Re: Why do I get Easy Anti Cheat Policy Violated - Player Removed From Game?

@Rokebo73  Thanks for the suggestions but I already did all the troubleshooting that has been posted in this thread and in other threads.

One of the first steps in troubleshooting is to ask the question "What has changed?" My system is the same as it was when the game first came out. What has changed is the game itself so the most obvious answer is that it's the game causing the problem not my system. The fact that one of the leading fixes suggested is to 'repair the game files' backs this up. Now this is fine as a temporary workaround but the underlying problem still needs to be addressed by the developers. Instead the burden has been shifted to the user.

As I've said in one of my previous posts, this would be more tolerable if I had the ability to hop back into the same server after the game crashes but without a server browser it is impossible to do that.

@Rokebo73 Was EAC updated in the BF2042 patch that caused this error. If it wasn't then it's not an EAC issue it's a BF2042 issue.

@Rokebo73 I will reiterate. NOTHING on my system has changed. No new software, no new hardware, absolutely nothing. If I was the only one having the issue then I might agree with you but the fact that many people had the issue come up AT THE SAME TIME tells me it has everything to do with the game update.

I am also frequently getting this feature the rare times I spin up this t3rd

Been getting the same error as well since Season 1. Kind of bloody tired of it. The only game with EAC that it does it to, too, so I know it's not my PC causing the issue... And to verify, I play it through Steam, have verified the game more times than I can think of and have reinstalled it multiple times out of frustration to try and fix last season's freezes and crashes *sigh*

If I can play Darktide, other FPS games, etc that utilize EAC and not have issues, let alone get removed from matches... it is definitely not my PC's problem.

Hi all,

1st time happened to me today and by playing Solo, I am running at PC and game is updated. After the last update I have played about 5 times Solo an the last one today had this error.

This feature has been happening to me after 1 and a half rounds give or take.  I've reinstalled the game twice; once on a new hard drive.  Tried different video cards.  Ran it on its own windows profile.  But this feature keeps happening.  I know there are a lot of features coming and going but this one is the worst.  I don't use steam.  I don't have issues on BFV.  I'm guessing it is a long running quality control issue.  But please DICE and EA, instead of fixing this, could you make a new, unwanted cartoon character for us to play on your game that doesn't work?

Verified Solution:

Uninstalled until the problem is fixed.

After hours of trial-errors and re try. Turns out it was the anti virus (BitDefender) which was "blocking" EAC. So, after uninstall it completely I was able to play. Thanks for the help.

What exactly has blocke, because I look at mine and didnt find anything!
Thanks

Hi all,

still happening, I have add as exception at Bitdefender and done also a workaround I read at reedit at the WIN10 Firewall but its still happening!

Hi all,

I have just remembered this one, I have installed the BATTLEFIELD 2042 UPDATE #3.1.0 as soon as was published and after 3 or 4 days installed STEAM at my PC which I had not installed for months although I have games! STEAM wasn't here after I have format my PC last spring I think!

I have search at STEAM directory and couldn't find any Easy Anti-Cheat directory there, I have only STEAM, not a simple game installed from there so far.

Could it be a STEAM Easy Anti-Cheat directory somewhere else and conflicts with the one from BF2042 and causing the error? Just a thought!

Thanks

Hi,
I am not running the game via STEAM, I am having it via EA/ORIGIN and since a week I am running the new EA app.

After my last post I have read the entire topic again to see if I have missed something and at the page 14 if I am not mistaken, I have read your post about this directory with EAC, have checked mine and show 2 folders there,
this one "C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat"
and another one like that "C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat_EOS".

I assume those are EAC installations from STEAM or at least the 1st one, I am not sure what's the 2nd with "EOS" at the end is or from where its coming from, which I have installed after the last BF2042 update and the error came up for the 1st time.

Again, after seeing that I have uninstalled STEAM and delete those 2 EAC folders from "C Drive", did again a repair at the game, also done a repair at the EAC.exe from the folder inside the BF2042 directory.

I assume those 2 folders was the problem as you mentioned.
I have run the game 3 or 4 times after that, played online and solo and I have no error!
I'll report back after a while to confirm that its solved which I think it is now!

Hi all,

so for us running the game via ORIGIN or EA App the solution from @Rokebo73  has worked and still working.
Played many games so far with no kick.

To summarize the problem has come to me by after installing STEAM.

STEAM has installed EAC also and this has meshed things up!

After I read @Rokebo73  advise, I have deleted the EAC directories from there,
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat_EOS",
as I have mentioned earlier I don't know exactly from where the 2nd directory came up, probably STEAM too!

Next step was to repair the EAC installation at BF2042 directory and that was it.

OK, but what if I want to play a STEAM game which runs with EAC?
EA has to forward this problem, I assume they know better what to do!

Well guess what,

seconds ago was playing online and kick from the game by EAC!!!!!!!!!!!

Something else that I have observed but I am not 100% sure, is that this happened while for example I had multi kills or something multi whatever, not always but I think at the most times.

Only

the same as by poststarter.

And to reply to your previous post, I only have Battlefileds installed at the momment, BC2, 1, 3, 4, 2042 and Star Citizen.

Everything went wrong after I have installed STEAM because I wanted to see WW3 which I didn't at the end because I have canceled the download.

After that for the 1st time had and still having the posts error.

By the way I just show that the EAC EOS probably is from Star Citizen because at the games folder there is that "EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup" but when I run the setup nothing is happening!
