FYI i figured out how to fix it, verify your game files. i had 22 files fail to validate and redownload and now i dont have the issue.
This game has been an expensive headache. It crashes constantly, and now I'm getting booted every match for this anti-cheat bug. I bought it on EA launcher and as soon as I decided it's a cool game and bought the newbie pack, or whatever it's called, it started to crash at launch. I'm running the launcher, the game and easy anti-cheat as administrator. That worked for about an hour, now I'm back to crashing at start up, getting kicked from sessions and feeling like an idiot for not accepting that steam reviews are usually pretty accurate, this is like malware on my system. I'll just uninstall and remember this anytime I see EA on anything I'm considering.
If anyone finds this and is having the same problem with the anti-cheat, I'm using Windows and EA launcher and I've been running for about 5 hours with no kicks and no failures to load the game, after creating an exception in Windows Defender for Easy Anti-Cheat. I was also getting CPU spikes after a few rounds before I created that exception, and I'm not having that problem anymore either. The launcher, the game and the anti-cheat app are all running as admin.
Battlefield trying really hard to * people off by NOT posting and NOT fixing *. These guys should be fing ashamed.
