Hello friend!
Many thanks for posting about this important Battlefield 6 issue.
Penguin understand this feels bit scary when PC suddenly Bluescreens while playing Battlefield 6! 😲
That's not cool friend.
From having spent many hours at this forum and troubleshooting different problems in the Battlefield community, the BSOD caused by EAAnticheat.sys often points to 👉 a driver level issue, and fortunately not a problem with your PC hardware.
1:Windbg points directly to EAanticheat
2:Similar cases been reported since the recent big update
3: Moderators asking for crash dumps.
All 3 observations you provided suggest that the issue is related to the recent patch and not your system, especially since Moderators been asking to collect crash dumps. Highly likely a known problem? And if not it gonna need to become so! 😀
If the BSOD happens more often while launching the game it can likely mean that a driver uses a improper or even non accessible memory address due to: TPM Issues, Driver conflicts and sometimes EaAnticheat refusing to accept the security certificates and driver signatures after a patch, leading to 👉 a whole bunch of Windows failures including EAanticheat.sys BSOD
Doing things like keeping drivers & BIOS up to date, disabling XMP, Windows permissions, An Ensure Read write permissions are all checked in folder properties, make sure Anti Virus isn't blocking any related processes, Disconnect any unnecessary USB devices, are things you can do to attempt minimize the frequency of the BSOD, but in this case such steps may only delay the inevitable without a Javelin EaAnticheat patch from the developers.
Penguin wouldn't be afraid of playing the game even if getting this BSOD especially if you have a System restore ready and knowing this is explicitly from Javelin software needing a Stability patch, this is EaAnticheat.sys related and your PC will at least not go boom from this! 😀
Penguin also experiencing EaAnticheat.sys BSOD sometimes over here as well, what helped reduce the frequency of the BSOD was to disable CPU-C states in BIOS and make sure Windows is always set to High Performance mode while gaming, the BSOD is seen maybe once ever 4 days. (Not a solution, but a reduction)
Question: Does the BSOD happen more often while launching the game or mostly just a at complete random times mid-game?
And how often do you believe the BSOD might be kicking in?
Understanding the timing of the BSOD can be valuable information.
Big Fan Of Battlefield 6
Many thanks!

Thanks Penguin for reassurance and your nice words! :). Also thanks for your tips, even if this likely needs an ea anticheat patch (and probably a bf6 patch but one is coming I read!)
Tbh, I want to keep my BIOS version untouched. It is otherwise very stable and I have no reason to upgrade. I have activated EXPO so that my ram runs on the speed it was meant to and a bit PRIME95 torture assured that it should be stable. I should probably disconnect my webcam when playing BF6 though... that's a veeery good point. In addition, I deactivated the steam overlay as I read that Bf6 sometimes comes into conflict with overlays, which I already experienced in the past as well.
Interesting and surprising that it also happens to you :/. It happened only once so far, so I was maybe a bit alarmist, it happened after the game crashed once without error and when I restarted the game. It was able to start but hard crashed / blue screened very shortly after loading into the main menu.
