Steam File Verify Problem

So I have BF6 on Steam, my main problem is that I have to reverify the files almost after every launch of the game. If I do not do this, I notice that in-game, I have a bad stutter when doing anything in game.

Menu lags, ADS lag, sprinting, the sutter is very noticeable in later matches. I noticed that if I verify the files in steam my problem goes away for a while, but then returns. I have steam and the battlefield 6 folder set as safe in my AV settings. 

I have Steam and Battlefield installed on my C drive, NVME SSD.

I have an alright GPU AMD 6700 XT 12Gb, 32Gb RAM, Intel I5 13600KF, 2000Mbps Fiber

Apart from having to reverify the files after every other launch of the game I am unsure what I can do.

Is anyone else having problems like this?

    EA Support told me last night that it was an issue with my microsoft admin account. They told me to uninstall the game, make a new microsoft admin account, then reinstall the game. So I did this only to arrive at the same problem of having to re verify the bf6 game files. I went a step further and uninstalled and reinstalled my steam after I made the new microsoft account profile, then reinstalled bf6. 

    The problem still persists. 

    Also, this was originally posted 2 months ago, I have restarted my computer in that time frame.

  • MidniteSyn​ does opening Windows Start Menu and click Restart Computer fix it?

    Sometimes computers go into standby or hibernate mode instead of completely shutting down.

  • Just wanted to provide another update.

    I am still having this issue with the problem that I have to re verify the files almost after every launch of the game.

    So far I have no remedy.

  • Just checking in and providing an update.

    So far nothing I have done has fixed this issue. Clean reinstall and deleting files did not fix the issue. 

    I still have to reverify files every time or I get ingame stutters and lag.

    Sharing in the hopes that it helps. Clean install seems to have fixed the issue for me. I uninstalled through Steam and deleted all BF6 files in the drive where I had the game installed (W: drive). I also checked the steamapps folder in my other drive (C: drive) and I saw that there were 3 files that did not delete. [Whenever I reverified game files using steam in the past, it always got hung up on 3 files so I assume it was these. ] Those 3 files were related to the anticheat. I deleted those and then proceeded to perform a fresh install from Steam; this time on the C: drive (my native steam drive). No issues after a couple of days.

    Same issue, I did not have this issue prior to the season 1 update. GPU AMD 7900XT, CPU Ryzen 9 7900k, RAM 64GB, 1000Mbps Fiber. Is this being investigated?
