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