Could you try temporarily disabling your firewall and antivirus programs and seeing if you get the same behavior?

After reinstalling and trying to launch the game did you see an EAC installation window?

Try also going to C:\Program Files (x86) and deleting the Easy Anti Cheat folder there, then the Easy Anti Cheat folder in C:\Program Files\Epic Games\Diabotical and then verifying Diabotical on the Epic Games Library, 3 dots button next to Diabotical, Manage, Verify Files-Verify

In Epic Games Launcher->Library->3 dots button next to Diabotical->Manage, next to the Uninstall button there's a round button with a folder icon which will open the location of Diabotical, do you see a Diabotical-Launcher.exe and a Diabotical.exe there?

Try going to the Epic Games Launcher-Library-3 dots button next to Diabotical-Manage-Verify.

If that doesn't work try Uninstalling and Reinstalling.

Have you recently made any changes to the location of the Diabotical files, installed hard drives, changed operating system?

If you are in South Korea, Diabotical hasn't been approved by the South Korean rating board yet so it's unfortunately not currently available.

It's possible to create a Custom Lobby with instant weapon switching if you enable that option through a lobby's More Settings button->Instant weapon switch->Enabled (left column, second row).

This should no longer happen in matches that start now, if you see it in a match that starts after this message please report it again.
