Can't load Battlefield 2042

So today, I decided I wanted to play 2042 again after the BF6 beta. So I load up the game, and it loads up to the loading screen, then I get a beeping noise, and then an error showing up saying that Anti-Cheat found that one of my Alienware files needs to be disabled or updated. Fine, did an update through Windows. Restarted the computer, loaded up the EA app, loaded 2042, same error message. Okay. So I decided to repair the game. Did that, load up. SAME ERROR. At this point, I am utterly confused and frustrated with EA and their stupid system. So I come here to find a solution. The file that Anti-cheat says needs to be updated is NITIOLib.sys, NITIOLib_Thermals_X64.sys, or NITIOLib_X64.sys. If someone can help me, that would be great. I am not very tech-savvy. Thanks!

    Hi M8trex​ ,
    So I maybe have the solution to your problem. 

    Try renaming these files, for example:
    NITIOLib.sys --> NITIOLib.sys.backup
    NITIOLib_Thermals_X64.sys --> NITIOLib_Thermals_X64.sys.backup

    Let me know if it's working 😇
