Fall guys Launch Error - Easy Anti-Cheat is not installed.

HI, I have Fall Guys installed on Windows 11 via the Heroic Launcher, but when I try to open it, I get a launch error (Easy Anti-Cheat is not installed). I can launch it perfectly fine on Linux, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I believe that Anti-Cheat should come bundled with the game installation.

Hm, usually EAC gets installed automatically, yes. You can try installing it manually by opening a command prompt and running this: 
C:\Users\hari1\Games\Heroic\FallGuys\EasyAntiCheat\EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup.exe install d42d7101bb7a41c09a810ee418b7d3d0
C:\Users\hari1\Games\Heroic\FallGuys\EasyAntiCheat\EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup.exe install d42d7101bb7a41c09a810ee418b7d3d0

That did the trick. Thank you! Side question: If I ever run into this issue again (let's say with Fortnite), I could simply run the EAC installer after I locate it in the game install location, correct?

That should work, yes. The installer is usually launched with some parameters (like above), but them being missing should just lead to it opening a GUI installer
