow this guide for instructions on running a
  command with administrative rights.

Update the game
Errors may also be caused by a corrupted EasyAntiCheat installation. Follow this guide to repair the Easy Anti-Cheat service.

Close all unnecessary programs
Some programs on your computer may interfere with the game you're playing or Easy Anti-Cheat. Close all other programs not related to Windows. A cold reboot may be required.

Manage your anti-virus
Performing a full-system scan is highly recommended. If you don't have an anti-virus or it has been out of date for a while, you can use the software listed in
Easy Anti-Cheat’s malware troubleshooting guide.

If the scan does not surface any issues, it may be that the error is related to anti-virus or similar software being corrupted and falsely blocking Easy Anti-Cheat.

Simply disabling it may not entirely stop the software from interfering with the game. Please uninstall any such software temporarily to verify that the game launches without it. If the game otherwise starts without issues, proceed to add its installation
folder to the exception list.

If the steps above did not assist, Easy Anti-Cheat strongly recommends performing a clean Windows installation. Alternatively, you can ask Easy Anti-Cheat for assistance by sending
a tech support ticket.

Here's how I access it:

-Go to file explorer

-Choose "This PC" (under the drop down next to quick access)

- Under devices and drives I choose Windows-SSD (c

-Program Files (x86)

-Easy anti cheat folder

-Run anti cheat

Then when it opens it gives you the option to choose what game/ to repair uninstall the anti cheat software.

As for giving yourself admin access, did you try this?

oh, okay! Thank you but, do you know why Roblox used to work before I downloading it on Windows 10?

While some games can be run on ARM CPU's, a recent update added an anti-cheat software called Byfron to the Roblox UWP (Universal Windows Platform) application. The game no longer works because this Anti-cheat software does not support ARM CPU's yet.

Due to this update, it won't work in Windows 10 either.

it is being intentionally crippled on linux. the game runs absolutely flawless on linux but as you say it is the anti cheat software, easy anti cheat software devs worked with valve to make it work perfectly fine in linux and using proton, other games that use easy anti cheat work fine.

the problem here is the devs only have to change one configuration file to make it work but they are not doing it for some reason. most likely to keep people hooked onto the windows platform.

so much for microsofts promise to make things work with linux.

Any way to check that on my end? Windows Memory Diagnostics returned no errors, and other games work fine, including ones that also use Easy Anti Cheat.
