Game does not open after Easy Anti-Cheat is "Waiting for Game"

We kindly ask that you complete the questions below. With this information, we can investigate your issue properly.


Issue Description: My first two times playing this game it worked just fine, although I ran into a hardware-related crash that I am working to resolve. In the meantime, I have been trying to play again but I can only get as far as Easy Anti-Cheat “Waiting for game”. After a minute or two, it will close and the game will not open, but it is still open in my task manager. So far, I have tried:
Force-closing and relaunching the game
Verifying the game’s files
Reinstalling the game entirely
Restarting my computer
None of these have solved the issue thus far, and I am at a complete loss.

This is an issue we’re battling and it should be resolved in the coming weeks, apologies.

So I can assume by that response there’s no workaround anybody can find at the moment?

Has there been any reportable progress on solving this issue?

This should now be resolved - is it still occurring for you?
