The error code 30005 CreateFile failed with 32 usually appears when you start a game. It is triggered mainly by EasyAntiCheat. This error can also be caused by corrupted game files or third-party software interfering with EasyAntiCheat.

How can I fix the CreateFile failed with 32?

NOTE

If you have installed or set any program to run along with the game, then disable/remove it before launching the game.

1. Delete the EasyAntiCheat.sys file

1. Press Windows + E and head to C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat from the address bar.
2. Delete the EasyAntiCheat.sys file using the keyboard button or through the right-click menu.

NOTE

Some of the users will have EasyAntiCheat_EOS.sys instead of EasyAntiCheat.sys. Delete that file ending with EOS.sys.

Not able to delete EasyAntiCheat.sys?

And if you have a third-party antivirus installed, consider deactivating it for an hour through its menu.
