Re: EA anticheat error 116

Below thing Solved it for me!!! 
I had been facing this issue for a quiet while from the launch of bf2042 season 6. 

Finally I decide to reset windows but Instead of whole Reset thing (i.e. wiping whole C drive) in windows settings I opted for reset Windows but keep apps and data files. I assume this only resets all the factory setting of windows. THIS PROCESS IS KNOW AS "WINDOWS INPLACE UPGRADE". just google it!

This surely helped me because I don't have to redownload bf2042 again but just have to revalidate from steam. And yes I was able to play game again.

As I have seen on other forums thread with same issue but with different EA games for long time, I don't see EA Anitcheat Devs even care to solve this or at least try to address this. At least Devs would have done to list down errors with detailed problems instead of just saying Restart your game (I know they have errors listed on EA Anticheat webpage but that doesn't helps).

That's literally dumb! 

Also incase if EA AC Devs wants to know, I was facing problem on both newly bought and old PC.

Hope this helps to those who might get game running by simple reset !!!!

RESETING WINDOWS FOR A GAME?, NOT WORTH IT!!
