EA Anti Cheat / game crash

For a few weeks now I have had trouble joining or being kicked from BF5.

Firstly started with joining game from my Nvidia app, then Steam had issues so I could only join BF5 from EA app.

Then after a while I started getting kicked from game. I would join a server on multiplayer and within a minute or so it would crash and take me straight back to Desktop.

I tried EA app recovery, integrity of files on Steam and multiple reinstalls - nothing worked. 

I have also searched and tried umpteen fixes from these Forums and YouTube videos and finally put in a ticket at Nvidia because I thought the problem originated there in beginning.

After many to and fro and dxdiag files etc One fixed they said to try was with Easy Anti-cheat. So I deleted it and reinstalled manually ( as recommeded by EA ) and for 1 day everything worked normal. Lauched game from Nvidia app and played fine.

But as soon as I shut down my PC and boot up to play the next day, same old problem.

I checked Windows secure boot and it is enabled and have just done a Windows Fix. Again problem still here.

Has anyone had the same issues ? Or know of a fix ?

I really don't understand EA Anti cheat. I read about multiple players having issues across all sorts of games yet every game I play on BF6, BF5, HLL etc I still come across cheaters and hackers. So whats the point in the program ?

Cheers

  • So seems I managed to fix it. Turns out to have been the EA App that was causing the issues or a combination of that and Anti-cheat together.

    So renistalled anti cheat and likewise deleted the EA app too which reinstalled after launching BF5. 3 days now and everything seems stable.

    Thanks for help and hopefully if anyone else has my issues they can try my fixes

    Thanks. Yeah I already did that, think mentioned in my 1st post.

    It did help at first but not after my PC was restarted.

    I may have found the problem because my EA app was acting up so I deleted it. It was then reinstalled when I open BF5 to play.

    I closed my PC then rebooted later in evening to play and everything was still working. I will try again this evening and post my results here.

    Hey Angus,

    Trust me when I say, that all Battlefields 1-5 are a deteriorating experience. There is no, and will not be tech support on a grand scale ever again. Almost every night now I have some sort of tech problem. I don’t get through one game of multi without some kind of glitch. Weird glitches too. Tank treads missing or sometimes dripping. Sliding of vehicles. Things stuck in mid air. Tunnel vision coupled with slowed down turret turning. When that happens, I figured out that jumping out of the tank then back in corrects the problem. Running on place is another big one. A week ago I was booted out, black screen and all, 3 times in less than 5 minutes.

    These are just some of the things goin on in this game. Strangely enough, I keep comin back almost every day because I’ve been in B1 and B5 since their beginnings. When game play is on, it’s on. The visuals. The audio. The artwork is absolutely outstanding. And the battles can get pretty knarly at times. I mean like brutal. It’s well worth my time, given the frustrations inherent now. 
    Anyway, try to enjoy it while it’s still here. Don’t forget, Campaigns are kickass as well.

    carry on

    You could try talking with EA support, they might be able to provide you with more relevant information.

    If this is any help, I bought the disc originally in 2018. It lasted until 2 months ago so I bought another disc and uploaded it. I still have the problems I’ve always had for the past 4-5 years. Maybe even worse now. Hard to tell anymore because I get good gameplay 85% of the time. So the frustrations (screaming at, and wanting to lunch my whole PS into the street) are worth it to me. Don’t ask why. I just dig this game, when it’s on its game. 

    My suggestion would be to buy the disc, and a PS4 or PS5, rid of anti cheat, and all bells and whistles that they say make it a better playing experience. Because nothing can make any game better except the techs and high up decision makers. Keep in mind that those people are just trying to keep 2042 afloat. All other old school games are ancient stepping stones. And therein lies a, “lower level ignorance” of what could have always been supported (B1 and B5) to this day with great intuitive, imaginative, and mind blowing accuracy, of what was EA DICE genius.

    Go old school dude. PCs suck.
