Anti cheat service not working and battlefield 1 won't open
After launching Battlefield 1, the game's loading screen appears, fills up completely, and then crashes, returning me to the EA App. When I checked the Windows Services section, I noticed that the EA Anti-Cheat service was not running. When I tried to start it manually, I received error code 87 (parameter error).
I have tried many solutions, including different Windows versions, compatibility settings, reinstalling the game multiple times, verifying game file integrity, and reinstalling the anti-cheat, but none of them worked. When I attempted to start the anti-cheat service manually, the event logs generated the following output:
