Description:
Battlefield 6 fails to launch via EA App due to a crash in EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe (exception code 0xc0000409).

The issue started on April 10. Prior to that date, the game was launching and running without any problems.

I attempted multiple troubleshooting steps, including repairing the game, uninstalling it completely, and reinstalling it from scratch, but the issue persisted.

I then checked the Windows Event Viewer logs and performed a systematic troubleshooting process by disabling background applications one by one. Through trial and error, I identified that the issue occurs when the WireSock application is running. This troubleshooting process took approximately two days.

WireSock Secure Connect is a WireGuard-based VPN client for Windows that supports features like selective application tunneling and advanced traffic routing. ()

Download link for testing:
https://wiresock.net/wiresock-secure-connect/download

The application is configured to route traffic through the Netherlands and is used only to allow Discord connectivity.

When WireSock is active, the game fails to launch. When it is closed, Battlefield 6 launches normally.

Please download and test this application on your side, as this appears to be a compatibility issue between EA AntiCheat and WireSock.

Please investigate this issue.
