I work for a company that owns Webroot so I have access to both the consumer and business product, here is what I see:
Consumer Webroot: Not able to launch the game, even with exclusions. I cannot launch the game even if I "shut down protection". I can only launch the game if I uninstall WSA completely.
Business Webroot: I can only launch the game if I add these two files to the Block/Allow files in the Webroot UI:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 2042\BF2042_launcher.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat\EasyAntiCheat.exe
Side note #1: I am not sure how you got this file to be excluded, Webroot says it's not an executable:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 2042\BF2042.exe
Side note #2: I ran a Windows Procmon trace (from sysinternals) when WSA was "shut down" and I saw WRCoreService.x64.exe still running and scanning the Game executables, which is probably why the game is still blocked despite WSA being "shut down". WR does not allow a user (or admin) to kill this service through task manager or CMD.
i posted the fix for both
