I have the same problem. Before a crash happens, the Windows Event Viewer always shows three information messages in this order, and then the crash occurs:
Info 1 / 17:26: The file system filter “EAAntiCheat” (10.0, 2025-10-07T00:38:58.000000000Z) was successfully loaded and registered with the Filter Manager.
Info 2 / 17:27: The startup type of the “Background Intelligent Transfer Service” was changed from Manual to Automatic.
GameCrash Info 3 / 17:33: The file system filter “EAAntiCheat” (Version 10.0, 2025-10-07T00:38:58.000000000Z) was successfully unloaded.
After the third message, the silent crash always happens.
This time, I also had the following crash message in the Windows Event Viewer:
Service “EAAntiCheatService” was terminated unexpectedly. This has happened 1 time. Event ID 7034.
In about 90% of the cases, it’s always the GameCrash Info 3 that appears right before the crash.

The above service has to do with Windows Update. Is Windows Update working correctly and up-to-date?
Have any Windows Services been manually disabled in an attempt to improve PC performance? If so perhaps that's causing issues.
Good morning Oskool,
Windows is fully up to date; I double-checked everything yesterday: BIOS update, chipset drivers, and Windows Update. I reinstalled BF6, reinstalled EA Anti-Cheat as admin, tried running everything with admin rights, tested the game on low to high settings with and without DLSS and Frame Generation, checked my PC temperatures (all within normal range), set EA Anti-Cheat to "Automatic" in services.msc, configured everything in Exploit Protection, and reinstalled the graphics driver in Safe Mode using DDU. Secure Boot is also enabled. I also disabled all overlays and background programs and ran a memory test. Honestly, I feel like I have tried everything.
Prostore92 good morning!
You've definitely done a lot of troubleshooting. Windows Event Viewer keeps saying, 'The file system filter “EAAntiCheat” was successfully unloaded.'
Here's what google search shows.
The message "The file system filter “EAAntiCheat” was successfully unloaded" indicates a problem, often a crash, with EA's anti-cheat software, say EA Forums users, that happens shortly after the game starts. This can be caused by conflicting software, a corrupted anti-cheat installation, or a system issue, and common solutions include repairing the anti-cheat installation, checking for and disabling conflicting programs, and verifying game files.
A pretty vague explanation. The Windows Event Viewer error message doesn't specify what the conflicting software might be or give an error code number.
