CreateService failed with 32 is usually related to Easy Anti-Cheat and happens when the service can’t start properly, often due to corrupted files or antivirus blocking it. Try restarting your PC first, then verify the game files from your launcher (Steam/Epic), run the game as admin, and repair Easy Anti-Cheat from the game’s folder. Also, make sure your antivirus isn’t blocking it or add the game to exclusions. If nothing works, reinstalling the game can fix it.
