Re: Rewasd error but no rewasd on computer

@Mylitlpwny In you case it could be because the anti-cheat has seemingly been updated to ban reWASD (https://twitter.com/BFBulletin/status/1786095084502446431), so it might be detecting the files on your computer still, even if the programme isn't running. However, I'm not a PC player so I can't say that's definitely the case, as it's not something I can test myself.

@TechhNyne If you don't have it installed at all then I'm not sure why you'd get this error. Perhaps there's something else on your computer which the anti-cheat doesn't like, but it's mis-identifying it? Have you tried a clean boot?

    Because that's how anti-cheat software works. In case of EA anticheat, the anti-cheat only scans what is attached to the game executable, nothing outside of that.

    found a fix for anyone who doesnt want to uninstall rewasd. even if you think you closed it, it has a background service. Task manager -> Services tab (Top right, expand to advanced) -> "reWASDService" -> right click -> stop. This will stop reWASD and all controller stuff from working, but you can play the game without uninstalling.
