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 task manager.
CPU I5 13400k GPU 1080Ti
Does anyone have a solution or do I have to wait until BF 7 to delude myself that the devs will stop killing the series?
Can any of you Battlefield 2042 players tell me if they fixed the AntiCheat for you guys when they first saw the problem and how long it took them to fix it or is it still not fixed?
any news?
Guys, I'm sorry to inform you and given the lack of response, @AntiCheatWard ended up dying, the funeral will be announced soon
Hi, I've been having the same issue the past few weeks / month on Battlefield 5.
Was running smoothly on high settings. Then noticed my screen started to freeze for a second or two every couple of minutes. For no reason whatsoever (no Win updates, new installs, etc). I assumed it was an issue with my PC.
Scanned my machine for malware - nothing.
Then I thought it might be the SSD. Spent an hour trying loads of potential fixes.
Mucked around with EVERY setting in the game, NVidia settings, Power settings, you name it, I tried it all. Nothing was working.
Then I noticed the System process was spiking every 10-20 seconds. Would be idle (around 0.3%) then spike up to 5%, 25% and even as high as 60% maxing out the CPU on my machine thus causing the stuttering. It was even using more processing power than the game itself!!
I noticed the service didn't fluctuate AT ALL when the game was closed.
Again... Spent ages researching possible fixes.
Re-installed the game.
Reinstalled Windows.
Installed BFV and the anti cheat system and bang. Literally spent ages reinstalling everything, Opened up BFV and stuttering again!!!
Ran Windows Performance Analyzer and recorded the spikes whilst monitoring the CPU over a minute with BFV running in the background. I already knew the System process was the cause, but drilling down I found the below listed twice using a substantial amount of resources.
System (4)
[Root]
- eaanticheat.sys!<Missing ImagedId event>
ntoskrnl.exe! and nvlddmkm.sys! were listed under the system process too, but using a very small amount of resources.
The issue is clearly with EA Anti Cheat! Please resolve, the game is literally unplayable and so frustrating when it freezes and you die!
@AntiCheatWard Please sort this out!
