Cheers for creating this post.
So the issues started all of a sudden a few days ago, right? Out of the blue?
Hey there. Yeah, it started I think on Monday for me. At first, I thought It was BF42-related but realised none of the EAC-protected games was working (I tested Rust and Arc)
After a bit of googling I saw Lost Ark (also uses EAC) forums were filled with people who are having similar problems.
From what I gathered this seems to be affecting mostly people who have high end AMD CPUs (I have 5900X - RTX 3090) although I might be wrong on this.

@aelthain, cheers for the update!
You might have given this a try already, but can you maybe give the following a try again when you have time?
- First, give your system a reboot
- Repair BF2042 via Origin or the EA app, or verify the game files via Steam
- See if you're now still experiencing the same issue- 4 years ago
Hey @EA_Leeuw You're right to assume I've already tried that. Other than Steam, I've reinstalled everything else at least 10 times. I've also tried everything under the EAC's troubleshooting page at least a dozen times.
As I said, I can get BF2042 to run about 80% of the time after moving it to my system drive. However, when I quit the game, it freezes Steam and Origin ThinClient. If I try to kill them from the task manager, I get a "you're not authorised to do this" message. This suggests it's EAC's doing, considering neither Origin nor Steam runs with kernel-level privilege and can't prevent Windows from killing them.
You can google "lost ark eac 10110" or "battlefield EAC 10110" and see the other people who're experiencing this issue.
