EAAntiCheat service pegging memory until it crashes the PC
Starting yesterday I noticed my EAFC was freezing during matches, and I would simply crash at some point.
Upon researching the EAAnticheat which is usually not a heavy process ramps up to 9-25% CPU usage upon running the game, and it uses all of the memory available (in my case I have 32GB).
This has never happened before, I did not update my windows, epic or EA app yesterday, My norton av does not have any game related configurations and has been with me for years.
I have uninistalled the Anticheat, reinstalled fresh, deleted the registry entires, resinstalled fresh, dowloaded from the Anticheat page, reinstalled ir fresh, removed the EA app, FC 24, and Epic Games and reinstalled all fresh, made sure that my secure boot configs are correct, and repaired my windowns.
After hours doing that the behavior is the same.
Since then AC updates silently (I cannot see it), I assume you just had an update that is causing this.
Attached is a screenshot with AC still runing even though the game is already closed.
