I have exactly the same problem which is super annoying!
And if I run Genshin Impact first then launch Lost Ark, it worked last week but this week here comes:
Idk what Easy Anti Cheat detects but this now happens every time when I launched GI and try to launch LA afterwards. The whole Windows 11 will be frozen for like 5-8 seconds before this prompt shows up too.
@ o-o
I used to play both games at the meantime while I was waiting for events to happen in LA (like world bosses, chaos gates, etc.) but I had to launch GI first since the first Wednesday maintenance and now both games can’t run at the meantime any more.
It’s not about CPU/GPU useage - it’s about not being able to run two games at the same time and running both GI and LA is not a big deal on current popular hardware.
You have to wait for many events to happen in LA and what can you do while waiting? Playing another game doesn’t hurt I guess?
Hi OP, I found a temporary solution. It’s not the best, but at least it works.
Reboot your PC and run GI then immediately launch LA. LA may takes a while to load, but you’d be good to go as long as there is no EAC error promot.
Check my screenshot below:
Well, AGS’s own game New World uses EAC too, but you can run both NW and GI without any issues at all. There must be something wrongly coded in LA with EAC. No way EAC in NW is compatible with GI, and suddenly in LA it isn’t.
doesn’t seem to work for me
so you launch genshin then click on LA, does genshin start running before EAC window showing up?
Do you have steam already loaded or it’s a fresh start on steam as well?
Yes, you have to be very fast. I’d say less than 2 seconds. Run GI and immediately launch LA
I have Steam preloaded - my Steam starts with my Windows automatically, as I don’t want to manually start Steam every day.
power on or reboot your PC
wait till Steam launches (I assume you let it remember your credentials for auto login?)
(optional) add Genshin Impact’s exe file (not the launcher) as a non Steam game
run GI and accept its prompt of requesting admin access
immediately click the “Play” button of LA
EAC will not show you an error message if you succeeded
You can see both games are running per my screenshot (LA won’t even launch if EAC detects GI’s anti cheat plugin)
A potential alternative yet somewhat counter intuitive is, BlueStacks does work at the same time as LA as I play Azur Lane on the side and with Genshin being by the same maker and mobile you could emulate the mobile version via bluestacks and do it that way.
I tried to reply to you earlier, but it seems my ISP at home prevents me from accessing this forum. I’m using my company’s network to tell you some new findings.
Maybe I thought too much - somehow the previous workaround started to not work well and I’m not sure if AGS or EAC changed something after checking our comments. That said, I’d rather share my new workaround with you via Reddit, Twitter, or other platforms discreetly and so far it works pretty well for me.
I highly doubt if that’s the case
The changes have to be made on EAC don’t think AGS can do that
But yeah sure if you have any other work arounds that I could try please send me a msg or something
I was thinking the instance you had them both running was probably unstable so it’s hard to reproduce
I have submitted a report to EAC but they would never reply per other players’ feedback online. Also, I submitted a report to Amazon and got no further reply either.
