Game won't start after the Season 4 update (Steam)

Hi there, sorry to hear you’re running into crashes.

Please try the steps in our troubleshooting guide first and see if they help.

If the issue continues, please let me know whether Windows Event Viewer shows any related crash logs around the time it happens. You can also upload your full DxDiag report. Thanks.

Thank you for the information. If you have disabled the Windows Exploit Protection feature, please revert it to the default setting. If this does not resolve the issue, I believe you will need assistance from someone with advanced PC knowledge.

I am also having the same issue

did that earlier already, still nothing

I have the same issue but have battlefield from the EA app. Nothing is working. Load game up, starts to load does 'checking for updates' 'loading ea anti cheat' etc then black box shows and it completely closes and brings me back to ea app

Hello. It appears that the process is being forcibly terminated (task-killed). Since everything was working fine before but issues have arisen following an update, here is something to check: Is the "Run as administrator" setting enabled?

1. Right-click the Steam desktop shortcut, select "Properties," go to the "Compatibility" tab, and ensure that the "Run this program as an administrator" checkbox is completely unchecked.

2.Navigate to the app's installation folder, right-click on EADesktop.exe and EALaunchHelper.exe, go to Properties →Compatibility, and verify that the "Run this program as an administrator" checkbox is unchecked for both of them.

3.After matching the permissions, please launch Steam as usual and try starting Battlefield 6 from your library.

This sudden crash is likely caused by a recent EAAC (EA Anti-Cheat) update. The enhanced anti-cheat system strictly blocks the game if there is a mismatch in permissions between Steam and the EA App. Keeping both running with standard user permissions should resolve this deadlock.
