Far Cry 5 EAC Issue

Dicehunter · 29 Oct 2018 at 23:53

Finally got myself FC5, downloaded, Went to launch and was greeted with this -

No programs running in the background, No OSD, Latest GPU driver, Also tried the one previous to that, Motherboard updated, Windows updated, Still nothing.

Even tried installing Windows 10 on a brand new SSD and was met with the exact same issue.

Anyone seen this before ?

Did you buy a key or through UPLAY?

Uplay.

I can launch the arcade editor no problem through Uplay, Just not the main game.

Tried running UPlay in admin mode?

I get it playing vermintide 2 & world war 3

Its lightingservice.exe which blocks it for me

Its part of aurasync to control the RGB on my motherboard.

I have to kill the process in the task manager to be able to play those games

On vermintide once I close that box it comes up with a pop containing a error code, thats hows I found out what it was. World war 3 didnt though.

Used to get the same LightingService.exe error when trying to run Dirty Bomb. Am running the motherboard in my sig. and have asked about it on the ASUS RoG forums a few times and also tried to contact ASUS directly about it. Never got a reply

I fired it up and it started working but I don't have anything installed apart from the motherboard driver and GPU driver.

Seriously, Ghosts in the machine

Thanks for all the input peeps
