When launching Bloodhunt, you may receive a certain Easy Anti-Cheat error. In this guide, giving you the possible fixes.

If you are running the game on DX11, the error will be called Failed to start the game (2), and it will look like this:

If you are running the game on DX12, the error will be called Launch Error (10011)/Couldn’t start the game and it will look like this:

Also recommend three main methods of solving this error. Try the following:

1. Verify the integrity of the Bloodhunt game files on Steam.

2. If that does not work, try reinstalling the game.

3. An additional method you can try is verifying the EAC files separately by finding the EAC setup file under Bloodhunt > EasyAntiCheat. Run the setup and repair the installation.

This warning shows up whenever anti-cheat is missing an important file. The certain file is included in the game installation but may sometimes fail to install correctly.

To solve this, do a verification of the steam files. Here’s how:

Restart your computer and launch Steam

1. From a game’s library page, select Manage > Properties.

2. Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game files… button.

3. Steam will verify the game’s files – this process may take several minutes.

4. Relaunch the game.
