From the Entire RDBK team, thank you so much for checking out Renown.
We’d like to humbly apologise to anyone experiencing issues with the current patch of Renown.
We’re getting some reports of folks getting kicked back to the menu, having EAC hang or not load properly.
We’re already reaching out to our contacts at Epic Games who own Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC).
We think we know the cause of the issue but have no ability to influence the outcome without Epic Games.
If you’ve ever played a version of Renown before, its best to try uninstall/delete/scrub any files remaining before installing the latest version.
Till then we’ve already posted this set of troubleshooting steps to try help the issue: If you’re having trouble launching or are being kicked from a server on join, this may be to Easy Anti-Cheat, try the following steps in order:
1) Verify or Reinstall the Game Use your platform’s file verification option to check for missing or corrupted files.
If problems continue, uninstall and reinstall the game.
2) Check Your Antivirus/Firewall Make sure your security software isn’t blocking Renown or Easy Anti-Cheat. Add the game’s installation folder to your antivirus and firewall exceptions list.
3) Close Background Apps Shut down unnecessary programs running in the background, especially overlays (Discord, Steam, NVIDIA, etc.) or system monitoring tools that may conflict with EAC.
4) Reinstall Easy Anti-Cheat Navigate to Renown’s installation folder. Run UninstallAntiCheat.bat, then run InstallAntiCheat.bat to reinstall EAC.
5) Update Drivers and Windows Outdated graphics, network, or system drivers can cause issues. Ensure your Windows installation and all drivers are fully up to date.
6) Remove Old Renown Folders If you previously installed an older version of Renown (Backer, Demo, etc.), delete the following folder before launching the game: %USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Local\\Renown_Combat 7)
Physically delete any left over files after uninstalling Renown. If you’ve previously installed Renown, the game files will be located inside one of your Steam Library folders.
The default path is typically: SteamLibrary\\steamapps\\common\\Renown However, your Steam Library may be located on a different drive (for example, D:\\SteamLibrary... instead of C:...) if you’ve chosen a custom installation location or have multiple Steam Libraries.
If you’re not sure where the game is installed, you can always locate it directly through Steam by: Opening your Steam Library. Right-clicking on Renown and selecting Manage > Browse Local Files. Thank you again for supporting a small team of Indie developers such as ourselves.
We apologise again for any issues, and are actively working to get them fixed as soon as possible.
