It looks like I’ve almost definitely solved the problem. First of all, the anticheat doesn’t allow something to run in the background, but we can’t find what exactly. That’s why I followed the steps below, disabled everything except system files, EA apps, and Nvidia apps.
Press Windows Key + R to open the “Run” window.
Type msconfig into the box and press Enter. The System Configuration window will open.
Go to the Services tab at the top.
At the bottom left, check the box that says “Hide all Microsoft services.” This step is very important because if you don’t check it, you might disable services required for Windows to run.
Once checked, the list will now only show third-party services. Click the “Disable all” button.
Now go to the Startup tab and click the link “Open Task Manager.”
In the Startup Apps tab of Task Manager, you’ll see all the programs that launch automatically when your computer starts. Right-click on each one (except your antivirus software) and select “Disable.”
Close Task Manager. In the System Configuration window, click Apply and then OK.
You’ll be asked to restart your computer. Restart it.
When your computer boots back up, only Windows itself will be running. Now run the EA App and the game as administrator and check if the issue is still there. Most likely, your problem will be solved.
To restore things back to normal: Just follow the same steps in msconfig and Task Manager to re-enable the services and startup apps you previously disabled.
