Javelin Anti-Cheat Update Causing Constant BSODs
I've played this game since the beta years ago, never really had any technical issues with the game. However, ever since they launched the Javelin Anti-Cheat update recently on PC Steam, my game BSOD's constantly requiring hard resets. It BSODs for a DPC_Watchdog_Violation with a Bug Check Code of 0x00000133, and Caused by Driver ntoskrnl.exe. I've used some AI tools to analyze the dmp files for each crash, and it all states that it's the javelin anti-cheat update. It also says my Windows 10 PC specs are too high frequency with an AMD 9800x3D and RTX 5090 for the javelin kernal driver to keep up, but that seems silly for Respawn to release this without testing it on high-end specs even though we're a very small market share. I never had any technical issues with Apex until the Javelin anti-cheat update. It will either BSOD instantly when trying to launch the game in Steam, or I'll get into a match and BSOD a few minutes in. Either way, the game is unplayable for me on PC right now. The only other suggestions the AI tools had was I've tried everything and to wait until Respawn sends out a Javelin anti-cheat hotfix to resolve the issues, so I'm dead in the water. I guess I'll go play something else, but it's my favorite competitive game and has been for years, so I'm really disappointed. I've attached the latest dmp file in case someone wants/needs it for investigation purposes. Any help would be nice, thanks in advance!
