Battlefield V closes after EA AntiCheat screen (worked yesterday, no changes)

I’m a long-time Battlefield V player (1,300+ hours) and until yesterday everything worked perfectly. Today, however, the game fails to launch— it always closes right after the EA AntiCheat screen, without any in-game error message. I did not install any new software or change any settings since the last successful launch.

Steps I’ve tried so far:

  • Repair/Verify game files in EA App (Library → … → Repair)
  • Clear EA App cache (≡ menu → Help → App Recovery)
  • Reinstalled EA App and Battlefield V completely
  • Repaired EAAntiCheat via EAAntiCheat.Installer.Tool.exe
  • Deleted the Battlefield V folder in Documents and the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\EA Games\Battlefield V
  • Disabled DirectX 12 (set Dx12Enabled=0 in PROSAVE_profile)
  • Updated GPU drivers and set high-performance GPU
  • Ran System File Checker (sfc /scannow) and applied Windows updates
  • Clean-booted Windows and closed all non-essential apps
  • Checked for interfering applications (antivirus, VPN—currently off)

Despite all of the above, the game still shuts down immediately after the AntiCheat splash.

Event Viewer errors (Windows Logs → Application, Level 2): attached

My system specs:

  • OS: Windows 11 Pro 23H2
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500G
  • GPU: AMD Radeon 6600 XT (driver 25.3.1)
  • RAM: 32 GB DDR4
  • Storage: BF V on NVMe SSD (50 GB free)
  • EA App version: 13.453.0.5966

I really love this game and would appreciate any help or diagnostics tips. Please let me know if you need additional logs or anything else.

Thank you in advance! 🙏

    I have no idea what happened, but today I tried again and loaded the game and it works! I don't think it was me that fixed it. When I launched the EA app it asked me to install the update, I did. I then selected English when installing the game and moved the game app while it was on the Javelin splash screen to a different monitor (from an ultra-wide monitor to a normal monitor) using the Win+Shift+Arrow combination, and while it seemed stuck as it was, right before it crashed, I tried pressing Alt+Enter.
    Again I don't think I'm the one who fixed the problem, I hope it helps

    It is happenning the same with a lot of games, like BF1, BFV or EAFC25; it is because of the new Javelin Anti Cheat :(

    That is concerning HiFriend​, the issue always gets fixed after the mentioned steps. Have you tried your luck with EA support?

    Hello danisoff​,
    I just uninstalled EA anticheat with EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe at C:\Program Files\EA\AC. After I reinstalled BF V, nothing has changed 😢

    I haven't found a solution yet. I think the only thing left is to tear everything down and reinstall Windows. Have you tried that?
