    First time I played far cry 5 on my PC it worked fine. However, upon attempting to launch it a second time it is now giving me a Easy Anti-cheat is not installed error. My uplay and steam applications are up to date.

    Please help

    Found a Fix

    Hey guys, my brother had the same issue when he went to launch his game we found a solution and hopefully it works for you!

    First go to steam
    Next right click far cry 5
    Then click properties, then local files.
    Next browse local files.
    Then double click on your bin folder
    Then double click on your easy anti cheat
    There should be a application called easyanticheat_setup
    Double click on that and he told me that it did a brief update and he was able to launch far cry 5.

    I hope that this helps you guys!

    Same issue here, played 4-5 hours the last few days, today this out of nowhere error is stopping me from playing the game.
    Went to ..Ubisoft\games\Far Cry 5\bin\EasyAntiCheat and run EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe
