Hello, everyone. Here are a couple of other reasons this error can happen.
- You have hit the 5 install limit
- BF6 is trying to be booted from the EA App. You should use the Steam app instead when playing the game through Steam
Are any of you getting this error installing the game more than 5 times or are trying to launch it through the EA App instead of Steam?
EA_Aljo once purchased through Steam the game can only be launched through Steam , the game doesn’t even show up as purchased on the EA desktop app, but a lot of trouble shooting methods suggest clearing the cache from the app to help (it doesn’t) otherwise the EA app would never be used . Also , no for the installation more than 5x error , I’ve never seen that .

Thanks for letting me know.
Have you tried installing REDSEC on the same Steam account you're trying to play the full game on? That may help if there's an account linking issue.- BlvckguyYT4 months agoSeasoned Traveler
I’ll give downloading Redsec a shot later today , I tried that on my ps5 but it was giving the same error I’d get on Steam , further indicating account specific issue . After that failed I unliked everything from my ea account besides Steam which still didn’t help

It's very possible this has to do with unlinking/linking your account. Did you move your Steam ID it to a different EA account?
