Hm, perhaps try verifying integrity of game files:

  1. Right-click Vermintide 2 in your Steam library sidebar
  2. Select ‘Properties’
  3. Select the ‘Local Files’ tab
  4. Select the ‘Verify the Integrity of Game Files’ button
  5. When complete, close and reopen Steam

Otherwise, are you able to launch successfully in Modded realm? (chosen from the launcher options). I ask, as EAC only applies to Official realm and this can help in isolating the issue.

If so, your Anti-Virus/Firewall may be interfering with the dx12 .exe file. So I’d recommend adding Anti-Virus and Firewall exceptions for the following:

  • vermintide2.exe in \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer Vermintide 2\binaries
  • vermintide2_dx12.exe in \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer Vermintide 2\binaries_dx12
  • EasyAntiCheat.exe in \Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat

Please let me know how you get on.
