PSA if on PC and having error 1:85009S or Similar

I have been pulling me hair out trying to figure out what has gone wrong. I have over 200 hours and not had a single issue with the game UNTIL the recent Anticheat update - Then I couldn't stay in a game longer than 1-5 mins.

I've done numerous DNS changes (including Cloudflare WARP)

I've tried changing windows settings

Changed all my in game settings

Cleared EA cache

Reinstalled GPU driver

Reinstalled BF6

Reinstalled EA Anticheat

NOTHING WORKS UNTIL!!!

I change my Steam name to match my EA ID name and like magic, it fixed everything and I can play.


TL;DR Change your steam name to match your EA ID
