"During game launch I get the "Start Service Failed" error and game won't launch!"

What helps the most to resolve this issue is to run your Windows Updates and let it update you with all the latest releases by microsoft. Run the windows update and let it download and install all the updates available. After all updates are installed successfully, the game client will start to work again. There's bug that causing a lot of problems for programs and games with some of the windows 10 builds which Microsoft released throughout 2019.

The error log specifies a number between the brackets. Please find the appropriate fix below.

(5) ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED
If you see this error code, make sure you are running the game under Administrator priviledges. Running the game under a restricted user may trigger this error.
(1450) ERROR_NO_SYSTEM_RESOURCES
This error can occur if Windows is not up-to-date. Try downloading the Windows Hotfix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2922790 and then restart Windows for changes to take effect.
If the Windows Update does not help, then the issue is likely to be caused by anti-virus software falsely detecting EAC protected game as malicious software.

(31) ERROR_GEN_FAILURE
This error appears when the system is unable to load any kernel-mode driver. This would indicate a system level corruption, which unfortunately is most often irreversible without re-installing Windows. Possible causes are a rootkit virus infecting the system, blocking any other non-boot-time driver to be loaded, or a corrupted old anti-virus installation that failed to uninstall cleanly. In either case, we strongly recommend you to reinstall Windows.
