@SteveJackson I understand your concern about this. You should only do this for files that you're confident are safe. Adding an exclusion for an unsafe program could expose your systems and data to increased risk.
With that in mind, we would never ask you to do that if we believe this could harm your device in any way.
Third party AV is not required in Windows. Disabling core functionality is NOT REQUIRED. This is NOT THE SOLUTION.
I run Microsoft AV/AM (Defender) to my knowledge, a Defender exception has NEVER been required to run this game.
Part of your position suggests or infers that the EA Anti-Cheat IS the problem. Not a good look. Gamers don’t like it. All you do with these measures is annoy LEGIT CUSTOMERS.
It does not prevent piracy. It does not defeat cheats who use game hacks. So it’s a lose-lose position.
Please feed this up the chain to the “don’t cares”. You’re haemorrhaging customers and losing fans.
