Hello friend!
Penguin here to help, but to get this started and investigated would like to ask:
When did you start getting this error, did it start happening before or after March 3rd Battlefield 6 update?
Could you also provide a screenshot of the Windows 11 event viewer log of any potential Errors or System Warnings from around the time of game launch error? (Windows + X key, select Event viewer, Administrative Events) Should look something like this:
Sharing this can help Penguin and Others try identify what's actually going on, valuable information.
Many thanks!

If it didn't work Penguin would also at this point:
2: Repair EA AntiCheat: Go to Battlefield 6 folder inside EAAntiCheat folder you find the EAAntiCheat.Installer, by launching that .exe it will provide you the repair function for EaAntiCheat.
3: For Windows image health, Open up CMD Make sure to run it as administrator and perform these 2 commands separately in CMD:
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
sfc/scannow
This will look for and repair file system corruptions it detects from the Windows System Image.
4: If this doesn't work, eliminate any potential file corruptions for the game, which can sometimes happen to any game after updates, patches and similar, simply re-install the whole game if none of the fixes solves it = eliminates any potential file corruptions causing this error. (Often easier and quicker than attempting any deeper solutions at the moment.)
Sure inform us how this went friend.
Many thanks!
