Dear Nicko s1

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community,

"Unknown file version (HLL-Win64-Shipping.exe)" - Microsoft Community



There are many players who have the same problem as you.



Apparently this is a large-scale problem of anti-cheat programs,



MANY USERS HAVE TRIED TO RESET THE SYSTEM AND INSTALL WINDOWS CLEANLY BUT IT DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM,



Therefore, we believe that this may be an issue with the anti-cheat version of the program.



As a solution, you can try changing the network environment, such as switching to a different Wi-Fi or wired network.



Often, the solution to this type of problem ultimately depends on updates from the game developer.



Here's a list of other options that might work.



1. Add the anti-cheat program to your firewall whitelist

2. Fix the anti-cheat program, the address may be in:

Crogram Files (x86)EasyAntiCheat



After launching the repair process, select Hell Let Loose in the box that appears and click on Repair Service to repair automatically, during which if the firewall is alarmed, pull in the trust.



2:

Go to the game directory, delete the eazyanticheat folder, and then verify the integrity of the game, and the re-download is successful.

That's where a separate anti cheat file is for me. Though I have my gears files there as well (but I can't open the anti cheat file listed within the gears program.)

Thanks for responding! I tried reinstalling by going through the EasyAntiCheat folder and trying to click 'EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup' and 'Install' and then restarting my PC after. However the game still said 'easy anticheat unknown file verions (black4blood.exe)'. How do I properly reinstall the Easy Anti-cheat?

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?
