Re: [FIX RELEASED] BF2042 PC - Blue Screen of Death Due to EA anticheat

What is the exact error message or code that you're getting / How does it behave:
EAAntiCheat.GameService.exe is consuming 24GB of memory in Task Manager

What Windows version are you using (click here on how to see this):
Win 11 23H2 922631.3527

Do you play Battlefield 2042 via the EA app, Steam, or Epic:
EA App

When does the error occur (launching the game, during gameplay, closing the game, etc.):
Right after launching the game EAAntiCheat.GameService.exe quickly leaks memory, racing up to 24GB by the time I get in a game. I've tried completely removing the game, anticheat, EA app, and reinstalling. Same problem persists. I tried turning off core isolation and clearing DX cache but no difference. Drivers are all up to date and this computer/windows are only 2 months old.  Played every day until today with no issues, but now I can notice some micro stutter in the game and I think this could be the issue.

    I have the same problem. I notice the weird stuttering starting yesterday. Now EA Anti-Cheat is consuming 25 plus gigs of memory. This machine has 500 plus hours of BF2042 with no changes and now this. Definitely a change on EA/DICE's end.
