Issues launching Battlefield

I've been a big fan of the franchise for years. When ever I talk to anyone about FPS games I mention Battlefield having the best gameplay and general experience out of any FPS. I've sung this games praise for nearly a decade now. It's sad but at this point I will no longer be buying any Battlefield games until EA decides to fix Battleye. It is way too restrictive and makes trying to even play the game an exercise in frustration.

So the other day I got the itch to play an FPS and like I always do, I went to install Battlefield. Waited for the long download and then tried to run it. Secure boot is not on. Okay, that's fine. I go into BIOS, turn it on and try again. This is the point where I lost all interest in the franchise. Apparently I had some file somewhere that was triggering Battleye to give this message "This software cannot be used at the same time as the game. Please make sure it's not running, or restart your PC.: ReWASD." I don't have ReWASD Installed. So I do a bit of digging, delete all files that could be potentially triggering this, I go into processes and turn off any that could trigger this, I even go into the registry and delete any registers associated with anything made by the company. 

EA, I'm done with your games and I'm telling anyone that will listen about my experience so they stay far away from your products. This is absolutely ridiculous.

    As I said, I have nothing installed that's made  by the company. Already checked files for all the apps they make.

    I don't cheat. I think cheating is stupid. Why play a game only to break the rules? It defeats the purpose of a game.

  • Or maybe !! ,    The anti cheat pick up your cheat software, which is exactly what it is supposed to do.

  • Hi BastVl​,

    Sorry to hear about the difficulties you've experienced. This may not help, but it's likely that other software or residual files from Disc Soft Limited, such as Daemon Tools or so on, is being picked up by the anti-cheat, EA Javelin. If you check their website, you should see a list of what they provide that you could use to double check for on your PC, so you can remove them. That's only if you wanted to, of course.
