If ARC Raiders fails to launch and shows Error Code 30005 – Create File Failed (32), the issue is almost always related to Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC). This error usually happens when EAC files are corrupted or blocked.
Follow the steps below carefully to fix the issue.
Method 1: Repair Easy Anti-Cheat (Recommended)
The fastest way to resolve this error is by repairing Easy Anti-Cheat using Command Prompt.
First, search for cmd in the Windows search bar.
Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
Click Yes when asked to allow changes.
Once Command Prompt is open as administrator, follow the repair instructions exactly.
All required commands and scripts will be provided in the video description link, so you can copy them directly from there.
Copy the first repair command, paste it into Command Prompt using Ctrl + V, then press Enter.
It’s normal if no text appears after running this command.
Next, copy and run the second command.
After running it, check the result:
- If it shows 0, the repair was successful.
- If it shows anything else, the repair failed. In that case, make sure Command Prompt is running as administrator and try again.
If you see 0, close ARC Raiders completely and relaunch the game.
In most cases, the issue will be resolved at this point.
Method 2: Manually Uninstall and Reinstall Easy Anti-Cheat
If the error still occurs, you’ll need to manually uninstall Easy Anti-Cheat.
First, close ARC Raiders completely.
Search for cmd again, right-click Command Prompt, and select Run as administrator.
Click Yes to allow changes.
Now run the uninstall commands provided in the video description link, one by one, exactly as written.
After each command, press Enter.
It is normal if no text appears after running some commands.
The final confirmation command should again return 0, which means the operation succeeded.
Delete Easy Anti-Cheat Folder Manually
Once Easy Anti-Cheat has been uninstalled:
- Press Windows + E to open File Explorer
- Go to This PC → Local Disk (C:)
