EA AntiCheat Service encountered and error. ( 7 ) ( 3 )

I cant launch ea fc 24. Completely wiped ALL files. Reinstalled the game twice. reinstalled, repaired, updated ea anticheat who knows how many times. But I just CANNOT launch my game. if it helps at all, the end code says ( 7 ) ( 3) and occasionally it says (20, 21, 22, 23, or 24) ( 3). checked all the files like 50 times. tried to repair files in steam. EA App doesn't launch correctly either anymore. I try to launch it and it either crashes or is blank. Tried returning the game but they wouldn't let me because I've played the game a couple of times BEFORE I had encountered this problem.

    @SawyerChocolate 

    EA anticheat Service has encountered an error. Please restart the game. <Path of Service> <Error #>

    This happens when EA anticheat can't find the installation folder or can’t start the game. There are two ways to fix this.

    • Relaunch the EA app (even if you got the game on Steam or the Epic Games Store) as an admin by right-clicking on it and choosing Run As Administrator. Then, relaunch the game from the EA app directly.
    • Reinstall EA anticheat.

    Thanks.

  • @EA_Barry I've tried that many many times. It doesn't work for me. Also whenever I launch FC 24 from the ea app. It never actually launches. It says "Launching game" for about 3 seconds then "Preparing game" for half a second before disappearing and doing nothing. Do you have any clue what the ( 22 ) ( 3 ) and ( 7 ) ( 3 ) mean? I get ( 22 ) ( 3 ) whenever I reinstall something like ea, fc 24, ea anticheat and steam. I get ( 7 ) ( 3 ) whenever I launch the game normally after I get a ( 22 ) ( 3 ) code. Thanks!
  • This has ruined the game. Mainly because I can’t play it!!!!! 

    what’s the solution because the one suggested here does not work. 

  • I am sick and tired of people bad mouthing EA Anti-Cheat Program. It is without doubt the most effective Anti-Cheat Program on earth. If you can't launch game, you can cheat, mission accomplished. So, effective they have used this method for years, that's right years, What's next for EA Anti-Cheat Program? You will not even be able to download the game, and you will spend hours, upon hours, before you figure it's not happening.

  • @EA_Barry a mi no me funciona nada, no se porque hacen esto, pago un dineral por el juego para que no me funcione, porque ?
  • tenta ir em propriedades dentro do app EA, vá em abrir pasta e delete todos os anticheat, menos oque esta na pasta installer, funcionou para min.

    Installed updates on my windows and the game was repaired. But when i go to sleep there was one more update to install. I click install and go to bed. 
    In the morning i open game and game again broken. Now im going to install windows 11 and see what will happen.

  • i found the solution, its one of the apps that u have on your pc/laptop causing this problem so try to close all the active apps that are running in the background then run the game that u want to play in EA app. for example for me it was legion fan control and one other app and the problem was this EA anti cheat app thinks that i have cheat on my system but doesnt actully know what is it so it decides to not let u play the game at all, and also try to block any allowed threats that u have in ur anti virus or ur windows sicurity because they might cause a problem too, the apps that are mostly suspious are the one that are open in ur icons of bottom right of ur taskbar (vanguard,razer central,nvidia,steam,epic games are safe so u dont need to worry about them, maybe vanguard not sometimes lol)
