BF6 not launching
My issue has been swept up in a variety of driver based issues, so I'm having another go.
Since June 7th (after a small ~280MB patch to BF6) I have been unable to launch the game through Steam. The anticheat splash window pops up, does it's normal things, then disappears and the Steam "play" button goes back to play.
Checking the Windows Application event logs I have the attached error (it's always been this error).
If I install REDSEC in the EA app the game launches, so this specifically is an issue with the Steam version of the game.
I have performed the following:
- Up/downgraded my AMD GPU drivers
- Upgraded my BIOS firmware
- Uninstalled Anticheat (completely, as admin, etc)
- Uninstalled Steam BF6 + reinstalled (as admin, etc)
- Enabled/Disabled various Exploit Protection settings specifically for BF6.exe & EAAntiCheat.GameService.exe
- I've been though so many support options with EA Support (Case# 248731113)
I'm running Windows 10, MS recently extended ESU (Extended Support) through to the end of October 2027, so the OS is still supported (I enrolled in it). However given REDSEC runs through the EA app, I don't believe my OS is the cause of the problem anyway, but obviously I have no way to prove this.
Thanks for any help.
