SMITE video game is available to play both through a standalone launcher available to download from their site and from Steam. That being said, some of the methods will be aimed at Steam and some at the non-Steam players. Follow the methods we have prepared below in order to resolve this problem.
What Causes the SMITE “Bad or Missing Configuration” Error?
The error is caused by a variety of different reasons which usually have something to do with other services related to the game. The list of causes might help you figure out which scenario occurred to you and what to do in order to fix it.
Solution 1: Install or Uninstall the Hirez Service
Sometimes this service simply doesn’t install properly on people’s computers and they are unable to do anything with their installation of Smite, leading to this error appearing from the beginning. In other cases, the service appears to be corrupt and you should uninstall and let the game install it itself.
Solution 2: Use the Troubleshoot Option
Many players have reported that using the game’s built-in troubleshooter can help resolve the problem quite easily. The error itself is not so problematic in its nature and you should definitely check out this option before moving onto the next one!
Solution 3: Install EAC
Sometimes this error appears if users haven’t installed Easy AntiCheat properly. It’s a service designed to prevent user-installed addons which serve to provide unfair advantage to players. Make sure you follow the instructions available below in order to properly install this feature and play the game without obstructions.
Solution 4: Reinstall the Game
Reinstalling the game is the last step you should undertake in order to solve this problem. Some people may feel like this is too much but it all depends on how fast your Internet connection is because your progress is tied with your Steam or HiRez account (depending on how you installed the game) and you can simply start where you left off.
