Battlefield 2042 / EA Anticheat BSOD Bug
The bug: After enabling Secure Boot on my PC post the update that made this a requirement for EA Anticheat, starting the game (and the anticheat) resulted in a BSOD with the error stating "attempted to write to read only memory". The investigation: I updated Windows 10 to the latest version, updated my graphics card drivers and checked to see if there were any corrupted system drivers (the usual cause for this BSOD). I repaired the Anticheat using their installer and none of these things solved the problem. I went ahead and ran an analysis on the memory dump file that windows generates after a blue screen and low and behold there were no corrupted drivers causing this issue... except for eaanticheat.sys. The solution: Enabling Settings > Windows Security > Device Security > Core Isolation Details > Memory Integrity prevents malware from inserting malicious code into high security processes, also prevents EA Anticheat from attempting to insert it's code into read only memory where it does not belong and circumvents the BSOD. (note in order to enable this setting some older drivers may need to be removed from your system if they are incompatible). After speaking with EA Support I learned that Memory Integrity is in fact, not an official requirement for this game, so this is indeed a bug. Considering the danger of messing around with highly secure kernel layer memory EA Absolutely needs to fix this immediately.
False Driver Version 0.0.0 in BF1 & BFV with AMD 24.3.2
While playing Battlefield 2042, I encountered a critical bug where the game consistently crashes and exits upon death. After researching on Bilibili, I confirmed this is caused by AMD GPU drivers (my current version: 25.6.1). The solution was downgrading to a driver version prior to 24.4.1. I successfully installed version 24.3.2, which resolved the Battlefield 2042 issue. However, when attempting to launch Battlefield V and Battlefield 1, both games displayed my driver version as "0.0.0" and demanded an upgrade to at least v16.x. Reinstalling driver 24.4.1 failed to fix this new problem – the same error persists in Battlefield V and Battlefield 1, though Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 4 remain playable.
Rules Editor Creating Multiple Map Server
Hi Guys: So to just cut to the quick here's my question. Does anybody in here know how the rules editor works? I've used the rules editor to make some pretty good modified maps. However, it works for only one map at a time. I want to start a server that as the maps goes to the next map I want it to load the particular rules editor modifications for each of those maps. But the rules editor is tricky. And so far I've had no luck getting that to work. It's like trying to decipher ancient hieroglyphs. Anyway, if any of you have a proficiency with the rule editor I could use your help. Thanks Confuzzo out
drweblwf.sys driver in EA blacklist
Hello! I am an official employee of DrWeb Ltd., a developer of antivirus solutions headquartered in Moscow, Russia. Since last fall, our technical support has been receiving numerous reports from users about the impossibility of launching various EA games, and in particular the game Battlefield 2042, in the presence of our antivirus. One of the EA components, most likely the anti-cheat, reports the presence of the drweblwf.sys driver in the system, after which it completely refuses to launch the game with a proposal to disable or remove this driver from the system. The exact error message - "This software cannot be used at the same time as the game. Please make sure it's not running, or restart your PC. (error_number): Dr.Web (drweblwf.sys)". Apparently, our driver was blacklisted by the EA anti-cheat for an unknown reason. This driver is one of the main drivers of the antivirus and cannot be simply removed from its composition without losing the antivirus functionality. This driver cannot be simply deleted, disabled or suspended. There are various workarounds that allow the user to bypass this problem, for example, temporarily renaming the driver, but none of these ways are acceptable for solving the main problem. Users are forced to either completely remove the antivirus or engage in numerous manual manipulations, losing protection. Or, among other things, refuse EA games, which I have also seen in my practice. In other words, this situation is not beneficial to either company and harms reputation, as well as commercial harm. The reason I am creating this topic is that I was unable to establish official contact with EA on this issue through any of the channels I was able to find. I have contacted technical support many times with different breaks, but EA technical support, unfortunately, is not competent in solving this problem. Most of the answers were templates, had nothing to do with the question and expressed a complete lack of understanding of the essence of the situation. I also tried to contact the EA PR service and some of the managers directly, but I also didn’t get a response. In my last conversation with EA support, an employee advised me to create a topic in this thread of the EA forum, which is what I am doing. I don`t think that these issues should be resolved in principle within the framework of technical support and especially in the public area, but apparently EA does not have other known B2B communication channels or a way to establish these communications between managers and developers. This is certainly frustrating, but I do not lose hope that I will find solutions to this problem that will help our users get rid of this problem. Since most of our users are Russian-speaking, the problem is mainly discussed in the Russian-language branch of the EA forum. In particular, the most popular topic is located here - https://forums.ea.com/discussions/battlefield-2042-ru/не-запускается-игра-ошибка-104-dr-web-drweblwf-sys/7040181 But in reality, our products are distributed all over the world and we have received feedback from our users from different parts of the world(US, IT, FR, BR, etc.) who complain about the impossibility of launching the game in the presence of our antivirus. At that moment, we are talking about hundreds of users who have encountered this problem in one way or another. The problem is that our company did not take any steps to cause this problem. We do not know the reasons why EA unilaterally adds legitimate drivers of antivirus solutions to its blacklist. But most importantly, we cannot find out these reasons, because we cannot establish any normal communication with the developers or EA managers who could enter into a dialogue with us on this problem. If EA developers had any complaints about our driver, they could have told us about it so that we could come to a solution together. But apparently, instead, it was decided to simply add the driver to the blacklist. This whole situation smells very bad. I honestly doubt that creating this thread will help solve this problem, but at least I tried. Maybe for the last time.
Conquest 64 Hardcore Event: Multiple Issues
As seen at Conquest 64 Hardcore Event: Multiple Issues | EA Forums - 12350663 Just played Conquest 64 Hardcore in Richtersfeld. Tickets were 2000 vs 2000. It was mostly a BOT-controlled match for both teams. When our team was losing by whatever reasons and whenever i noticed our tickets at 1600 already VS 1900 enemy Tickets, our tickets were decreasing by any second. Whenever enemy Team had still more than 1900 Tickets left, we lost more than 1500 (!!!) tickets in about 30 seconds!!! Never seen such a critical bug yet !!error code: 1:-15353464040:2050669849b
Game keeps crashing mid game on XBox and shows this error code. I have reset my router and called my service provider to ensure it wasnt on my end and nothing has changed. I have seen other threads like this from 2 yrs ago but with no solution posted. Please help. This only happens with Battlefield 2042.

The Anti-Material High Power ammos claimed projectile velocity decrease from the standard AntiMat round in menu does not match its real in game performance as these properties are actually reversed, along with other obvious differences in the ammo types like tracer size.Is EA provoking Chinese players
This must be the worst company I have ever worked with! I received a permanent ban for no reason. I spent over $1000.00 on a product with additional components, and even couldn't play games. I contacted EA three times for this, and every time I talked to someone, I got the same answer. EA chatted. It seems that they are all programmed to say the same thing. It is almost impossible to establish contact with anyone there. I don't understand how they can take your money and kick you out of the game. There is no refund, no warning, and no way to truly talk to anyone to get the real answer. As long as they are willing, they will permanently ban you. For some unknown reason, they legally robbed the customers there. Since the first game was released in 2021, I have been playing this game and have been seen as deceiving them. Who spends over $1000.00 on the game and cheats?? What a joke!!Controller Right Stick DRIFT!
The issue is with the controller right stick drift. Without any input, the aim will constantly drift upward. I've tried custom settings, default setting, and nothing helps stop the drift upward. I've seen this issue before, and one of the previous updates fixed it, but now it's back. Please fix this issue as it makes the game unplayable. I'm using Steam, Lenovo & Dell PCs (both have this issue) and an xbox controller.
Packet Loss IN on Brazilian server (AWS sa-east-1)
Hello EA team, I'm experiencing consistent “packet loss: IN” while playing on Brazilian Battlefield 2042 servers. The game connects me to the IP 18.230.23.73, which resolves to a server hosted in AWS sa-east-1 (São Paulo). I get low ping (20–30ms), but persistent packet loss that ruins the match experience. I’ve tested with PingPlotter and confirmed: - Route is stable until IX.br (Rio de Janeiro). - At the final hop (the server), 100% packet loss appears (likely due to ICMP block), but this matches the in-game issue. Details for investigation: - IP: 18.230.23.73 - Hostname: ec2-18-230-23-73.sa-east-1.compute.amazonaws.com - Date/time: 11/07/2025 at 22:17 BRT Please check this server instance. It may be overloaded or misconfigured. Thanks.
Weapons progress not registering or going backwards??
Hi, over the past few months (I don't get chance to play that often) I've been trying to unlock a weapon where on of the challenges is to get 'Kills in a round with and an assault rifle at a distance more than 50m'. I was really struggling with this and wasn't making any progress, I put it down to not getting the distance or just me being crap. The other week I started making a real effort and taking note of the kills and distances and noticed I was actually getting the kills but it wasn't showing up in the progress. I did manage to get to 6 of 10 and thought that I'd cracked it but I checked the other night and it was back at zero. Has anybody else experienced this? How do I complain, the chatbot thing is **bleep**e and I cant seem to contact anybody at EA? With all the negative shenanigans of late with secure boot and all, I'm contemplating not playing battlefield any more they aren't the games they once were. Look forward to some expert insight, thanks in advance.
