EA Anti Cheat Service encountered an error. Please restart the game.: C. Program

@papacooty 

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.

i ran it as administrater 
i reinstalled ea anti cheat
i re installed the game
i re installed ds4 windows
it still doesnt work 
it says that i cannot run both the software at the same time...

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)
