Battlefield 6 Crashes and Doesn't Launch Until Restart

Is BF6, EA anticheat, and EA app all installed on C: drive?

If not then uninstall everything.

• BF6
• EA anticheat. Make sure to select 'uninstall all'. https://help.ea.com/en/articles/platforms/pc-ea-anticheat/
• EA app

Reboot the computer to finish uninstalling EA anticheat kernel driver.

Then install everything on C: drive. There's a bug and EA anticheat will only look for files on C: drive.

Also install everything to default install folders. For example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield 6

Oskool....where have you read info 'there's a bug and EA anticheat will only look for files on C drive'?

If you installed Battlefield 6 through Steam, EA AntiCheat is probably pointing to the wrong folder (C:) instead of your actual Steam library drive (like G: or D:). That mismatch between Steam and EA’s path registration breaks the anti-cheat service and causes all of those errors.

Why this happens
EA AntiCheat registers a Windows service called EAAntiCheatService during install. That service’s executable path is stored in the Windows registry here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EAAntiCheatService

For Steam users who install games on another drive, the installer still writes:
C:\Program Files\EA\AC\eaanticheat.gameservice.exe

That’s wrong if your Battlefield 6 folder is actually on another drive. Because of that, EA AntiCheat can’t start and Battlefield 6 crashes or fails to launch.

Instead of doing everything in that post I just recommend people install everything on C: drive using default install folders.

Not a valid option for me. If it will not run on a drive besides C then I will need a refund becasue that is not a reasonable expectation. Also my game has ran fine until the update several days ago. Over 100 hours with no crashing and it was installed on my A drive which is my third drive. So you need a new hypothesis.
