BF6 Game Won't Start

For context: I recently updated my pc to the windows 11 25h2 from win 11 23h2 due to the end of support date for 23h2 being next week on November 11. The game worked fine on 23h2 but after updating to 25h2 whenever I start the game up on the EA app, the javelin anti cheat windows pops up, checks for updates, initializes, then closes itself. A normal startup sequence for javelin, but after 5 seconds (i assume) the game crashes and my EA app library window opens up again displaying the BF6   play button not greyed out anymore. Theres no error message just the game refusing to start up and sending me back to my EA library. I've tried some remediation options such as making sure I'm not using any storage spaces from windows, disabling exploit protection for BF6 and javelins .exes, cleared the EA app cache, verifying the game files, reinstalling the game, and restarting my PC. Nothing seems to work. As for updating my drivers, all of them are current except my nvidia GPU which I haven't updated due to reports of the latest update crashing people's computers when playing games. If anyone has any solution to my problem your help is greatly appreciated.

    ahh. Well also, the windows update did some stuff with security. Maybe my solution was a mix of a few things, in the windows and security app, program seetings, allow battlefield 6 and the anti cheat permissions. If you contact the chatline in EA support, hopeffully they will give you step by step directions for a few possible solutions.

    also clear steam download cash and verify files.

    may I ask, in your battlefield 6 folder, go to the anti cheat installer, open it up, and tell me if battlefield 6 is in the drop down list. curious iof we even have the same symptoms

  • I THINK I FIXED IT GUYS! I DOWNLOADED AN UPDATE FOR VISUAL STUDIO C++ AND IT WORKS

    i went to open OBS, i was gonna make a video on my webcam to post to youtube describing the problem. OBS said because of the update i needed to download Visual studio C++, and i thought wow what if thats the solution. low and behold it is! Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables

    exact same story here, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. All I've been able to figure out is that if your PC goes to sleep and doesnt initiate a shutdown is it messing with the secure boot or xmp and the BIOS. Usually i do the verify of the steam files and a full shutdown (not a restart as it will not reset whatever is going on) and it works for a few hours. I can usually tell if it works if the shader files verifying loads quickly or slowly. If quickly then it worked if not then i repeat again. I would love to have an explanation of why this is happening as this is a $90 dollar AAA game and the issue has persisted at least 3 weeks+.

  • I've tried everything from reinstalling the game, reinstalling/fixing the Javelin anti cheat, verifying files, and changing various windows settings. Nothing seems to work, and it's been like this for the past 3 weeks. My best guess is something is wrong (again) with windows 11 25h2 and is causing some kind of conflict with BF6. This is due to the fact that all my other games on steam and the EA app run fine. It worked well in win 11 23h2 but something happened. I've haven't bothered contacting official support cos the service was terrible back when Origin existed and is still terrible.

    when i verify on steam, it says 3 missing files. and when i open the AntiCheat Installer that comes in the game folder, if you click the drop down it doesnt even show battlefield 6 on the list. But if i open the AntiCheat installer that i have in other game folders or download a new one, battlefield 6 is in the drop down. I dont know if these are symptoms or causes of the problem though.

  • I have this same issue as of 4 days ago. Ive spent twenty hours trying to find solution online/ talking to  EA support. im so furious bro. Let me know if you find a solution, ill do the same. 125 bucks wasted
