Battlefield V Anti-Cheat update failure for China region blocking launch

Hello, I am reporting a critical issue specifically affecting players in China trying to play Battlefield V on PC (via Steam/EA App).

Core Problem

Upon launching the game, EA Anti-Cheat (EAAC) prompts for an update. However, even if the update appears to complete successfully, the anti-cheat files automatically roll back to an older version (from July 11, 2025) upon the next launch. This causes a persistent update loop, making it impossible to start the game normally.

Key Details & Impact

This issue is confirmed to primarily affect the China region, suggesting a problem with the regional update servers or configuration.

This problem has been ongoing for several months, severely impacting the gaming experience for a significant number of legitimate players.

The only known, unreliable workaround involves disconnecting from the internet during the EAAC loading phase to bypass the update check, which is not a sustainable solution. Other players have found that using a network accelerator set for Battlefield 1 can sometimes trigger a proper EAAC update, indirectly allowing Battlefield V to run, which further points to a service-side issue specific to Battlefield V's update pathway in China.

Request for Action

We kindly request the EA team to urgently investigate and fix the EAAC auto-update mechanism for the China region to ensure players can receive and maintain the latest version correctly.

Thank you for your attention to this serious issue.
