EAAntiCheat encountered an error. Please restart your PC.: C:\Program Files\EAVA

Been getting his error for the past week. Did everything I could find online, including 2x windows reinstalls. EA support being absolutely useless advising me to reinstall or repair EA anticheat, of which I probably reinstalled and repaired in the range of 20 times. 

I dont know what more to try. I've allowed all ea and game files in the firewall, did the file exclusion thing you can probably find online, 2 clean installations of windows, and a bunch of other things. I hope someone can advise, please.

    Hey there, 

    Do you use a controller to play the game? If you do and have any apps installed to use the controller, such as "DS4windows," can you please disable it, make sure its background services are closed, and then try running the game again?

    Thanks,

    @EA_cuervo This has nothing to do with DS4windows or playing with a gamepad.

    I've been playing this game just flawless for the past 6 months and getting PC lockouts and freezes that require a manually restart just started today.

    It's on DICE's end as usual.
