The game shows "EASY ANTI-CHEAT ACTION (0X00020011)" and won't let you play.
Also appears as: easy anti-cheat action 0x00020011, 0x00020011, 0X00020011, grey zone warfare 0x00020011, gray zone warfare easy anti cheat action
Easy Anti-Cheat blocked the game. A player posted it on the game's subreddit in August 2026, and MADFINGER hasn't documented this code.
There's no confirmed fix yet; this page will be updated. Verifying files didn't work for the original poster, and deleting the Easy Anti-Cheat folder only helped until their next reboot.
