[2019] Can't start the game with Patch 1.6.1.1 anymore

I believe this is something to do with our anti-cheat provider, Easy Anti-Cheat.

Could you please try repairing Easy Anti-Cheat using the EasyAntiCheat_Setup executable located here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer Vermintide 2\installers\EasyAntiCheat

Assuming it still works in the modded realm, it’s more likely to be related to Easy Anti-Cheat. Then again, this Telekom issue has resulted in all kinds of weirdness, so I wouldn’t rule it out completely!

Could you please ensure the Easy Anti-Cheat service isn’t disabled by:

1. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator
2. Enter the command:
   services.msc
3. Locate Easy Anti-Cheat within the list and double-click it
4. Change ‘Startup Type’ to ‘Manual’ if it’s set to anything else
