Can run the game with EAC disabled, but cannot with it enabled

Today I found that I cannot open the game through both Steam and manual update. In specific, it seems that the game runs for a second after the EAC is enabled, and closes by itself.

I tried to disable the EAC through the manual update, and the game can be opened normally (but u cannot play it without EAC).

I have tried:

Reinstall game

Check and fix files (through both Steam and manual update)

Fix EAC by running easyanticheat_setup

Exclude the game and the EAC folder from antivirus or firewall.

But it still doesn’t work.

Any suggestions for the further steps I can take?

No. And by the way there is no error message/code shown when the game closes itself.

what does the log file say?

Try repairing the EasyAntiCheat. Just find the EasyAntiCheat in your War Thunder folders, open it and select repair.

You could also delete your cache folder in War Thunder and let it rebuild itself next start.

This is not a solution, however fwiw, you can play Ground AB, Air AB and Air RB without EAC turned on. (Just tested it in game, these 3 modes allow you to queue with EAC off.)

Ground RB and Naval modes will not allow you to queue with EAC off.

Be sure to run the EAC setup as admin, as well as making sure any antivirus is exempting the folder, not just the game EXE.

Sir, Ive been doing their step by step “fixes” since 2022 and it has never worked. EAC/WT RB/SB just decided to stop working on Nov 2022 and it has never worked since

If you haven’t tried reformatting, I’d suggest that… It’s more likely to be a fault with your actual setup compared to it being EAC and ‘unfixable’…

Especially if you’ve had this issue for this long without having any luck or progress.
