EAC keeps kicking me no matter what.

I’ve done every work around up to uninstalling BF2042 and reinstalling it and I can play for a few minutes and then get kicked for easy anti cheat authentication failed. Usually repairing the EAC in the game files fixes the problem. I’ve disabled my firewall and added exemptions on my antivirus software. It will run for a few minutes then I get kicked. My ms service says it running as well when the game is running. I’m stumped. All I can think of is the new update is causing this issue. I am a PC player with a pretty high end gaming PC. Please help if you can. I also checked to see if I was banned from BF2042 and I’m not banned maybe because I don’t cheat. Help please.

    Hey @ReXGHavoK,

    What is the exact error that you're getting?

    Also, Patch 5.1.0 just released. Are you still experiencing the error?

    Easy anti cheat authentication failed is the error 

    And I just seen the update this morning. It’s updating now as we speak. I’ll let you know if this new update helped solve my problem. I hope it does.

    Ok so I did the update and restarted my PC, jumped into a breakthrough game and was able to play for 3-4 minutes then got ejected for violating easy anti cheat policy. And now I just lost connection to the EA servers. These are the same problems I have been having since the game’s launch. Thanks for your help but I don’t know what to do from here. My firewall did ask me to give permission for the game to run pass the firewall security measures. But IDK.

    I did some more digging and found that EAC is installed on my C drive in Program File in a folder by itself and also in Mt BF2042 folder on my S drive. I don’t know how this happened but I assume that maybe this was causing the issue but I’m not sure. Will keep you informed.

    @ReXGHavoK  As soon ya install BF2042, EAC will be installed at the C: drive in Program Files indeed. That is normal !
    Any other anti cheat installed from other games-> EOS_EAC or something similair ?

    Uninstall EAC with REVO UNINSTALLER. Dont forget to delete files in (hidden folders) PROGRAM DATA and in
    C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local
    C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming

    Reboot system

    Now reinstall EAC, or do a Game Repair in gameplatform.
    Keep us uptodate.

    Thanks
