I've reformatted my computer, reinstalled steam, reinstalled 7 days to die, updated Windows, updated video drivers, and went through the EAC repair tool again. I'm still having the same issue. I haven't played 7 days to die since June 28th because of this issue.
I have done upgrades suggested for windows, attempted the EAC suggested fixes and still nothing. I've tried logging in from other computers also. I can run the game in alpha 20.7 and enter an EAC server, but once I go up to alpha 21 I can not. It gets stuck at EAC verifcation.

Bug Description: I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Steam and 7 days to die multiple times since A21 stable was released. I can't get onto an EAC enabled server now.
Detailed steps to reproduce the bug:
1) After reinstalling both Steam and 7 days I attempted to go into random servers.
2) I downgraded to 20.7 and was able to play on an EAC enabled server.
3) I upgraded back to Alpha 21 stable and got kicked again from every attempted server.
Actual result: I am unable to play on any A21 stable server that has EAC enabled.
Expected result: I would love to be able to play 7 days on Alpha 21. I've been troubleshooting for 4 days.
