AntiCheat Broken, Cannot Launch Via Steam

Hey there,

I was able to play a bit of the new update but recently started getting an error that cannot be resolved despite attempting everything (uninstall/repair of anticheat, verified game files, uninstalled/reinstall game, adjusted windows security settings).

TLDR: When I try to launch the game, it says "EAANtiCheat.cfg is missing or corrupted. Repair or reinstall the game"

This is surely somehow linked to the new update as I've had 0 issues in the past. Please look into this EA! I can no longer play your game and would very much like to.

    Same here, posted like a month ago about a bug that is not fixed yet, about a challenge not tracking and now this...

  • I am also having the exact same issue. I was playing last night, let my computer install some Windows 11 update when it shut down, today the game is not working, giving me the same error message you guys are having. I'm wondering if it is connected to the Windows update, or if DICE pushed a hotfix or something. I have tried all the recommended steps I could find. Verified the game files, reboot. No. Uninstalled the entire game, reboot, reinstall. No. Run the anticheat install as admin, tried uninstall/reboot/reinstall. No. Tried repair/reboot. No. Tried update/reboot. No. Game refuses to launch.

    The windows update that installed last night has to do with Secure Boot certificates, so I'm wondering if there's a conflict there:

    UPDATE. Today I was able to get the game to launch without the error. I first tried to launch it again, no luck. Then ONCE AGAIN I verified the game files. The next time I launched it, it took longer than it normally would, and I saw it saying something about running a Javelin anticheat installer script among other things, than the game launched. As of now, it is working. Not sure what went sideways before. Anyway, try using Steam to verify your game files one more time, maybe you'll get lucky, or maybe somebody pushed a hotfix.
