Re: easy anti-cheat not allowing me to play.

@EA_Leeuw yes, this has worked, played a couple of games just to clarify and testing some of the stuff that booted me before, and thankfully had no problems.

thank you for the help!

    Yesterday the bug was random.

    Today i tried before testing the clean bot and i was able to play.

    I'm not sure it would help on my PC but if the bug comes back i'll give a try.

    Thanks for your help.

    Im having the error where the game is kicking me for cheating, mid match, while im just playing with friends. Solo games even, but i'm not cheating! It never happened before the 2.0 update.

    Pic is a screenshot from the game. I never cheated and never will. This is infuriating.

    Update and (maybe) solution for the ones who still have this bug.

    I had the problem for few days. Being able to play 8 out of 9 games without problem, but sometimes got kicked by EasyAC.

    I tried to scan my PC, repair the game on Origin, Clean boot... Nothing helped.

    Then i saw in a other thread a player complaining about this bug since months... explaining he has to re instal the game after each patch to solve the bug...

    I did a clean uninstall of the game and re instal it.

    Not a single problem since 10 days.

    Hey @Rokebo73,

    Is it not necessary to ask other players to create a new topic, if they're experiencing the exact same issue. If they create a new topic, it will be merged with an existig topic about the same issue either way, if there is one. Thanks.
