best,

When joining my friends game, I get booted from the party after a few minutes, does this mean I got flagged for cheating and it won't let me MP?

No, this is most likely their servers still being messed up. They have a notification saying you will be frequently disconnected while playing with friends.

Hi Cal.

I followed all the instructions properly.
It was working fine last night.

I even tried downloading it all over and replacing with a new file.
The game starts, then when at the prompt to press Space to start it throws an EAC error on the launcher being invalid.

I'll try again later, but my initial post was a headsup on it detecting a mismatch.

Works absolutly fine for me with the explanation.

YOu should reinstall the game and try it again from scratch? I am no expert but it works fine here.

Also remember do not cheat in MP

Okay, just tested and turns out that you CANNOT join friends with the modified EAC.exe file. It would not even show a friend online playing it. So, I tried putting the original one back in. This time, it did allow me to see the friend playing and it did allow me to attempt joining.

But, it went as far as 80% with the Joining Session screen before it kicked back saying it failed to join. And, then got that stupid warning message about "this account has been flagged cause we're a-holes. so you can't join friends." Verifying the game files with Steam did not solve the issue.

So, looks like once you start the game with that modified EAC.exe file, it phones home and tattle-tales to PCF with your account, regardless.

Well, like everyone else who feels the same way, this is stupid. There's no reason to implement this sort of nonsense. Just let friends join friends, at least. It's not a PvP. I don't see how cheating, no matter how little, would affect someone else's, even a friend's, gameplay. Welp, that sucks.
