New EA Anti-cheat on BFV makes the game windowed with sound but black screen

If I uninstall EA Anti-cheat it works just fine, but if i install to play online it makes the game with a black screen windowed with sound, and if I press Alt + Enter to make it full screen nothing happens.

I have my system and drivers updated.

Please fix this EA. I've seen many people with problems with the new EA AntiCheat.

    Yo, don’t worry you are not alone with this problem. I have tried desperately for a fix but nothing has worked. The good side is I spoke to an EA agent and they said the game should be fixed pretty soon and they are aware of this issue so don’t worry and you can just play other games while waiting for a fix.

    Hello, i have find solution on another page of this forum, i past a solution! i hope they modify anticheat files in futur but that work.

    I think is your virusprotection who think is virus like keygen etc! 

    "Hey!, Im happy to announce to you guys that i have found a fix!!

    The issue for me was within my antivirus (Bitdefender)

    I will show you a step by step guide if you are using Bitdefender, plus you do not need to delete any EA anticheat files!

    Step 1: Open Bitdefender and head to the protection tab.

    Step 2: Open the Antivirus section, and under advanced, shut off bitdefender shield. (This means you're basically turning off your antivirus.)

    Step 3: Again under the protection tab, open advanced threat defense and under settings, turn off advanced threat defense.

    Step 4: Enjoy a Battlefield 5 without cheaters!

    Btw: If you are using another antivirus, try turning off an option that says the antivirus is continuosly monitoring device activity in the background.

    You're welcome, and good luck!

    Edit: If you have an antivirus, the issue is caused by the anticheat being Kernel level and the AV detecting it as a threat."

    Doesn't work for me. Btw i added Battlefield V folder as a exception, and did not work. It can be the antivirus but i'm not disabling my antivirus to play a game. EA AC Client has a digital license for the antivirus don't detect the AC as a virus. I'm waiting for another solve

    This is likely an issue with your system configuration and it should not be happening.

    See if anything changes if you disable fullscreen optimizations for bfv.exe and switch between DirectX versions.

    Also make sure to disable the EA app overlay.

    I'm sure the issue is something with the EA AC because if i unnistall the anticheat it works just fine.

    I'm having the same problem with Battlefield V, as well as with PVZ GW2 and Battle for Neighborville.
