Title: EA AntiCheat error after every Windows restart (Steam version)
Since the latest Battlefield 6 update, I have to repair EA AntiCheat or verify Steam game files every time I restart my PC.
System:
- Platform: Steam
- OS: Windows 11
- Secure Boot: Enabled
- Antivirus: AVG (checked, no files quarantined)
Issue:
After a Windows restart, launching Battlefield 6 gives:
"EA AntiCheat encountered an error"
The game only works again after:
- Steam → Verify integrity of game files
or - Reinstalling EA AntiCheat
After applying the fix, the game works normally until the next PC restart, then the same issue returns.
Steam verification replaces approximately 4 files (~40 MB) every time, which suggests an EA AntiCheat/game file state issue rather than a hardware problem.
Troubleshooting already done:
- Verified Steam game files multiple times
- Reinstalled EA AntiCheat multiple times
- Checked AVG quarantine/history
- Checked Windows Security settings
- Confirmed Windows is fully updated
- Confirmed Secure Boot is enabled
Please investigate whether the latest Battlefield 6 update introduced an EA AntiCheat regression for Steam users.

in short this is very inconvenient for EA!!
i found a temp solution but this can cause other players with no information about how do PCs work to simply quit the game
so i suggest fixing it[Urgent]
Thanks.
