When loading bf2042 it stops and says to remove rewasd or reapart and try again
i do not have rewasd on my computer. Im not sure why it is saying that. I was playing fine for weeks and jjst today started saying this and game wont load
i have rewasd but ive had it forever and never had this error before. also its not even running on my pc, so not sure why its telling me it is.
Was there a mini update or something that caused my game to stop running like 3 days ago?
@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?
Im also curious why is anticheat scanning your computer files like that? As if i dont hate dice and ea enough now i find out they scanning all files. Geez

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.
