[INFO] BF2042 Patch 8.8 (May 27) – Secure Boot Requirement for Supported Systems

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 

And you know it from?

1. 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.
2. 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).
3. 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.
4. Some legitimate apps (e.g., Corsair iCUE, Razer Synapse, MSI Afterburner) use similar low-level hooks for RGB lighting or overclocking, triggering false positives.

who have been around since the very beginning of the franchise.

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
