01

Check the process

  1. Open Task Manager with Ctrl + Shift + Esc. Look for ARC Raiders in the running applications or processes.
  2. End only the clearly identified stuck game process, then launch once through your launcher.
02

Restart Windows

  1. If no process is visible, save your work and choose Windows → Restart.
  2. Try launching once afterwards and note whether the same message returns.
03

Separate other errors

  1. A different EAC code after reboot is a new diagnostic result. Record its complete text.
  2. If the instance error immediately returns, send the launch sequence and screenshot to Embark support. Do not delete EAC drivers speculatively.
