I downloaded the game through Epic Games but could never get the game to start even after several emails to their support. In the end they told me to go to Uplay support.
Tried running it through Uplay and it still would not load, so I did a lot of reading in the forums and tried many, many things and eventually got it to load (after taking someones advice in the forum and deleting Uplay and reinstalling it) and I got into the game ... BUT
Now on the start screen, in the game, I get the message 'Easy Anti-Cheat Multiplayer Disabled' and I have tried many things once again in the forums. I noticed that a lot of the posts on both issues are from 2016 and 2017 and still in 2020 these issues are still happening?
I have uninstalled the EAC and reinstalled, all with Administrator Privileges, verified the files, but with no luck. I even took some more advice for a post I read and deleted the EAC folder and rebooted then validated the files, which I then repaired it, again but I still can't play multiplayer.
I was really looking forward to playing multiplayer as I have never played online before so I hope someone can help me, please.
PS. Why is the text in writing posts so small. but it comes out fine when I post.
