Re: BF2042 AntiCheat process blocking program download from EA App

@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.

    @kendomaster Its possible there are some Rights issues with folders and/or files.
    Make sure ya run SFC / SCANNOW coomand in an elevated commandprompt (<<-- as administrator)

    Also make sure there arent any issues with your drive , bad sectors/clusters, or just end of lifetime for drive ? Heat issues? ect ect

    But i think that if problem is solved, ya wont get any issues (ea ac) anymore (lets hope hahaha).

    Have Fun , Game On !!

    Cheers 😉
