EA Anticheat ErrorI bought the game a week ago and tried all fixes and none of them are working, and it even did the same error for my FC 24. Everytime i try to load the game up, I get this message as seen in the files connected: ea anticheat service encountered a system error please run the ea anticheat service installer invalid game directory. And when I reinstall it, the same thing pops up. I go into the anticheat installer and everytime i install FC 24/25 this pops up:Starting Install...Starting RegistryWrite...RegistryWrite successStarting DirectoryCreate...DirectoryCreate successStarting DirectoryCreate...DirectoryCreate successStarting DirectoryDelete...DirectoryDelete successStarting DirectoryCreate...DirectoryCreate successStarting FileCopy...FileCopy successStarting ResourceExtract...ResourceExtract failed:1113Install failed:701I've tried everything from uninstalling Riot Vanguard and other anti cheats, disabling my anti virus and etc. But when I go to services in my Taskbar, I dont see the EA Anticheat but I see EA background services. And also I dont see FC25 in any options in my EA AnticheatInstaller. Also when I try to repair the game, it says Invalid Game Directory.Please Help

I had to fully wipe my pc and install it again for it to work now it has broke again they are a bunch of pillocks and will refuse to find an actual fix and just issue a half arsed reply that will not work then continue to ignore you when you say it doesnt work lmao

I've spent hours troubleshooting but nothing helped, even with customer service...This is what I've tried: Verified game files in Steam/EA App.Uninstalled and reinstalled Battlefield 1.Uninstalled and reinstalled EA AntiCheat manually.Deleted EA AntiCheat service via Command Prompt and tried reinstalling.Checked for EA AntiCheat logs, but none were found.Checked Windows Services, but EA AntiCheat was missing.Ran Battlefield 1 in compatibility mode and as administrator.Disabled IPv6 to resolve network conflicts.Performed a clean boot to eliminate third-party interference.Updated Windows to the latest version (fixed end-of-service issue).Checked for Battlefield 1 errors in Windows Event Viewer.Tried forcing EA AntiCheat installation via Command Prompt.It's just frustrating that EA does not manage to resolve this issue. I have countless games and never faced such a frustrating problem.

I've been trying to play the game for a while, even restarted my whole pc, but the anti-cheat does not let me play, every time I try to launch the game i get the error message that an error was encountered with the anti-cheat, tried reinstalling the anti-cheat from the .exe and I get an error code ending in 701, it's been 5 hours of me trying to play this game but I cant.

Got the same problem I've deleted the anti cheat reinstalled it stopped my third party anti cheat and reinstalled the whole game just to still not be able to play and cant find a fix for this anywhere I beg you fix your game

Get a fresh download of the Anti-cheat installer and then uninstall and reinstall from the new download.

https://help.ea.com/in/help/pc/ea-anticheat/

In the EA app, click into the game and then click Manage button and then Repair.

Additional PC steps:

Download and install all available Windows Updates

Run System File Checker to ensure the integrity of your Windows System files: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

Perform a clean boot before starting the game: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 or http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/

Thanks.

This is what I've tried:
Verified game files in Steam/EA App.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Battlefield 1.
Uninstalled and reinstalled EA AntiCheat manually.
Deleted EA AntiCheat service via Command Prompt and tried reinstalling.
Checked for EA AntiCheat logs, but none were found.
Checked Windows Services, but EA AntiCheat was missing.
Ran Battlefield 1 in compatibility mode and as administrator.
Disabled IPv6 to resolve network conflicts.
Performed a clean boot to eliminate third-party interference.
Updated Windows to the latest version (fixed end-of-service issue).
Checked for Battlefield 1 errors in Windows Event Viewer.
Tried forcing EA AntiCheat installation via Command Prompt.
It's just frustrating that EA does not manage to resolve this issue. I have countless games and never faced such a frustrating problem.
