Here's a POTENTIAL fix to the Incorrect Code error.

DISCLAIMER
=============
Create a system restore point before you do your experiments!
I will not be responsible for any damage you cause to your system while trying to fix this issue.



The problem you might be facing is the abrupt termination of "vgc" service that is essentially the Vanguard Anti-Cheat system. Without the anti-cheat, you will be stuck in the infinite restart loop with the game's launcher no matter what you do.

I will be listing the fixes alongside timestamps in case you don't want to watch the video.

Intro [0:00]

FIXES [That didn't work for me]:
==================================
1. Setting VGC to Automatic from Manual in Services [1:28]
2. Setting Recovery Options in Services for VGC [2:58]
3. Uninstalling and updating corrupt/old drivers (Mostly Realtek Audio or ASUS audio drivers) [3:12]
4. Uninstalling and reinstalling Vanguard via the launcher [4:02]
5. Deleting DLLs and SYS files (Virtual Box, EaseUS Drive Partition and a few more) from System32 Folder [NOT RECOMMENDED] [4:20]


Showcasing the error and tweets [4:29]

FIXES [That worked for me]:
