easy anti-cheat not allowing me to play.

Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
AMD or Nvidia Model Number 4914 0031
Enter RAM memory size in GB 16GB
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Conquest
Please select your region Europe
On which server did this happen? all solo
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) most of the time i get into any game
Summarize your bug the anti cheat will kick me out of a game after almost every game, i have no cheats and i almost only play solo / vs bots. if i close the game and re-boot it, i can play 1 game and then it will not let me join another unless i close the game again and re-boot again, this has only happened since the new update (season 2)
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? not sure, could be that the anti cheat is detecting something on my system and thinks its a cheat.
What happens when the bug occurs? just kicks me, or refuses me to join a game
What should be happening instead? i should be loaded into a match 100% of the time.

i can sometimes play 1 full game until anti-cheat kicks me from a game.

first 2 times it's happened was both when i called in the ranger bot dog, every other time it has stopped letting me join another match after playing 1 full match, saying that the anti-cheat is refusing me to play.

these are all solo matches vs bots.

i play this game on a razor laptop.

    Hey @Rokebo73,

    Is it not necessary to ask other players to create a new topic, if they're experiencing the exact same issue. If they create a new topic, it will be merged with an existig topic about the same issue either way, if there is one. Thanks.
