Update. I tried Nvidia driver 577.00 with a clean install and uninstalling EA anti cheat and reinstalling direct from EA with 2042 selected as the game and the game still crashes my PC on launch of the game, I analysed the latest crash dump from windows and this is what i got. Is there a way to inspect crash logs from ea anti cheat specifically? Does it not like my keyboard which has G keys? Could EA_Brickto1 WarbladeX23 EA_eircon MotiveTibby Canbacon from staff please look into this ASAP. Thanks.
The !analyze -v output indicates a Windows kernel bugcheck with code 0x1E (KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED), caused by the driver eaanticheat.sys. Below is a concise analysis:
Key Details:
- Bugcheck Code: 0x1E (KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED)
- Exception Code: 0xC0000005 (Access Violation), indicating the driver attempted to access invalid memory.
- Exception Address: fffff804776470b7 (in eaanticheat.sys at offset 0x31370b7).
- Parameters:
- Parameter 0: 0x0
- Parameter 1: 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF (invalid memory address).
- Driver Involved: eaanticheat.sys (Electronic Arts' anti-cheat driver, used in games like Battlefield 2042).
- Process Name: BF2042.exe (Battlefield 2042 executable).
- Faulting Module: eaanticheat.sys.
- Issue: The driver caused an access violation, likely attempting to read/write to an invalid memory address (0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF).
Root Cause:
The eaanticheat.sys driver triggered an unhandled exception (access violation) in kernel mode, likely due to a bug in its code at offset 0x31370b7. This could result from improper memory handling, a null pointer dereference, or accessing freed memory.
