EA Javelin Anti-Cheat Returns Error 95 after Javelin May 21 Update
Unlike some other posts on this forum, this issue has not been happening since a specific Battlefield 6 season, rather possibly an update to the Javelin anti-cheat that was on May 21 (link goes to SteamDB depot change for Javelin on May 21) Currently when trying to boot up Battlefield 6, one of two things will happen:
- Sometimes the game will crash after booted up for like a minute
- Most of the time will show the anti-cheat error before going into full-screen.
Here's what I've tried already:
- Clearing the "settings" folder under "%userprofile%/Documents/Battlefield 6" (user settings obviously)
- Repairing the game via Steam (Right click game > "Properties" > "Installed Files" > "Verify integrity (...)")
- Reinstalling the game via Steam
- Reinstalling Javelin--twice
- Checking BIOS for both Secure Boot & TPM (which would show a different error but is common)
- Disabling all non-Microsoft services EXCEPT FOR anything under Valve/Steam & EA/Javelin and also disabling any startup applications via Task Manager
- The reason for the two exceptions for the services are of course for launching the game fully.
All of this and no changes.
I also have video evidence with me going through my system if that's of interest, but honestly shouldn't be needed.
Possible Issue-Makers:
- AMD Chipset Update (8.05.04.516)
- I updated my AMD CPU drivers on the 20th--might be the biggest one to look into.
- Xbox Gaming Services (36.113.2002)
- Most likely not but is to note as a recent update was pushed out in the early access era of Forza Horizon 6 which was around May 13, but I personally installed on May 19.
- Microsoft GameInput
- Probably not the issue, but was installed on May 19.
- EA Javelin Anti-Cheat (May 21 Update (Manifest ID 7504058622051201888))
- Could be the just a bug with **bleep** thing--who knows!
