Yeah. Same issue here bro, With this game is also too much sluggish now, Lags too much. I have done everything till now, even contacted the helpline but nothing is working.

I used to have problem with the lag too before when I bought the game a month ago , made some fixes for a bottleneck problem , and it worked , but after some updates things started to get weird , I had weird delay while playing Bf6 and talking either on Discord/TeamSpeak , then I had some latency and packet loss problems , and now this problem with crashing on start up.In case you can find any fix or something , let me know , I really need it too.

I am facing same issues till now. Whenever i get the solution, I will let you know.

Same, i had this issue for a week and it was working with a verify integrity files check fix. Everytime. Now that is not working either. Useless from help so far from ea.

Hello friend!Penguin give big thanks for mentioning this issue at the Official Discord chat!Some launch issues been Solved by, starting with the simplest suggestions first:👇1: Running Game and EA anti cheat as Administrator.From the primary game folder Right Click BF6.exe select More options, Properties, Compatatibility, check: Run this program as an Administrator, make sure Run This program in compatibility mode is not enabled.Repeat this process for Javelin EaAnticheat launcher as well.2: While at the properties page, make sure your windows user has full Control access and Especially Modify Control:The page should look like this: And not like this: If you still cannot successfully launch the game after this, Penguin suggest you go to the primary folder of the game 👉 EAAnticheat, Launch: EAAntiCheat.installer Do not click repair, but select uninstall, the uninstall seems to have higher success rate than ''Repair''.After this you can try re-launch the game.If this doesn't work we can still dig deeper, but this is at least a few recommended steps that has worked in some cases on this forum.Many thanks!Penguin

Battlefield 6 won't open

After the Nightfall Update , I wanted to open the game , every time I am opening the game , I see for half a minute the splash screen with the Battlefield 6 and EA Anti-Cheat , then for another 30 seconds I see a windowed black screen of the game and after the game shuts down , I am getting sent back to EA App without any error message , any notifications regarding the unexpected crash of the game. I didn't had this problem till the release of the new Update.

Things that I've done so far trying to fix it:

Updating my GPU drivers , and Windows updates
I checked the "Event Viewer" in Windows search and looked up for the EA Javelin error , all I found was in the text box it said "The game bf6.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0x186AA"
The next fixes regarding the EA Anti-cheat , I've seen people telling me to try this:
I use EA Anti-cheat.exe from the Battlefield 6 folder and choose where the game is installed and then I click Repair , nothing fixed it
I also deleted the EAanticheat.exe from the Battlefield 6 folder and then went on EA App and clicked "Repair" and still nothing.

What can I do ??

I managed to make a new Windows User , got to the EA App and launched the game , and still the same thing , crashing after opening the black screen for half a minute and then back on EA App.

Alright friend!

Penguin thinking:
That means it can be fair to suggest that the issue is probably not user account related thanks to this test:

Feel free to delete the recently created user: Windows + I, navigate to accounts, find the selected user and remove account.

Next move would be to start taking a look at hardware, and Windows 11, security certificates, TPM(Secure boot) and BIOS.

1: Make sure to update all hardware related drivers, especially Chipset driver.
Restart PC after driver updates. (Otherwise the registry keys in Windows won't properly update)

2: If game still refuses to start try unplug everything that isn't necessary to have connected to the PC while trying to launch the game.
Some users have earlier reported that even having a USB-Drive connected to the PC made Javelin Anticheat block the game process, (Fully why is unclear over here, but has been reportedly so)

3: Close any background processes and game overlays that might be interfering with/or getting wrongly flagged by Javelin Anticheat, RGB control software on PC? Steam overlay, Microsoft Gamebar overlays, NVIDIA overlay/or similar if you have

3: Check for any windows updates, especially security updates.

If you're still not able to launch the game👇

4: Penguin can recommend checking your motherboards manufacturers website to see if they have been pushing out a newer BIOS version for your system. Security Certificates also running out later this year according to ASUS website.

Only follow your motherboards manufacturers steps if available

Many Thanks!
