Battlefield 6 Steam Suddenly Won’t Get Past Splash Screen

I have been playing for a couple months no problem, having fun, but suddenly, this Monday the 5th I noticed that it no longer was able to launch the game.  I would see the splash screen, text at the bottom changes, says game will launch, and then nothing. 

I then went on to try every solution I could find online.  It seems like a lot of people had my problem when it came out, but none of the things that worked for them worked for me.  And I didn't notice any comments by anyone to whom this happened suddenly, as was my case, so I thought it was worth posting.  

 

I've spent hours trying the following solutions : 

  • launched in admin mode
  • reverted to past nvidia driver : 591:59
  • exploit protection : added bf6 and anticheat launcher  .exe files with all options checked off.
  • disabled my bitdefender as far as I could
  • deleted and reinstalled (now going to try reinstalling in different location)
  • tried reinstalling windows even
  • I've reinstalled the EA App
  • verified game files
  • ensured smooting is off on nvidia
  • deleted and reinstalled DirectX and Windows 2015-2022 x64 and x86
  • tried creating a new local windows user account, to try the game out there.  still no

I've tried other stuff too.. went pretty deep with chatgpt.  but this is driving me nuts.  

My modest specs : 

ryzen 7 5700X

RTX3060

B450 Gaming Plus max

32gb ddr4

  • I believe the problem is that the game is not appearing in the EA APP.  When I launch the game through steam, the splash window appears, but EA APP is never solicited.  If EA APP is off when I launch the game, the EA app never launches.  I'm not sure how to rectify this.

  • nicorette12345​ look in Windows Event Viewer for EA anticheat or BF6 error messages. Look under 'Windows Logs / Applications'.
