I've also tried helping him even with the github https://docs.joinbattlebit.com/crashes/launch-from-steam but it's not working.
Launch from Steam | English | BattleBit Troubleshooting
Game crashes instantly if launched from Steam, but runs fine if launched from executables in installed files.
I would type exactly as we tried running the program but it won't allow me.
It only works for him when he goes to his files and runs it as anticheat but he wants it to where he can run it from steam.
did you try to set BattleBitEAC.exe to always run as admin in properties > compability mode?
I can tell him rn we're in a vc one sec
then set it as launch option directly and try launching it from steam
Are they the same to EasyAntiCheat or is it two different things?
As I have no idea about this kind of stuff.
a bit different, but if BattleBitEAC.exe won't do it, replace it with EasyAntiCheat.exe in path and see if it helps
Alrighty thank you, I'll let you know how it goes from there if you'd like.
don't forget to set it to always run as admin too
ye sure
@𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚏𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚎 didn't work
I even told him things he should do.
and didn't work
@𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚏𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚎 should we try windows + r?
(sorry for double pingy)
wdym?
C:\Users%username%\AppData\LocalLow\BattleBitDevTeam\BattleBit\
should we try that?
no
alr I was gonna tell him to send you the logs.
that's just a folder where logs are
won't help much
alr, well what's next?
since problem is with steam, not the game
i would try to exit the steam and then launch it as admin, see if it helps
OH THAT'S WHAT I ALSO FORGET
silly billy
DAMN I SHOULD'VE ASK HIM TO TRY THAT-
:Facepalm_Battlebit:
@𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚏𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚎 nvm didn't work, if you'd like we could set up a private vc and show you this if you'd like.
As I've did my job to attempt to help him.
:shrugs:
did you confirm that path in the guide is the same that you have?
i tried man i told u im not very smart ):
let me screenshot this
@𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚏𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚎 that's what he's launching currently.
oke, is it valid? is it the path that he has?
Yep I confirmed it with him on a vc, I'll also record it again.
no need, did you try it with BattleBitEAC.exe as well? (and it does set to always run as admin)
YEP and it's making my brain go from heart attack to even more heart attack.
k let's cover the basics, did you try to reinstall the game?
yep.
we've also tried verifying it
as I've watched.
only idea i have is to reinstall steam
but game launches when you run it from executable directly right?
Only when he goes to browse > easy anticheat and then it just lets him in
but he wants it to where he just has to click play and that's it.
try running BattleBitEAC.exe as administrator, when it fails plz go here, press "Download raw file", run the batch script and send BattleBit Logs.zip from your desktop to @BattleBit ModMail, i'll see what i can find
:thumb: let me him to that right now!
@𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚏𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚎 it launched
and he's in rn
don't mind the brewstew vid in the corner
try rebooting pc and then launching it from steam
He did that, I'll ask him again to do that.
set it to BattleBitEAC.exe in launch options
right so if i'm right
@𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚏𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚎 I can't type it in here, can you see the filtered chat?
ORRR
i hope you guys are fine with me doing this, just this once
for @Claptrap I'm doing it for him
alr, he's rebooting his pc rn
@𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚏𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚎 bad news but didn't work.
it's set like that too.
^
and if that won't help then
@𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚏𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚎 I KNEW IT
I think he has an anti cheat
huh?
he has an "epic games"
anticheat
and his computer even asked him
wait what
"Did this program work?"
I think we just figured it out.
epic games anticheat is EAC, you mean their launcher?
We're not sure but it said something about it not letting it launch easy anti cheat.
:think3d:
@𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚏𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚎 so his program compatibility assistant is telling him if it fixed it or not.
But we're checking right now and we're not sure if it can help but we're gonna do a bit of window's checking such as seeing if the firewall is blocking it, the computer out of date
or
we might as well do a reinstall in steam
We'll try that tomorrow as we're tired as we tried doing this for 4 hours straight.
@[𝚁𝚄|𝙴𝙽] 𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚏𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚎 I know we're pinging (a lot) but to let you know, this happened as soon as he bought battlebit, so he's not on rn but I do have some options to try for him later.
As it could be his windows defender, we tried firewall yesterday as it never worked (everything was on for battebit in firewall) so my last hope was to see if it's steam and if not I'm out of options.
as a bypass you can just create a shortcut for BattleBitEAC.exe and put it on desktop
Or yeah
@[𝚁𝚄|𝙴𝙽] 𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚏𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚎 from what I know, only works in files, different games with different anticheats.
What i do know is one of his game l4d2 doesn't work and my guess is, it's Steam's VAC and only works in files.
I told him he should try that if he re installs it but I'm not sure if there's any similarities to battlebit too if you get me.
Like the way how they both can't launch from steam.
That's as far as I know, @[𝚁𝚄|𝙴𝙽] 𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚏𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚎 if you want I can make a private vc with you and him, you could see what happens there/help him, I only suggest it as it's out of my hands to know what's the problem and how to fix it.
:shrugs:
sorry for the ping FYI.
this is just me right now.
@Claptrap I do have another idea hop on in 10 minutes if you can.
is there anything wrong with using shortcut?
No it works it's just he wants to launch it off of steam. (One of those people if you get me)
@[𝚁𝚄|𝙴𝙽] 𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚏𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚎 welp, we tired it so our last solution was to just pin it or make a shortcut
i so sad
:(
@𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚏𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚎 hey do you know what happened to the official server? I'm looking for them and I don't see any actual official hosted server hosted by the game dev's themselves.
they open on demand (when there's enough players in queue for specific server size)
huh weird... i meant as in like, I don't see any Brazilian servers, no Japanese servers, no USA servers that are hosted by the developers, my buddy doesn't see any too.
