Anti cheat doesnt trust joystick system file

Hello everyone,

I would like to play with my Logitech Phantom Hawk Joystick.

Without the joystick plugged in the game does opperate.

However the game doesnt start when it's plugged in.

After hitting start the loading screen appears. The progress bar fills up and the window closes again. Now instead of launching the game an Anti Cheat error message appears.

It says: Untrusted System file (C:\Program Files(x86)\USB_Vibration\PHANTOM HAWK\EZFRD64.dll)

So it seems to me that EAC doesn't trust this file.

I already contacted EA and tried to contact EAC but they couldn't help me or their support page didn't work.

I also did these steps: (suggested here: https://www.easy.ac/en-us/support/game/issues/errors/)

-Scanning for corrupted files via sfc /scannow

-Updating Windows

-Reinstalling Anti Cheat and the Joystick driver

Does anyone also have this problem? 

Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Update:

    I just deleted the file and changed the name of the 32bit version (EZFRD32.dll) to 64 (EZFRD64.dll).

    The game now launches with the joystick plugged in.

    The Joystick is still fully functional at least in the driver menu.

    But now the game interprets the joystick as a controller, so that the descriptions are really confusing and the yaw and the upper 8-way d-pad is not recognized.

    Anybody advice?

    Thanks for your help but Disabling steam input (yt video) did not fix for me and Deleting ezfrd64.dll and renaming 32 to 64 give me same problem as you.
    The only work solution is to unistall joystick driver and let windows install default one compatible driver maybe this wirk for you too.
    But this is not the right solution because i lost vibration functionality needed in other games / sims and some specific joyistick configuration that i need.

    Please EA or Easy anti cheat devs help us to solve this issue, how a simple .dll file for a joystick is reconized as not secure and block entire game to running?? 
    How can we do? or who need to solve this? maybe who create the dll ? please help thanks.

    I think i figurerd out how to deal with this problem:

    1.Rename the file to get the game to run with a joystick attached.

    2.To use every button on the joystick and get the right descriptions install vjoy and joystick gremlin and create a virtual joystick which uses physical input to function.

    Remaining problems:

    1.Since yesterday evening my game crashes randomly

    2.The physical inpupt is still recognized by the game which leads sometimes to sudden unusability of the joystick in the game
