Battlefield 1 and V bug freezes my PC - hard reset needed - faulty anti cheat

I am experiencing this issue on BF1. As far as I've seen across the forums, the same anti cheat system was installed on BF V as well, and plenty of similar posts across the forums for both of the games. It has to do with the new anti-cheat system. I've played for 200 hours (stopped a few months ago, before the new anti-cheat update) and when I started playing again yesterday I can get in a game, and within a few minutes to a few dozen minutes the game will literally freeze (audio continues to work for a while), i can move my mouse around on the frozen bf1 game but I am unable to do any command (alt+tab, ctrl+alt+delete, windows+tab, ctrl+shift+b, alt+f4 etc), literally nothing. After a little while my mouse stops working too , audio cuts off and my PC is left in a frozen state, on the last frame of the battlefield game right before the freeze.

This has to do with the crap anti cheat system that works at a kernel level. Perhaps it has to do with certain CPU architectures and it not being optimized for all. My system specs are:

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X

AMD 7900 XTX

G.Skill 64 GB RAM 6000Mhz

BF1 is the only game that does this. I've also noticed I am having stutters in the game, especially the minutes before having a crash. I tried every type of fix like setting my power plan to balanced (popular fix online - doing this allowed my to have my longest session of like 20-30 minutes i think, but still crashed my PC), updating the anti cheat system from its tool .exe, removing the anti cheat files and verifying integrity on steam, trying to run on compatibility mode, etc) and no luck. It's clearly the problem is from the new update and since the new update introduced a new anti cheat system and the crash seems to be a kernel-level type of crash since it requires a hard reset of the whole PC, I think we have the answer -> faulty anti cheat system, possibly on the ryzen architecture CPUs, mine being AM5.

EA, I am tired of trying fixes and I will stop trying fixes since I have hard rebooted my PC at least 5 times trying to fix your faulty update. Get this sorted ASAP.

    I also have the same problem on BFV, haven't tried on BF1. BF2042 works fine.

    AMD Ryzen 5 7600, Nvidia GeForce 4060ti Asus TUF, Kingston Fury Beast 32gb RAM 6000mHz.

    When I open the game everything freezes and I have to force boot my computer. No blue screen of death.
    I tried opening from Steam and EA App. I tried to repair game files and to re-install it... Nothing worked so far.

  • I have the same problem.
    My BF1 and BFV crash every time I try to start them, because of this buggy EA javelin anti-cheat system.
    I have played them more than 500 hours in total, and after the EA javelin anti-cheat update at the end of April, I can't play anymore.

    My pc crashes and i get the Blue screen of death of Windows.
    Please EA fix your software before deploying it.
    This faulty update affected a lot of your costumers in a negative way.
