ARAV11019 means Easy Anti-Cheat detected Cheat Engine or other restricted memory-editing software. Close and uninstall Cheat Engine and any similar tools, then restart your PC and try again.

How do I fix ARAV11018?

ARAV11018 is triggered by unauthorized overlays or Nvidia Profile Inspector. Close Discord overlay, GeForce Experience overlay, MSI Afterburner, and disable Nvidia Profile Inspector. Restart the game.

Is ARAV a server error?

No. ARAV errors are not server issues. They are Easy Anti-Cheat rejecting your local machine configuration. The problem is on your PC—virtual machines, overlays, scripting tools, or security settings—not Arc Raiders servers.

What causes EAC error 30005?

EAC Error 30005 (CreateService failed with 32) usually means the Easy Anti-Cheat service file is locked by antivirus or game files are corrupted. Add the game folder to antivirus exclusions, verify Steam file integrity, and restart your PC.

Arc Raiders ARAV Error Codes — Easy Anti-Cheat Fix Guide

Fix every ARAV code blocking you from playing

ARAV errors are not server issues. They are Easy Anti-Cheat rejecting your local machine configuration. Many players assume the server is broken when the issue is on their end—VM software, overlays, scripting tools, or security settings. This guide covers every ARAV code and how to fix it.

ARAV11014 / ARAV10014 / ARAV9004

Trigger: Virtual Machine detected.

Fix: Disable Hyper-V, disable VM software (VirtualBox, VMware, etc.), or run Arc Raiders on bare metal. Easy Anti-Cheat blocks VMs to prevent cheating environments.

ARAV11018 / ARAV10018

Trigger: Unauthorized overlay or Nvidia Profile Inspector detected.

Fix: Close all overlays (Discord overlay, GeForce Experience overlay, MSI Afterburner). Disable Nvidia Profile Inspector. Restart the game.

ARAV11021 / ARAV11026

Trigger: Auto-clicker or scripting software detected.

Fix: Close AutoHotkey, Logitech G Hub macros, and any scripting tools running in the background. EAC flags these as potential input automation.

ARAV11019

Trigger: Cheat Engine or restricted software detected.

Fix: Close and uninstall Cheat Engine. Check for other restricted memory editors or mod tools running. Restart PC and try again.

ARAV11024

Trigger: Windows Core Isolation or Secure Boot disabled.

Fix: Enable Memory Integrity in Windows Security → Device Security → Core Isolation. Enable Secure Boot in BIOS. Some games and EAC require these for trusted execution.

EAC Error 30005 (CreateService failed with 32)

Trigger: Windows service file locked by antivirus or corrupted game files.

Fix: Add the game folder to antivirus exclusions. Verify Steam file integrity (right-click game → Properties → Installed Files → Verify). Restart PC and try again.

Is this a server issue or my PC?

ARAV errors are always local. Easy Anti-Cheat runs on your machine and blocks launch when it detects an unsupported or restricted configuration. If you see an ARAV code, the servers are not the cause.

ARMR errors (e.g. ARMR0002) are server-side matchmaking handshake failures—you get those when the game is running but can't find or join a match. For those, check our ARMR0002 fix guide and matchmaking status page.
