How to Fix – Error Code: 30005
Error Code: 30005 (CreateFile Failed with 32.)
This error shows that the Easy Anti-Cheat service is being prevented from carrying out one of its operations by something on your computer. Anti-Virus software or a program of a similar nature is usually to blame.
- Ensure the appropriate Anti-Virus and Firewall exceptions are in place for both Vermintide 2 or Darktide and the Easy Anti-Cheat service
- A ‘Selective Startup’ can also help diagnose whether a background application is resulting in your issue. This can be performed by:
- Press the Windows key
- Type ‘msconfig’ and select ‘System Configuration’
- On the ‘General’ tab, select ‘Selective Startup’
- Deselect ‘Load startup Items’
- Reboot your PC
- Launch Vermintide 2 or Darktide as normal
- If the error no longer persists after having performed the Selective Startup, you will need to re-enable each of your usual background applications one-by-one until the error reoccurs, to determine which is interfering with Easy Anti-Cheat
- Check that the Easy Anti-Cheat service is enabled by:
- Open the Command Prompt as an administrator
- Enter the command:
services.msc - Locate Easy Anti-Cheat within the list and double-click it
- Change ‘Startup Type’ to ‘Manual’
- Save the changes
