Steam BattleField 6 wont launch

I have been playing BF6 since release and never had an issue until tonight. Game ran fine until I booted up my computer today. Nothin changed about anything it just stopped working. I can't find that Game_Data_DIR and I also reinstalled fresh copies of both C++ and the Feature Media pack. I also tried it on a new microsoft acc and that didn't work either. 

Is BF6, EA anticheat, and EA app all installed on C: drive?

If not then uninstall everything.

• BF6
• EA anticheat. Make sure to select 'uninstall all'. https://help.ea.com/en/articles/platforms/pc-ea-anticheat/
• EA app

Reboot the computer to finish uninstalling EA anticheat kernel driver.

Then install everything on C: drive. There's a bug and EA anticheat will only look for files on C: drive.

Yeah I only have one drive and its my main C: drive. I have also completely uninstalled both EA and BF6 and made sure to wipe all the equivalent EA files since I don't have any EA games, everything is through Steam. Battlefield 6 is the only EA game I have currently. 

So I found some interesting things. I noticed that whenever I click the play button on Steam is says "Running EAAntiCheatService.Installer.exe" and went into the BF6 location files. I found that exact .exe file and checked the entire BF6 download folder and could not find any executable for the actual EAAC, its only the installer. I then found that there is supposed to be several other files in there to actually run the EAAC. So I did some testing and check with Command Prompt. I queried it, ran it then queried it again and found that when the service runs it immediately quits again because its missing the other executables. When I was finally able to add in the other files and open BF6 it still kept closing after opening the initial screen. So I have a very high suspicion that EAAC is not downloading, installing and running correctly at all. I have tried all the solutions posted here and even added in the correctly installed AC files from another game to see if that worked and it did not. When I run the installer normally BF6 isn't even an option to install or repair. 

I figured it out, I just downloaded the 2042 AntiCheat with the Javelin setup and it worked first try. Look at the image in my previous post!

For me it wat Outline VPN service, that made the game not launch. Make sure, that you have no VPN services launched in the Windows Services menu.
