The anti-cheat crashes my PC

When I play BFV or BF1, but somehow doesn't seem like an issue with BF2042. It only started happening since yesterday and wasn't an issue before.

my PC crashes almost everytime I close the game, regardless of how I close it; closing it with the quit button/alt+f4/the taskbar. It turns my screen black and reboots my PC.

I am 100% sure this is an issue with the anticheat as I was crashing before when simply installing the anticheat or launching the game, which I fixed it by using "open as admin", launch it once and it was fixed.

I've read from another post that this issue could be caused by memory integrity being on/off, which I tried both ways, and it didn't fix it.

I've also read that some drivers could be conflicting with the anticheat, some Asus drivers specifically but I don't have an Asus, I have an Alienware PC (which also has its own drivers). I wouldn't be surprised if this is the main issue. Either way, my PC shouldn't fully crash from an anti-cheat program scanning my files -- Do better, EA.

P.S: this is on a fresh Windows 11 install with only EA Desktop installed and Battlefield V.

    Alienware has its own custom power plan with less options than a regular PC, and it's already on "balanced" by default. The issue right now isn't that the game can't boot up, but everytime I close it my PC restarts.

    Unsure if "power plan" would be the cause but it's definitely worth mentioning

    I bought bfv too and same thing happening crashing mid game seems anti cheat is the problem when i deleted the files the game stopped crashing but then crashed again

  • Put the windows power plan in balanced and bf1 and v starts normally! There is a problem with ea anticheat and power plan of windows 

  • Hey, I bought Battlefield V yesterday (better late than never), installed it and each time I start it, it just crashes and reboot my pc. I have tried reinstalling, running as admin.. it is 100% linked to bfV I have no problem with any other game.  I have played bf1 a lot the past years with no problem, I will try again today.
    specs :

    -MSI MAG B650 tomahawk

    -ryzen7 7800x3d 

    -32go DDR5

    -700w power supply

     

  • There is a problem with amd? I'm with ryzen 9 7900x and crash at start up or closing the game, it's annoying, can't play battlefield 1 and v, fix that stupid anticheat please 

  • Having the same problem man. I do have an Asus motherboard, though.
