Battlefield 2042 anti-cheat wont allow MSI Afterburner Overlays and Benchmarks

I am planning on upgrading my GPU so I have been taking benchmarks on all my most played games to compare the performance difference when I do upgrade. The only games that wont work are EA games with Anti-Cheat. 

I have seen other people have the same issue and no word of it being fixed.

Does anyone know a work around?

I dont see the issue with Afterburner, like GeForce Experience allows in game overlays. 

I have also seen people say that they arent able to record and stream etc which is a big problem to anyone who already does that ad those like me that plan to.

    That's correct. Those apps are unnecessary and rubbish anyway

    Pretty despicable move; I can't use OCAT or MSIAB at all now.

    There is no solution for this, EA decided to ban all third party apps, as you will see on the thread below, with the introduction of season 6 (including EA AC, as previously BF2042 did not have this anti cheat , it had easyanticheat) all third party apps stopped working (were blocked). From what you read in the link below, there were even people who had problems with AIO water cooling. They had a choice to either say goodbye to BF2042 or blast the AIO driver which caused the PC to stop cooling, the game would run but you could fry eggs in the PC. 🙂

    Also, if you buy new EA games with their AC [as far as I know all new EA games have EA AC], you automatically agree that no third party apps will work including some drivers.

    The only solution to this problem is a response from the EA studio administration in the form of a whitelist extension, which doesn't seem to be happening.
