Titanfall 2 won't launch – Windows 11 Smart App Control blocks DLLs (3077)

Hello,

Titanfall 2 won't launch on Windows 11 because Smart App Control blocks two DLL files included with the EA App installation.

Affected files:

  • bin\x64_retail\launcher.dll
  • bin\x64_retail\tier0.dll

Technical findings:

  • Windows Code Integrity events: 3033, 3077 and 3089.
  • Blocking policy: VerifiedAndReputableDesktop.
  • Policy GUID: {0283ac0f-fff1-49ae-ada1-8a933130cad6}.
  • Both DLLs are reported as unsigned and do not satisfy the required signing level.
  • Smart App Control is enabled.

What I have already tried:

  1. Repaired Titanfall 2 using EA App.
  2. Verified that both DLLs are present.
  3. Compared their SHA-256 hashes before and after the repair; both remained identical.
  4. Confirmed that Windows still blocks the same DLLs after the repair.

I have not disabled Smart App Control or Microsoft Defender.

Could an EA representative confirm whether this is a known compatibility issue and whether an official fix is available?

I would like to run Titanfall 2 without disabling Windows security protections.

Thank you.
