So they forced the update on me today. So far so good. My question though is if I have the launcher options for the game in Steam set to launch without EAC will that work or will it still interfere with 24H2 and crash. To be honest I am kind of scared to try and was hoping someone already knows the answer.
A question about 24H2 update

A few things on this.
1. You can roll back to 23H2, and then pause updates.
2. Yes, running the game without EAC will allow it to run where the issue with EAC and 24H2 causes it to crash.
3. I have not been able to replicate the issue reliably on 24H2 since a rollup patch from a week or two ago, so it may be resolved and MS just hasn't updated their documentation.

I haven't been having any issues, nor have anyone on the team, good to go. Although systems and security and such can change things.

24H2 didn't like the version of Easy Anti-Cheat installed by 7Days (I don't remember which version I first installed on this PC, probably A21), since EAC is a kernel-mode app and 24H2 is trying to keep things out of the kernel with Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection.
The status of Kernal-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection can be checked in the Window Security dashboard. Open Windows Security from the start menu, inside it click Device Security followed by Core isolation details. If Kernal-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection is off, try turning it on. It will probably fail to turn on and list easyanticheat_eos.exe as the reason it can't turn on.
Personally, I seem to be doing okay by following these steps.
The game reinstalled without any error messages and an EAC server let me connect and play for about fifteen minutes before I went back to single player. I'm guessing that reinstalling 7D2D v1.2 installed a newer version of EAC that works correctly?

- Upgrade to 24H2
- Uninstall 7D2D
- Turn on the Kernal-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection setting
- Reinstall 7D2D
