Battlefield Anti-cheat refuses to install
Hi there, I have installed Battlefield 2042 through Steam and have not been able to boot the game as the anticheat refuses to load.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the anti-cheat, repairing game files, running the EA app as an administator, deleting all other games from my pc, turning off my antivirus and have restarted my PC around 30 times. Wondering if there is a workaround for this?
Tetering on the edge of fully resetting my PC and only downloading Steam, EA, and Battlefield 2042 as I don't know what the issue could be other than what I have already 'fixed'.
I have included screenshots of all problems I have encountered while trying to fix this issue. Please look and take them into account.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.
After trying several solutions for an hour and a half, the problem was finally resolved.
Here are the steps that were taken :
Complete restoration of EA Anticheat (With a file from my own PC to force the uninstallation of EAAantiCheat)
I tried the manual method, but it didn't work, so I did everything using the repair tool.
EAAntiCheat.GameService.dll
EAAntiCheat.GameService.exe
EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe
---------------------------------
- RESULT BEFORE RESTORATION -
Event log -> Failed retrieving service path
EAAntiCheat.exe ->

Install failed:701
-------------------------------
Forcing activation of the EAAntiCheat service
(I didn't need to uninstall it because it wouldn't install with the user files)sc create EAAntiCheatService binPath= "C:\Program Files\EA\AC\EAAntiCheat.GameService.exe" start= autoTesting :
sc start EAAntiCheatService sc query EAAntiCheatServiceAfter that launch EAAntiCheat.Installer to uninstall completely
