Request for Clarification: Is Lossless Scaling Safe to Use with EA AntiCheat?

Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask for an official clarification regarding the use of a third-party program called Lossless Scaling in Battlefield 6 (and other EA titles).

Lossless Scaling is a legitimate Steam app that enhances performance by improving frame pacing, upscaling, and even providing frame generation options. It doesn’t modify the game files directly — it works by adjusting how the image is displayed on the screen.

I’ve contacted EA Help multiple times to confirm whether this tool is safe to use with EA AntiCheat, but each response I’ve received so far has been very general, only saying that EA “doesn’t recommend third-party software that may affect gameplay.” None of the agents could confirm if Lossless Scaling specifically falls under that category or if it has ever caused false bans or detections.

I completely understand the need to protect the integrity of multiplayer games, but I think it would be helpful for players if EA could provide an official stance or add this information to the EA AntiCheat documentation.

So my questions are:

Has Lossless Scaling been officially tested or cleared for use with Battlefield 6?

Can it safely be used for improving frame generation or upscaling without triggering EA AntiCheat?

If it’s not approved, could the team consider reviewing it since it’s widely used and available on Steam?

Thank you for your time and for forwarding this to the appropriate team if necessary.
I think a clear answer here would really help players avoid confusion and unnecessary risk.

Best regards.

  • Am official response would be nice, as yes the game runs on my pc but I feel I'm at a disadvantage to those running higher frame rates this might help level the paying field since not everyone can afford to go out and buy new hardware, some of us are stuck with what we have.

    Would be nice to get an official response, but I doubt it.

    Hopefully they can eventually comment on this, since FSR is so ugly and DLSS doesn't run on old cards.
