BF1 thinks AutoHotKey is running when it isn't.I have never installed AutoHotKey, nor do I have any .ahk files anywhere. I have tried all of the basic troubleshooting steps, running as administrator, restarting etc. and nothing happens.The only thing I can do is repair the anti-cheat which lets me launch the game once, if I relaunch the game afterwards it just says AHK is running again. Clearly I do not have AutoHotKey running as the game would not launch at all but I don't know what else to try.

Update:Checking the game files integrity, before starting the game, every single time you want to play, seems like to be a temporary working "solution". (The error will return if you close the game and try to start it again without checking the game files).I've contacted EA support, they reported the issue, we can only wait for a fix.Meanwhile:- upvote this post or similar posts in the EA forum that complain about this issue, for making it more relevant.- contact EA support, open a case, and chat with an agent to report this issue.

I experienced the same thing on Steam, despite never having used software like AutoHotKey. Verified files on Steam and the game launched, but as the previous user states upon closing and opening the game the same error message pops up.

Hello Freeeman_97,You should try reinstalling your game and the anti-cheat software. It seems that another program is interfering with the game files. Most likely, the anti-cheat is detecting something it mistakenly recognizes as AutoHotKey.How to install and troubleshoot EA Javelin Anticheat on your PC

BF1 and that last update, whoosh. It's very frustrating. I have jumped through so many hoops I fell like I'm in a circus act.

I've been in back and forth with EA CS this past hours it's frustating but at least they're somewhat acknowledging the issue....somewhat.Also yes repairing the anti-cheat is much quicker than repairing the game entirely. Didn't know that also work earlier, mb

Has anyone found a fix for this yet? I’m still in the same boat and cannot load up any EA game. Can’t even load up after repairing the game files/anticheat anymore.

I am having this exact same issue but with FC25, I can launch the game if I repair the anti cheat and game, but once closed I have to repair again to launch again. I have never installed autohotkey even that never installed anything that isn’t gaming or video editing related. Anyone any closer to finding a fix? I’ve played ea games on this pc for 5 years and never encountered this before.

Yeah I did that already.
I verified the files again and then made them read only to see if that would change anything but it doesn't. Doing it directly though the anti-cheat is a lot quicker than verifying the files through Steam.

Yeah same for me, repairing it only worked once then whenever i closed the game the issue returned as well.

So, I talked to them and they said it could be a program acting like autohotkey. I have a program to dimmer my screen. I closed it and the game launched.
