Re: Game Crashes To a Black Screen After Launch

Both Battlefield V and Battlefield 6 are crashing on my system with either BSOD or CTD.

BF6 often fails during:

*splash screen (“Starting EA Javelin AntiCheat”)

*shader compilation

*loading into match

BFV is more stable but can also crash.

Crash signature (consistent across many dumps):

*MODULE_NAME: eaanticheat

*IMAGE_NAME: eaanticheat.sys

*FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: AV_eaanticheat!unknown_function

*Bugcheck: 0x1E / 0xA (varies)

System:

*Intel i5-14600K

*RTX 4070 SUPER

*MSI Z790 GAMING PLUS WIFI

*Windows 11 (fully updated)

What I've tried:

*reinstalled EA AntiCheat

*reinstalled BFV and BF6

*multiple NVIDIA driver versions (clean installs)

*cleared shader / DirectX caches

*SFC / DISM checks

*memory Integrity tested on/off

*PCIe Link State Power Management changed

*fresh Windows install previously done

Other games are stable. Stress tests (CPU/GPU/RAM) passes. The issue is, as far as I am aware, only present in EA titles using Javelin AntiCheat (BFV/BF6).

Is this "eaanticheat.sys" (AV_eaanticheat!unknown_function) crash a known issue affecting some Intel 13th/14th gen + Z790/B760 systems?

I have the same problem. I've been going crazy looking for solutions. I discovered that when launching the game without going through the EA App it works, I even managed to play a match, but after a while I got kicked out of the match due to expired session. When launching through the EA App, I can't even reach the game mode selection menu and it closes instantly to desktop with no message or error whatsoever. . The last time I played successfully was June 6th, everything worked fine back then."

Just to say I'm also experiencing the same since May.
I have tried 3 times to post a discussion with all my findings, and 3 times its been marked as spam by the system!
Similar situation - checked all the same stuff, except XTU so far.
Processor Intel Core i9-14900K
MBoard: ROG STRIX Z790-F GAMING WIFI II
Memory: Kingston Beast Fury DDR5 6400 64GB (XMP enabled)
GFX: Asus Rog Strix RTX 5070Ti OC
OS drive: WD Black SN850X 1TB
Game Drive: WD Black SN850X 4TB
Windows 11 Pro - 25H2 - 26200.8655
Oddly its far worse for me if I either use a headset/voice comms like Steam or Discord...
or
enable XP boosts in game.
I can't explain it.
All other games ok.

Hi, still dealing with the same issue but wanted to share some progress.
This time I launched the game without being connected to EA, then signed in from within the game itself to reach the main menu. From there I decided to test the campaign first — and it worked fine.
However, when I went back to the main menu and tried to join an online match, the game crashed right before it could find a game. It never actually matched me — it just closed at that point every single time.
Has anyone else experienced this or found a fix?
