ARC Raiders error 30005
Easy Anti-Cheat can't start the game
Easy Anti-Cheat failed to start the game. Embark says this usually happens because another program, often antivirus, has locked one of its files.

Restart your PC, which is the simplest fix.
If it comes back, add an antivirus exclusion for the Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat_EOS folder.
