I've been facing a frustrating issue for the past week where none of my games that use Easy Anti Cheat can connect to the game servers. My friends initially reached out to me about their C drive being full, so they cleared out their downloads folder, which freed up a lot of space. However, after that, they started experiencing connection errors trying to launch games like "Rematch" and "Elden Ring: Nightreign." They receive a "Steam login error" message, indicating a connection issue with Steam services.
We tried several troubleshooting steps, such as verifying game file integrity, reinstalling the games, and even reinstalling Steam, but nothing worked. They managed to launch CS2 without issues, so we suspected the problem was specific to Easy Anti Cheat. We attempted to play Fortnite and Fall Guys, but those also couldn't connect.
We tried various methods to repair or reinstall Easy Anti Cheat, like using the EasyAntiCheat_setup, but the EasyAntiCheat_EOS_setup won't even open. We also did a fresh Windows installation and wiped the drives completely, but the connection issue persists. The only thing we're left wondering about is whether there's something going on with the network or Easy Anti Cheat itself, but we can't pinpoint the problem.
Any advice or solutions?

It's possible you might have gotten banned, although if your friend hasn't cheated at all, that doesn't seem likely. Normally, you'd receive a notification if there was a ban in place. Just to be safe, double-check their account status online to rule that out.
It sounds like a Steam login issue rather than a direct problem with Easy Anti Cheat. Since you've already reinstalled Windows, it's likely a network issue. Make sure to look into your network setup and hardware, including your router. Sometimes tweaking those settings can help!
Interesting, especially since only Easy Anti Cheat games are affected! We eventually fixed it by changing the DNS settings and resetting the router, so that might be worth exploring.
That’s a good point, but as she’s a streamer, false reports could happen. Still, no notice makes it seem unlikely.
