Verify Halloween: The Game files in Steam, reboot, then launch vanilla once. The error is not always a ban.

That matched my setup—loader stayed offline until I rolled back one Myers ESP toggle.

Close other overlays before testing. Only start the private loader after a clean game launch works.

Same issue after the last Halloween patch. Waiting for status to go green again.

Check the live status banner before changing configs. EAC updates can break old presets.

If new accounts fail instantly on one PC but work elsewhere, read the HWID spoofer guide.

Fixed with conservative defaults. Leaving this for the next person in Haddonfield.

Confirmed—worked once status showed online again.
