KNOWN ISSUE: (EAC) Error Code: 30005 (StartService failed with 1275)

Some players are currently being affected by an Easy Anti-Cheat error:
Error Code: 30005 (StartService failed with 1275)

We believe a previous Windows update (KB5044376) to be conflicting with EAC. Other games using EAC have received similar reports, and players have reported uninstalling/rolling back this Windows update to resolve the issue. Though we appreciate in some cases it is not possible to rollback Windows update KB5044376.

We have contacted Easy Anti-Cheat and will work with them to find a resolution. Further updates will be posted here.

Thank you for your patience.

Issue Description (Required):

Game can not launch, issue related to easy-anti cheat system and the windows security setting “memory integrity”. I haven’t played for 2-3 months but I wanted to go back in to play versus with a friend, but ever since I reinstalled the game on november 12th, i got easy-anti cheat error code; 30005 (startservice failed with 1275) , i have looked online and this seems to be a problem with the memory integrity security setting. I have reinstalled the game and easy anti cheat since then but no luck, and I also tried another game with easy anti cheat (battlefleet gothic armada 2) and it works perfectly fine. Is there a solution?

I also looked at the fatshark “how to resolve anti-cheat errors” https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us/articles/360007853137--PC-How-to-Resolve-Easy-Anti-Cheat-Errors#h_01GHVDKJ2ZM7VRK1BS3C6A4G1R but I do not see this specific error.

Thank you in advance,

@Karon Sorry to hear this. There are other recent online reports (from other games using EAC) of players encountering this error. From what I can tell, there’s a possible conflcit between a recent Windows update (KB5044376), and the resolution seems to be to uninstall/roll back this Windows update. I recommend to give this a try!

Wanted to report I am also having this issue after purchasing all the DLC and trying to pick the game up again. I’m a couple of updates past KB5044376 already. Can’t start the game at all now with 48 hours on record and no way to perform the rollback mentioned :sweat_smile:

@kitoro I see, sorry to hear this. We’ve raised the issue with EAC directly and we’re waiting for a response from them at the moment. Hopefully EAC will get back to us soon and can help in resolving the issue, and I’ll have an update to share soon :crossed_fingers: Thank you for your patience.

When I try to play the game through the official servers, I get that error. I am however able to play the game through modded servers. I’m using Windows 11 with the latest update. This is from a different game but uses EAC and they’re talking about the exact same issue I’m facing.

Sorry to hear this @3Jane-TA

Based on the linked thread there seems to be an incompatibility with a recent Windows update and EAC.

You could try reinstalling/repairing EAC, and other solutions here:

Otherwise, reverting the Windows update, or waiting on a further update may be the only way forwards here sadly.

Will be waiting on that update, thanks for reading.

Just wanted to post that i’m having the same issue. Tried reinstalling EAC/repairing the service and no deal.

If you want to go through the process of removing the update to play here is what you need to do;

  1. Open Control Panel
  2. Uninstall a program
  3. View Installed Updates
  4. Uninstall the Update with KB5044376 in it
  5. Restart and let it finish removing.

EAC have now released an update with a potential fix to this issue:

  • Windows 11 Version 24H2 - with client modules released between March 2023 and April 2024, players encounter a launch error when starting the game

For anyone encountering this error previously, can you please check and let me know if the issue is resolved? Thank you!
