Blue Screen Errors After Switching from Steam to EA App

Hello everyone,

I’ve been experiencing some serious issues with my PC that might be related to the new kernel-level anti-cheat system Javelin used by Battlefield 6.

Problem Description:

  • I initially installed the Battlefield 6 Beta via Steam and was able to play without issues.
  • Later, I uninstalled the Steam version and installed Battlefield 6 through the EA App instead.
  • Since switching, I’ve been getting frequent blue screen errors (driver crashes) during startup of my pc.

Observations:

  • Before switching to the EA App, everything worked fine, including with Javelin.
  • Blue screens occurred regardless of whether Battlefield 6 was running or not.
  • Windows Event Viewer logs often showed driver-related errors, notably involving my Wi-Fi adapter drivers, shortly before the crashes.
  • After uninstalling the Wi-Fi adapter drivers, the blue screens have stopped occurring.
  • I’m not sure if Javelin continues to run in the background even when Battlefield 6 is closed.

Steps Taken So Far:

  • Completely removed the Steam version of Battlefield 6.
  • Uninstalled the Wi-Fi adapter drivers, after which the blue screen errors stopped.
  • EA App version is currently installed and playable.
  • Windows and GPU drivers are fully updated.
  • Blue screen error codes have been documented and can be provided if needed.

Questions:

  1. Does Javelin anti-cheat run continuously, even when Battlefield 6 is not running?
  2. Could Javelin potentially run more persistently or with fewer restrictions at boot when Battlefield 6 is installed via the EA App compared to Steam, causing conflicts with other drivers such as my Wi-Fi adapter?

System Information:

  • Windows 11
  • CPU: i5-12600KF
  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (with the latest drivers 25.8.1)
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte B660 Gaming X AX DDR4
  • Wi-Fi drivers: AMD RZ608/616 Wi-Fi Driver

Thanks in advance for your help!
