Community ManagerHey jonembury If the installation process stops, try the following steps.
- Make sure that you have all windows updates installed
- Check if the game folder is already created when the installation stops and see if you can launch VC installation from it C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 6\__Installer\vc\vc2022. Resume the installation process afterwards and see if it works.
- Free up disk space on your installation drive.
- Close Background Apps
Turn off overlays, browsers, and antivirus software that may interfere. - Run a clean boot and then start the installation.
- Use Windows Troubleshooting Tools
Try the Program Install/Uninstall troubleshooter or the System File Checker (SFC) tool. - Make Another Windows Profile
Create a new user profile to rule out account-specific issues. Guide here.
Keep us updated on the progress.

* Windows update is clear:
- VC update is installed:
- Install drive has 1.09Tb free
- I've killed all non-default background apps, other than EA service
- Done the DISM / SFC checks
- Troubleshooter found no problems
What I've subsequently also found is the EAAnticheat service is failing to start - returning Error 87: The parameter is incorrect:
Which in the event log shows:
I've uninstalled / re-installed it numerous times with no variation in behaviour
Is it possible this is related? How do I resolve it?
EA_Pulsar so there's hundreds of threads mentioning this same error going back years:
And it looks like generally, the thread gets ignored once this comes up. Is there some policy about not engaging with this problem in play?
