EA AntiCheat (Javelin) Still Broken

Question

I’ve been dealing with this EA Javelin AntiCheat error for an entire week now, and I’m honestly done with how EA is handling it.

Every time I try to launch a game I get this message:

“EA Javelin Anticheat encountered an error. Please restart your PC: C:\Program Files\EA\AC\EAAntiCheat.GameService.exe (7)(1)”

I’ve tried literally every fix available online — reinstalling EA AntiCheat, verifying files, running as admin, resetting permissions, even PowerShell scripts to repair the service — and nothing works.

The fact that a paid an EA PLAY PRO subscription, to play premium title like F1 25 ,FC 26, Battlefield 6 can’t even start because of a broken anti-cheat system is ridiculous. What’s worse, EA has not released a single official fix or response that actually works for everyone, despite so many players facing the same issue.

I’ve spent hours troubleshooting something that shouldn’t even be the player’s responsibility. If EA’s own security software prevents people from launching the game, then it’s EA’s job to fix it — not the community’s.

I’m posting this here because this problem clearly isn’t isolated. There are many players affected, and EA support is providing the same generic “restart your PC or reinstall the Anticheat” answer over and over again.

We deserve transparency, proper communication, and an actual patch — not silence.

Has anyone here managed to make this thing work permanently? I’d really appreciate hearing from others dealing with the same nightmare.

Javelin is clearly made to be tamper proof and "aye, there's the rub."&nbsp; Don't waste your time with the online solutions and if Google AI had a face, I'd punch it.&nbsp; Those of us that shelled out a considerable amount of "credits" for this game would like an answer.&nbsp; Rebooting my PC to play one game is ridiculous.&nbsp; Certainly, it will reflect on future EA Sports purchases.&nbsp; Just come up with a kill switch for Javelin.&nbsp; I don't think that's a lot to ask an engineer.&nbsp; Let me help.&nbsp; A code shutdown.&nbsp; Shutdown request.&nbsp; Email or text? Code to shut it down sent.&nbsp; How hard can that be?

It's simple. If every player who experiences issues with an EA game never bought another one then the company would eventually go bust.

Ah no, wait a minute. Saudi PIF have bought EA so they'll get money anyway and still not provide usable products :(

It came like a lightning bolt to me. One day FC 26 worked, next day i can't play any EA game because of this javelin anticheat error(tried few, same problem). I didn't install any programs or windows updates or drivers updates(in that night before error). And now i've tried all easy logical and even non logic solutions. Nothing helps. What's more strange, that after a day+ i cannot login to FC 26 web and mob app with a problem "ea account servers unavailable", and solution to fix it is to login to the game. :) Well well, i can't login to the game, i can't manage my team from web or mob app. And it's happen in the best promo of the year.

But i found so many people(in last 2 years) having this problem time by time. What EA is thinking... two years same problem, ant they can't fix it. Almost every time they propose a childish solutions(that most people try them even before googling how to fix).
