FC24, EA ANTICHEAT MEMORY/RAM OVER USAGE, FREEZE

been dealing with this issue for over a month.

I've searched the web for solutions and tried everything, but the problem still persists.

The EA Anticheat service is consuming all my RAM almost a minute after I start the game, making it impossible to play.

While I'm in the menu, the game starts to freeze and my computer stops responding, forcing me to restart the computer.

It seems that the Anticheat service is not releasing memory correctly, causing a gradual build-up until the system's resources are fully depleted.

The DxDiag for my system is attached.

My computer has an Intel i9 processor, RTX3070 GPU, 32GB of RAM in dual channel mode, and XMP activated at 3600MHz.

The game is installed on an NVMe M.2 SSD (non-system drive).

I use Kaspersky Antivirus.

GPU, drivers, system, Kaspersky, and the game itself are all updated.

I believe my system specifications are more than sufficient to run this game.

I'm really frustrated with this issue and need to find a solution as soon as possible!

  • I use the Anticheat uninstall and repair tool on this page >> How to install and troubleshoot EA Anticheat on your PC

    I uninstalled all, restarted my PC then installed the anti-cheat for fc24 all using the same tool.

    The game runs smoothly for a while, but after about 5 minutes, it starts to stutter, lag, and the system freezes for a few seconds.

    After that, it becomes responsive again and I can continue playing. However, after another 3 to 4 minutes, the same issues occur again.

    In the task manager, I noticed that after the fix, the anti-cheat buildup consumes all the RAM, but then suddenly releases it. This cycle keeps repeating.

    In conclusion:

    1. the game still unplayable !!

    2. The only improvement is that I don't have to hard restart my system.

    3. The EA Anticheat still causing these issues.

  • Hello, I have a problem with the memory overuse in FC24.
    EA Anticheat memory overuse is happening in FC24 as well and I can't play FC24 for the past few weeks because every time I start up the memory is maxed out, am I correct in understanding that this fix will be fixed at the same time as the thread in the link below?
    Best regards.

    My computer has 32 GB of RAM.
    And after starting the game with Anticheat deleted once before the game, and after setting the RAM occupancy to 100% twice, it finally stabilized. The maximum occupancy was 18GB. What does this mean? If this is the correct behavior, that should be officially announced. Because it seems a bit odd that it keeps using more RAM than the game itself. It makes users uneasy.
    For an hour or so I was able to enjoy myself after a long time and at the end it occupied 6 GB. But I feel it is not a good experience to play while worrying about RAM occupancy. I hope it will be improved.

    FC24 Anticheat Memory bugfix update is 05/28

    Next Week.

    Thank you for recognizing the problem!!

  • i think the bug is fixed now. I've just played for more than an hour. The anti-cheat was maxed at about 500MB, and the gameplay was smooth, with minimal stutters after scoring goals.

  • I checked today and the abnormal increase in RAM immediately after startup did not change the situation.
    I monitored the game in windowed mode for about 30 minutes after startup and Anticheat RAM usage kept increasing 4 times up to 100%. And the increase of memory stopped at 20GB. What is interesting is that after almost 9GB of RAM was released, it increased the memory usage by itself again.
    Perhaps, when it is demanding more and more memory and cannot get any more, the memory increase will stop.
    In this state, you can play without worrying about memory until you exit the game.

    Also, when another process on the computer requests memory, it will probably cause the Windows system to release some of Anticheat allocated RAM.
    That seems to be the behavior to me.

    I expect this behavior to be improved on the 28th!

    I too can confirm that the memory consumption is no longer going up; maybe the update on the 28th has other issues.

    In any case, I am glad that the memory consumption has calmed down. Thank you very much.

    I am currently having the same problem this issue is reoccurring again I've tried reinstalling and its not working. As soon as  you launch the game memory consumption goes up to 75% and keeps going when you get into a match.
