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.

Hey @ReXGHavoK,
If you're still getting this error, it most likely means that there's something installed on your PC that causes the error.
You could try to boot your PC into a clean-boot state and play the game to see if you still have the issue: https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/.- 3 years ago
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.
