Hi @Revy,

As you can launch in Modded realm, this would suggest that the issue is Easy Anti-Cheat related, as EAC only applies to Official realm. Are any specific error messages displayed on-screen when the game crashes?

I recommend to try the following -

Install/Repair Easy Anti-Cheat:

  1. Navigate to: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer Vermintide 2\installers\EasyAntiCheat
  2. Run the EasyAntiCheat_Setup installer and proceed as instructed

Ensure that you have appropriate Anti-Virus and Firewall exceptions in place for both Vermintide 2 and Easy Anti-Cheat. You’ll need to add exceptions for the following:

  • vermintide2.exe in \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer Vermintide 2\binaries
  • EasyAntiCheat.exe in \Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat

Please let me know how this goes.

Interesting, it was an anitvirus program, that decided to block the game despite letting it run just fine the same day, I dont really understand what the issue was. Thanks for the advice here.
