This software cannot be used at the same time as the game: Interception
What did you expect to happen? The game starts via steam, load EA app with EA AC and then load the game to title screen. What actually happened instead? The game started via steam, loaded the EA app as well as the EA AC but not loading the game. instead the error happened: "This software cannot be used at the same time as the game. Please make sure it's not running, or restart your PC.: Interception" What device/system are you using? Windows 10 PC, launched the game via Steam. Other Information: Checked any app or drivers installed with the name "Interception". None Restarted the PC. No error on startup. Check integrity of the file via Steam. Done, no error. Repair EA AC via the installer. Success Reinstall EA AC via the installer. Success. Again, restarted the PC. No error on startup. The game was tested between each steps. Same error. Some other user on reddit seemed to have the same problem since yesterday. I recently did a windows 10 reinstall.SolvedAudio drop out on my focusrite 4i4 3rd

(84): DiscSoftLTDSolvedBanned for unknown reason due to app glitch
My issue looked to be caused by Daemon tools lite. This app was added by ASUS and I do not even know what it’s for. When it would load mine would say something about closing software DiskSoftLtd. I was working with Microsoft and ended up resetting my computer finally and deleting the app. When I finally got everything back up EA games had banned me from 2042. I have appealed and the denied me saying I was cheating. I can’t talk to anyone that can help me from ea games and they won’t give me any specific answer on what I did. I am beyond frustrated. My computer going crazy caused this and even with photos of the errors I got and my Microsoft case number they won’t even fix it. I really liked this game and now I can’t play it. Customer service is a joke when they don’t really look into my case just push me off instead of checking. Can anyone give me any help talking to someone at EA that will actually listen and look into my case. Also this did not effect any of the other battlefields I have so I do not know what happened.Battlefield 2042 DiscSoftLTD
This pops up when I try to play This software cannot be used at the same time as the game. Please make sure it's not running, or restart your PC. (84): DiscSoftLTD I was playing couple days back and now I cant I have tried all the stuff people in other discutions are doing but I have no DiscSoftLTD or rewasd anywhere I never even used that kind of softwareThis software cannot be used at the same time as the game.: Interception
On 14.05.2025 I got this error when i tried to open BF2042: "This software cannot be used at the same time as the game. Please make sure it's not running, or restart your PC.: Interception" I tried by myself to search for a solution and nothing i tried worked, i talked with EA support and i did all the steps they gave to me and nothing solved the issue. To be mentioned game worked well till that day. on that day something changed and i do not know what. I already did: restart PC and apps, disable all start up apps and restart, enable all start up apps and restart, check files integrity for windows and game, reinstalled the game, reinstalled the anti cheat, deleted the files from C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts and from C:\ProgramData\Origin restart and checked the game, checked the task manager for Interception app, checked the installed apps for this name or similar apps and nothing, changed the mouse restart and tried again, uninstalled the windows update that were done on 14.05, loaded a windows backup from before that date....nothing solved. If you know what can cause this or what ca I try next I am open for ideas.Autohotkey Error start to appear after recent updates across BF1, BFV and BF2042
I have never used any type of software and suddenly after recent update this started to happen. I have seen many users having this issues lately. Only software running is NVIDIA control panel, MSI after burner and Logitech G-hub ?!! I have a problem across all recent BF games BF 1 , BF V and BF 2042. I still have to try some of the things, will see what happens, but this is concerning. It truly is ! Ensure AutoHotkey or Similar Programs are Not Running Check Background Processes: Sometimes, AutoHotkey scripts or similar software may still be running in the background even if you don't actively use them. You can check Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) to make sure there are no scripts or programs running that might be triggering the anti-cheat. Close Background Software: If you're using any programs for custom keybinds, overlays, or macros (like Razer Synapse, Logitech G Hub, etc.), try disabling them temporarily and relaunch the game. Verify Game Files Corrupted Files: EAC might flag certain files if there are corrupted or missing files. You can try verifying the integrity of your game files via Steam (or the respective game launcher). Right-click on the game in your library > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files. Check for Other Software Interference Security Software: Anti-virus software or firewall settings can sometimes cause interference with anti-cheat software, thinking it's an intrusion. Try temporarily disabling or adding exceptions to your firewall/antivirus to see if it’s causing the issue. Overlay Software: Disable any third-party overlay software (like Discord, Nvidia GeForce Experience, Steam’s overlay, etc.) to see if that resolves the issue. Run Game as Administrator Admin Privileges: Sometimes, anti-cheat issues can arise from permissions. Try running the game and/or the EA app as an administrator (right-click the executable > Run as Administrator). Reinstall EA AntiCheat Reinstall EAC: If none of the above works, you can try reinstalling the EA AntiCheat. Go to the Battlefield directory, find the "EA AntiCheat" folder, and reinstall it. If you're using the EA app, you can also try uninstalling and reinstalling the game. Check for Conflicting Keybinds Keybind Conflicts: Even if you're not using AutoHotkey, certain keybinds or macros (even if manually configured in software like Razer Synapse) can sometimes be flagged as "suspicious." Try resetting your keybinds or clearing any macros to see if that helps.I was unfairly banned from BF2042 and accused of cheating.
I am extremely outraged—I have never used any kind of cheat in any game. I have only one account for games on Steam, and I only buy games there. The only thing I did on my PC was open Steam and launch BF2042. Recently, I received an email in the morning stating that my account was banned for using cheats. I followed the instructions in the email and appealed, believing it was a mistake, but they said they would uphold the decision. I sent screenshots of my Steam account (no cheater would risk their main account), and I offered to provide whatever they needed as proof that I did not cheat. However, they only reply with a generic message saying the decision will stand. Has anyone ever managed to get a real review? Has anyone ever gotten their account back? Is there anything I can do? If I have to buy the game again and keep switching accounts just to play, I’ll simply give up—it’s not worth the effort.Ea AntiCheat
