@Rokebo73 I ran into issues because for some reason I didn't have an easy anti cheat folder.
I got frustrated so I just gave up and completely reset my PC. The game seems to work again now.
Thanks for all your help along the way though!
@Rokebo73 It does not. It did originally, but at some point trying to fix it the EAC window stopped popping up. It just opens the EA app and then nothing happens.
@Rokebo73 steam
@Rokebo73 The only other game platform running was battle.net. I closed it and tried opening battlefield again and nothing changed.
