EA AntiCheat (Javelin) Still Broken
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.
