Anticheat use too much CPU
Hello, Battlefield 2042's Anticheat uses more CPU (or rather the entirety) than the game itself. When you join any game, the Anticheat consumes the entire amount of CPU. You can't disable it in the...

@Muqqyydada did reinstall EA AC to see if this fix youre issue ?
@AntiCheatWard Hi can you please fix it on FC25 on PC as well it is having the same problem with high CPU usage and it's been like that since almost a month already . Too many stuttering and freezes causing this anti cheat on FC 25, can you please make a fixed new anti cheat version update for this please.
AntiCheatWardEA Anticheat Team
@ZUHJ97 FC25 and BF2042 are running the same version of EA anticheat, I don't believe these issues are related to EA anticheat, the reports of stuttering and freezing impacting that title have been limited to only online modes, and EA anticheat runs regardless so we wouldn't have made that difference.
Happy to investigate if there's evidence to the contrary.@AntiCheatWard My English is bad, sorry for that.
I just can't believe you did't know anticheat is the cause of stuttering.It has been almost three weeks. What a great example of interdepartmental communication.
BF1, BFV, and FC(I only play these games) community all have the same stuttering problem. The only thing these games have in common is they both use ea anticheat., and The time communities starts to report the stuttering problem is about three weeks ago, which is exactly the time you guys released a silent update on anticheat. And the problem is not only happening on online modes.
It seems not everyone has the stuttering problem, it works fine for some people.People who have games stuttering problem see same thing happens when they start the game: System or ntoskrnl.exe takes 100% usage on some CPU threads about every 10 seconds, and it lasts for 3 or 4 seconds. Please check and fix it,
@AntiCheatWardDid you even read through the FC25 thread at all? The stuttering happens in singleplayer and multiplayer.
What a joke of a company.
@AntiCheatWard Here is another topic that says what is happening a little deeper https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/EA-anticheat-causing-ntoskrnl-exe-taking-a-lot-of-CPU-usage-on/td-p/14291395/highlight/false
@Petar4646 I guess they deleted or hided your topic, it says i don't have access to that page.
@AntiCheatWard you had to be kidding or are you only defendind your software? This anti cheat doesnt work at all to prevent cheaters, in the other hand works like a charm to drain perfomance
@AntiCheatWardHonestly you got to be kidding!! And this is no time for kidding! If you guys paid attention to what people said you'd already seen that the stuttering and freezing happens either online or offline!!
Look at this nice online mode (irony) called Squad Battles:
https://youtu.be/0xvLY2Dndgw?si=EAitP3t5ru3MBvbi
I never had any problem playing Fifa from 07 to 23, in FC24 anti cheat was brought in, the first weeks wasn't possible to play with my controller (anti cheat would give an error), and in FC 25 since the update 5 (and anticheat was updated too) the game is completely unplayable, either online or offline! And by what people say the hackers still there, so the only ones being affected are the people that just want to enjoy the game.
If you want to defend the anticheat software defend it, but don't lie. It's been an absolute disgrace since FC24.@AntiCheatWard So are you saying that Squad Battles in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team is an online mode? Because this has been said hundreds of times that this is happening in Squad Battles. If you are not including Squad Battles as an online mode then I suggest you go read the thousands of posts, tweets, reddit posts etc. PLEASE!
@AntiCheatWard i posted a wrong link here is the correct one please solve it https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/EA-anticheat-causing-ntoskrnl-exe-taking-a-lot-of-CPU-usage-on/td-p/14291395/highlight/false

Happy to investigate if there's evidence to the contrary.It's been said countless times that the problems appears in both online and offline game modes. Issues of stuttering and freezing also appeared in BF1 the moment after you updated anti cheat there, and I've read about people having the same issue in BFV.
@AntiCheatWardonly online mode ??? LOL are you joking
and he gone xd
- @AntiCheatWard EA Anticheat is THE ISSUE. I used a Live Editor by Aranaktu which allows you to run FC 25 without the anticheat, and I can assure you that there is no stuttering, major lag spikes as there is when the anticheat is running, the game is still not as smooth as it was before Title Update 5 of FC 25, however it is way better. There you have it, we have found out what the damn issue actually is.
@AntiCheatWard first of all, all pc gamers have been waiting for 3 weeks on a reply of any ea employee in a 175 page long ea forum about stuttering problems due to anticheats new update. Second of all it got to the point where some people even wanted to refund the game (including me) due to the fact that its just unplayable. Third of all we have been patient enough and our only hope were the patch updates, yet none of you looked into anything weve said and this just shows that its true. Here is a link if u dont believe me. Its unplayable and its disgraceful how long weve been waiting now. For the love of God roll back to the old anticheat or atleast make an update that works.

Happy to investigate if there's evidence to the contrary.Hi @AntiCheatWard . It really feels good to see someone from the team. And also it's sad that this issue came back on November 18. Pleace see the screenshot I attached.
It happens every minute 1-2 times.
And since it took so long for you to accept the issue(you probably haven't yet though 🙂 ) community is waiting for an official statement.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhGtRl3bFlc- AntiCheatWardAppreciate the additional information folks, some of that wasn't filtered over to me. It's clear my reply was a bit too off-the-cuff there relying on the information I received from others.
We'll dig in soon, thanks. - @AntiCheatWard Thanks! We'll be waiting for a fix as we've been... Really thanks for that communication now, it's really relieving that you'll look for it.
@AntiCheatWard Finally we found profesional EA employe who start doing sometihng about it. Please just update us on the progress. In a separate thread, another EA employee left us 14 days ago without any response (we are working, checking and that's all). We feel like EA doesn't give a damn about us, but we are the same players as PS or Xbox owners. We just want to have fun playing your game.
- @AntiCheatWard please can you disable cross play in fc 25
and disable the anti-cheat till you fix that issue then enable it again?
so we can play normally until you finish - @AntiCheatWard i think it should be a good idea
so we can play next fut champions please Nice, you did great job.
- listen, in nba2k25 it's like when you run the game from the steam window, then steam asks whether to run the game with or without cheateasy and then we only play offline!
@AntiCheatWard Can I add other problems that I think it comes because of anticheat. Stuttering, controller not recognised (again like at the start of the game EA FC 25, but then fixed with Patch update 2, now same problem after the updates in November), so controller not even recognised, only keyboard and mouse, and even with that stuttering happens in game and in Division rivals and Weekend League I lose control of players, they start running straight of the pitch and I can not defend.
Please fix this.
