Easy Anti Cheat Aint Being So Easy Why
Had no issues up until today, played for a few hours had everything work as usual. Few hours past came back to play, can't be within the menus or playing the game for more than 10 minutes without it ...

Tried a few more things, nothing works. I've seen people have gone as far as reinstalling Windows completely, I will definitely not be doing that. At this point the game has become unplayable till EA fixes this.

@Onlybans21 I'm looking into your scenario now. This one seems like something we can fix.Please let me know as soon as possible, I was playing this past weekend & this morning without any issues. After stepping away for a few hours I come back and I've tried pretty much everything. I refuse to reinstall windows however because that just doesn't make sense to do so.
- AntiCheatWard@Rokebo73 Yeah, DS4Windows and other software emulators for input are not allowed. That hasn't changed, the DS4Windows and similar software updated to try and evade our blocks, and we've updated again accordingly.
As all modern versions of Windows can support gamepads without this software, there's no reason we need to allow them, and on the contrary, they are used often for cheating.
Hope this helps. @Rokebo73This has nothing to do with DS4windows , game ran fine for everyone up till last night.
@AntiCheatWard I don't see any updates via the EA launcher for BF 2042 , what exactly and how did you deploy a hotfix ?
- AntiCheatWard@off3nc3 EA anticheat updates independently of the game, so you wouldn't see an update in the EA app.
It would've automatically downloaded the update the next time you launch the game while you see the Battlefield 2042 splash screen.@AntiCheatWardI have been getting BSOD and/or CTD when starting BF2042 due to ExpressVPN running in the background. I don't know how a VPN could be used to cheat, but would you guys be able to whitelist VPN software so this stops happening? Or at the very least, could you detect if a VPN is actually in use before triggering your countermeasures? I haven't been using the VPN during gaming, but regardless, I have to stop all related background services and apps to avoid crashes.
Also, a much friendlier user experience would be a simple dialog box telling the user what unapproved app was detected. Forcefully restarting the whole machine is quite harsh and could cause loss of other user data.
