Re: Javelin Anticheat error (7) (2)

I think I've tried just about everything I can to get this game to work but I keep getting the exact same error. I purchased the game through steam and it was working completely fine for the first few days. Then after a crash in the middle of the game every time I go to launch it gets stuck on the splash screen with the same error message. I've put over 12 hrs. into trying to figure this out, but I'm not much of an it guy and nothing seems to be working. If anyone has any other ideas I would appreciate the help.

Things I've tried (in no particular order): Secure boot is on and active, nvidia smooth movement is off, updated graphics card drivers, I'm on a laptop so I set up the windows graphics to make sure its using the dedicated graphics card, I've uninstalled the anticheat/repaired/reinstalled, Tried renaming the documents storage, validated the game files through steam, unistalled the game and reinstalled.

Navigated to: C:\Program Files\EA\AC\EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe
Right clicked, ran as administrator.
Selected "Uninstall All"
Closed the Program
Restarted the PC
The directory C:\Program Files\EA\AC automatically deleted itself after the restart.
I downloaded EA AntiCheat https://cdn.eaanticheat.ac.ea.com/EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe
I right clicked the .exe, ran as administrator. Installed the BF6 Files.
I uninstalled the "EA App"
I downloaded the EA App https://www.ea.com/ea-app
Installed the EA app in administrator mode. Logged in. Double Clicked BF6, "This app needs permissions" popped up, clicked OK.
The Splash Screen stayed up for a very long time. It prompted me to login a second time, but this was new!
THE GAME LAUNCHED.
I closed the game, made sure it launched with Steam, IT DID. Problem SOLVED. Other than the fact it takes like 5 minutes to load the main menu.

The lesson here: Listen very carefully to each step in Solution Eight. Skipping anything in there will result in a failure, restarting is essential, admin mode essential, etc.
