Easy Anti-Cheat Error 10009 is a launch-related error that indicates EAC could not properly initialize or validate your game environment. For a significant number of players, EAC Error 10009 occurs when Rematch is installed on a drive other than your primary Windows C: drive.

This means if you’ve installed Rematch on your E: or any other drive besides C:, you are much more likely to encounter this error. Now that we know why this issue occurs, let’s get you a fix that will fix the issue.
