When you say you formatted the PC twice, what exactly did you do, step by step?

Do all those games use the same anti-cheat mechanism? Or different ones?

Do you have Controlled Folder Access enabled?
Hey, thanks for responding!

I followed the step by step here: https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/reset-windows-10-pc

They use different ones


HOI4 PDX Laucher

Squad Easy Anti Cheat

Post Scriptum Easy Anti Cheat

Isurgency Sandstorm (not sure)

Europa Universalis (PDX Laucher)

edit: tryed starting DAI OF INFAMY GAME: Battle eye anti cheat showed this: 19:35:53: [INFO] Blocked loading of file: "C:\Windows\System32\d3d9.dll".

That's not actually 'formatting' a PC (despite what they call it). If it's a broken Windows installation, software, or driver issue, a reset may not actually fix the problem.

You could try a clean Windows install as per:
Which is where you actually format the drive the operating system is on, getting rid of all traces of it, then install a new, fresh version. All files would also be removed so back these up first. Once Windows is installed, let it handle all driver installation. Don't install any drivers yourself, or any software except for 1 game client e.g. Steam and 1 game to see if it works.

You may want to try other things first like checking CFA as above first.
