EasyAntiCheat does not uninstall when uninstalling game

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Technical Support
1

For the Microsoft Store version of Darktide, the EasyAntiCheat service that is installed along with the game does not uninstall when uninstalling the game.

I did not have EasyAntiCheat installed on my system prior to installing Darktide, so it’s not failing to uninstall due to having a different game installed that requires it.

I’ve also not been able to manually uninstall EasyAntiCheat using the EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup.exe file in the Darktide install folder – I had to completely redownload the game again to attempt this. The EasyAntiCheat Setup executable just closes immediately after starting to run, and doesn’t present a menu to install/repair/uninstall like it’s supposed to.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install the game on windows PC using the XBox store app
  2. Uninstall the game through the XBox store app
  3. EasyAntiCheat_EOS service remains installed

Platform:
[Microsoft Store]

Reproduction Rate:
Constant (100%)
