Re: Javelin Anticheat crashes my game

Hi there bought the game a few months ago when it was on sale and finally installed it three days ago. Unfortunately, I managed to open the game only twice now. Basically what happened those two times is my connection timed out right after the anticheat finished loading, my game launched offline obviously but then I was able to connect to the servers and play normally. Problem being that after the second time, EA Origin (yes origin not EA App) is now asking me to validate my ownership of the game by registering my EA credentials in origin for some reason and when I do, it crashes instantly and prompts the following error in windows event viewer "The game bf1.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0x186A1".

I haven't been able to launch the game ever since, offline or online, the game seems perfectly fine it's only a problem with ea authentication that thinks my files are non genuine or something.

Here are my pc specs

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU

13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700HX 2.10 GHz CPU

32 GB RAM

Microsoft Windows 11 23H2, Version 10.0.22631

Graphics driver Game ready 595.71 march 2, 2026

Here is a rundown of everything I tried so far

Uninstall and fresh reinstall of the game, steam, ea app, ea anticheat

Also tried compatibility mode for all of these

Disabled Memory Core integrity and file control access

Hard disabled Hyper-V via registry

Turned off overlays for Nvidia, Discord, Steam and Ea App

Checked if drivers or windows itself were out of date

That's all I can remember but I actually did way more than that I actually have 3h of game time while having actually only played the game for 30 minutes total so 2 and a half from only launching, crashing and testing...

Please help I just want to play a product I payed for. I would refund if I could but I'm way past that point now. I now that Ea can do something if they see this post, it shouldn't be that hard. Does anybody else even have this problem?
