@Rokebo73 crap spoke to soon.
Tried starting the game and it runs like a dog with the Anti Cheat screen first - if I check the program manager there are 11 processes running (2 anti cheat)
Just looking at the main anti cheat splash screen watching the progress bar periodically move.
@kendomaster did reboot router/modem ?
Post dxdiag please !
What country are ya in ?
cheers
ps Only EA AC is an issue ?
dxduag is not the issue for sure , I ran it on all my new games in the past and gave NVIDIA GeForce 3080Ti top spec card.
I checked PC logs as it is only the EA App with this issue.
the strange thing is that your solution solved the download speed on the EA App download and install and drastically improved the download of 2042. It would seem that the EA Anti Cheat program is causing this as normally it runs within seconds and starts up the intro to the game. Instarted the game up with Admin priv - no effect, shutdown the Firewall completely still no effect. Tested with Steam and getting 329 Mb/s download and all games run quick.
Stopped all gaming processes and just left EA Anti Cheat Splash screen running , no update in 20 minutes. I will research further.
But anymore great ideas would be good to hear !
well with all the cheaters flooding the game these past christmas holiday sale.
@Rokebo73 well here is a new one for you.
Two issues were occurring on my PC - one I really only observed when I changed the EAC to notify me of all permission changes instead of if a program changes,
so I finally had seen that the EA Anti Cheat was asking permission, so I select OK and the program was getting faster.
The other observation was that EA claim the EA App automatically searches and updates to the latest version, well this is where the other problem was occurring.
If you run the EA App update exe as Administrator it see's a newer version than the one I had installed.
Though OK delete everything again and start from scratch now I have the latest App Build from 17.01.2025 and everything works now, EA Anti Cheat runs within 3 seconds which is what I expected, not 25 minutes and just hangs.
Game runs fast now.
Again kudos to you ! Hopefully the EA App will not do another update and screw it up again.
