"Then create a new Windows user (don't delete the main)." This won't change a single thing, don't do this. Drivers are kernel based and the problem will be exactly the same.
Fully remove the Javelin Anti-Cheat driver and all EA App data, then reinstall the EA App and relink your account. If the games still fail, request a server-side license reset from EA support.
Hi IamSharkx 👋
I get your point about drivers being kernel-based, but that’s not the reason I suggested creating a new Windows user.
Many EA App and Battlefield issues are not caused by the driver itself, but by corrupted user-profile data (registry keys, AppData configs, cached licenses, permission issues, etc.). When you create a fresh Windows user, you get a clean AppData, Documents, and registry hive. This eliminates the possibility that leftover EA App configs, broken cache, or profile-bound license data are blocking the game.
It’s not meant to “fix” the driver, but to rule out environment corruption on the main account. If the game works on the new user, then we know the root cause is in the original profile, not in the global system. That’s why this step is used in troubleshooting by many publishers (Microsoft, Ubisoft, Steam, etc.) when games fail to launch.
Yes, a new account can rule out profile corruption, but in this case the problem is caused by Javelin Anti cheat and EA server side license issues, so a new user won’t solve the underlying issue. GG's
