This is a sad joke. The number of items which are now seen as security concerns and weren't before make no sense. Many items like RGB controls and the like have absolutely no no bearing whatsoever on cheats. And there are several legit programs on their list as well that don't have any effect on the game
A line was crossed by the developers with this nonsense and I suspect that it's not going to hinder those it should but instead hurt those who play cleanly, have paid for the game and helped support it despite loads of issues, and who have been around since the very beginning of the franchise.
If this is how it's going to go moving forward, EA/DICE isn't getting another penny from me. This is utterly small asinine and solves nothing.

And you know it from?
- Anti-cheat systems often use heuristic scanning (behavioural analysis or signature detection) to identify potentially malicious software. If the criteria are too broad, harmless programs can get caught in the net.
- RGB controllers, peripheral utilities, or even system monitoring tools might interact with hardware or memory in ways that resemble cheat software (e.g., injecting DLLs or accessing low-level processes).
- Modern anti-cheat systems (like EA's, if it's kernel-based) require high-level permissions to monitor all running processes. This means they scrutinize everything running on your system, not just the game.
- Some legitimate apps (e.g., Corsair iCUE, Razer Synapse, MSI Afterburner) use similar low-level hooks for RGB lighting or overclocking, triggering false positives.

Yes exactly you OG players are the ones who asked all that and finally EA is answering to your cries by making moves against cheaters. Nobody else to blame here then yourself. So suck it up and disable few apps that you won't need anyway and you can continue having fun in Battlefield series

It's cute you took all that time to draft a post that solves nothing. The OG players weren't asking for this crap, so take your blanket generalization and suck it up as the BS it is.
There is no need to disable anything. EA is to blame here for broadly impacting the playability of their own game by flagging things that aren't the problem. And if their anti cheat was even half as good as they've said it was all along, they wouldn't have had a need to do any of this.

If you think you don't have any hand involved in that then you have never reported any cheater?
