BF6 Not Launching Failing Silently on Javelin Anti-Cheat

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue launching Battlefield 6 through Steam and I haven’t been able to fix it despite trying basically every recommended troubleshooting step.

What happens:

I click Play in Steam

Steam shows “Launching”

The Battlefield 6 splash screen appears

It says “Launching Javelin Anti-Cheat”

Then the game closes silently and never launches

There are no error messages, crashes, or popups.

Things I’ve already tried:

- Full reinstall of the game

Verified game files in Steam

Restarted PC multiple times

Run Steam and EA App as Administrator

Launched EA App manually before starting the game

Disabled overlays/background apps

Updated GPU drivers

Updated chipset drivers and Windows

Installed latest Visual C++ redistributables

Checked Windows Defender/Firewall

Closed monitoring software and RGB software

Reinstalled and repaired Javelin Anti-Cheat manually

Latest drivers installed for everything

Additional info from Event Viewer:

I checked Windows Event Viewer after another failed launch and found Javelin Anti-Cheat related errors.

One error says:
“Failed Retrieving service path”

Another immediately after shows:
“Exit Type 95”

This happens right when the game stops launching after the “Launching Javelin Anti-Cheat” splash screen.

PC Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X

GPU: RTX 3090

RAM: 32GB Corsair Dominator

Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X570-E

At this point it seems like Javelin Anti-Cheat is failing silently before the game launches, possibly due to a broken or failed anti-cheat service installation.

Has anyone found a fix for this or seen the same issue?
