I opened the debug files in Visual Studios and the error is "The Thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access"

Google shows me various possible fixes. I tried changing my memory timing to default 2400 MHz with no effect.

I'm trying various things now but if anyone has any insight I'd love some.

Hey @mikeha4 Could we try the steps here to repair Easy Anti-cheat and check if this continues?

    Repairing EAC had no effect.

    Changed my memory timings to several other speeds, and it didn't do anything either.

    I ran both windows memory diagnostic and my BIOS memory tester and both came out fine.

    I have run the game in compatibility mode for windows 8 and 7 with no effect.

    I'm running out of things to try...

        I don't know, but probably not. I can see I'm connected with both Steam and Epic (along with PSN).

        I have BF1, Mass Effect LE and Jedi Fallen Order linked between Steam and EA which all work fine.

        I did have the original Origin app installed and that wasn't linked to anything as far as I know.
