I have a feeling EA anti cheat updated and it no longer works.
There was an update and EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe date now shows 31/10/2024.
Previously, (IIRC?) deleting EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher worked to start the game in offline mode, even without the launcher.
Now, it gives the "trainer cannot find game" message;
-= Waiting For Trainer Activation=-
Attempting Injection-->960
Injection Failed. This may be normal in some applications.
However some applications this means the trainer is being blocked.
Trainer Cannot Find Program in Memory or Injection Failed.
0:0
Replacing EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe now fails to start the game, period. Just deleting it (like before) gives the error "Please launch the game from your distribution platform. if the issue persists, please repair your game and try again."
Could anyone else also confirm?
I'm getting the same error.
I've put in an update request. It'll need 2 more reports.
