Mysterious error code prevents PC players from running Evil Dead: The Game

Players in this new game have been complaining about error code LS0013. This is a failed error code that prevents one from actually playing the game.

In order to fix this, the first thing they should try is verifying the files. Here is the step by step process on doing that:

• Open Epic Games Launcher
• Find Evil Dead: The Game
• Left click on three dot icon
• Select Verify

From there, the PC will start verifying files. A bar will show up indicating progress, and once it’s filled all the way, the problem might be fixed.

If anyone reloads their game after this process and it doesn’t work, there is another method they can try. It could be that the tab for “Run game as Adminstrator” is checked. Players should promptly leave it unchecked to experience results.

To find this tab, players should open their files and follow these instructions:

• Open Local Disk (C:)
• Open Program Files
• Select Epic Games
• Select Launcher
• Select Engine
• Select Binaries
• Select Win64
• Select EpicGamesLauncher.exe
• Right Click and select Properties
• Click Compatability

On this screen, players should be able to see if the “Run this program as an administrator” box has been selected. If so, simply unselect it.

To be extra safe, one should also repeat this process for their Evil Dead: The Game file as well. Some people have reported that the error only goes away if both boxes are unchecked.
