BF6 not launching – EA AntiCheat error 0xc0000604
Hi, I am experiencing an issue where Battlefield 6 does not launch at all. The game closes immediately during EA AntiCheat initialization. Error: bf6.exe – 0xc0000604 Details: - The error occurs before the game starts (no loading screen or graphics) - The issue happens during EA AntiCheat initialization Service diagnostics: After checking system services, EA AntiCheat appears to be installed but fails to initialize properly: - "eaanticheat" (FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVER) is STOPPED with WIN32_EXIT_CODE 31 - "EAAntiCheatService" is stuck in START_PENDING state This indicates a low-level driver initialization failure rather than a missing installation. What I already tried: - Reinstalled EA AntiCheat - Reinstalled the game - Clean GPU driver installation - Ran the game as administrator - Enabled Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 - Removed third-party antivirus (only Windows Defender active) This issue started after a recent Windows update (build 26xxx). From my investigation, this seems related specifically to EA AntiCheat failing to initialize at driver level. Additional evidence: (see attached screenshots with service status) Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any help or confirmation would be appreciated.
BF6 cannot launch on some AMD mobile GPUs (RX6800M) - driver detection problem
Please help me bring some attention from EA or AMD to this issue. This is a bug that has not been fixed since game launch. We are now late March, almost April 2026. This bug prevents users from playing BF6. Not sure if EA or AMD has to review this. This applies to AMD mobile (laptop dedicated GPUs). A temporary fix is included down below. Please help me bring some attention from EA or AMD to this issue. Any vote is appreciated. The Problem: Battlefield 6 is detecting the wrong GPU driver. Even though your main GPU (RX 6800M) is updated, the game is reading the driver version of your Internal Processor Graphics (iGPU). Perhaps Windows Update often forcibly downgrades the iGPU driver to an older version (23.19.x), causing this mismatch error. Detailed pop-up message: Please update your AMD Radeon driver Detected AMD Radeon driver version 23.19.24.0. The required driver version is 25.10.25.1 or later. Please update your drivers at http://www.amd.com/ before playing the game. The Fix: You need to "spoof" the version number in the registry so the game sees the correct version and launches. 1. Open Regedit 2. Navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\{B1E7C0AD-2AE9-11F1-8B19-BD6702B5743D}\0000 (your path might be different) 3. Scroll down until you see DriverDesc, verify it states AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics 4. Afterward, keep scrolling down to ReleaseVersion, double click to edit, then change it to 25.10.25.1 (no need to put the rest, just 25.10.25.1 is fine) Hardware used to obtain this bug: ASUS ROG Strix G513QY This specific laptop does not have a MUX switch, so everything goes via the iGPU first. Even when using an external monitor via HDMI. Some people reported that using the USB-C (DP) with an adapter bypasses the Radeon iGPU. Of course, this was tested with a complete clean install of Windows 11 and the latest AMD mobile drivers as of March 28, 2026 for the AMD RX6800M. AMD Radeon iGPU driver version: 23.19.24-251211a-197843C-AMD-Software-Adrenalin-Edition (problem is that it reads this one) AMD Radeon RX 6800M driver version: 25.10.43.05-260303a-198974C-AMD-Software-Adrenalin-Edition (should be reading this one)
Bf 6 crashing ps5
When playing only BF6 the game is causing the ps5 to cut out and can only be turned back on by taking power cable out and putting back in. can play other games for hours without issue but BF6 is constantly causing PlayStation to cut out. It is not overheating as PlayStation is not warm to touch
Error Code 0:85009S
Receiving the above error code after 5 minutes of every game. I have been playing after the latest update with no problems however today this has been occurring everytime. Any fixes or workarounds that don't involve reinstalling windows, I aint doing that for an EA error. Had a few chats in game chat with people having the same issue.
Green Screen while on Ps5 Pro BF6 multiplayer match
Yesterday i played a multiplayer match and after 1 1/2 hour my 1 week old Ps5 Pro just freeze and after that a green screen appered and the console shut down. After that the console restarted it self and repared the database. it never happened on any other game, only in BF6. I seen some more threads here and on reddit to this topic, especially on Ps5 Pro. Please fix this! Does anyone else notice the same issue on Ps5 Pro? Mine is the revision 7121.Since Update 1.2.3.0 the game crashed and froze my ps5
I tried to play after the new update and upon loading to the new maps and game -the entire game froze, then my ps5 to which I had to power down ... the ps5 had to "repair" files but not sure I want to try starting this game now that I got my ps5 working again.
Stuck in Chat after death unable to respawn
After dying went to chat and clicked enter a few times, and then the game became unresponsive, the game was going and i could see my squadmate still fighting in the lower right mini spectator window, but could not interact with anything. Tried all the buttons on the keyboard, steam overlay worked, as did the screenshot function, went to windows and back multiple times, but all i could do is sit there and wait until the match was over and then force shutdown the game. Attached screenshot what the game looked like while locked.Ps5 Pro random green screen that leads to a shutdown while playing BF6
This has happened to me twice now, second time was just after the California resistance update on Nov 18th. The first time it happened about a week after launch, already had about 100 hours with no issues until the game froze & turned into a solid green screen, with my console shutting down about 30 seconds later. I never got a crash report or error message, it only said the power cord was unplugged incorrectly. So, I booted my ps5 pro in safe mode in order to clear cache, rebuild database, & re-install the latest software update, this seemed to fix it for a couple weeks but it just happened again yesterday, BF6 is the only game it has happened on twice now. This console isn’t even a year old & I know it’s not the hdmi cord or my console because I can play any other game for hours without any issues. The first time this happened on bf6 I had only been playing for about 20 minutes. Yesterday when it happened again I was playing for about 3 hours. At this point I’m honestly scared to play the game in case it bricks my 6 months old console, this needs to be addressed. Looking at other forums it seems to be a ps5 pro exclusive issue & no other game has caused this to happen on my system so far. I was debating sending it in to Sony for repairs as it’s still under warranty but I’m convinced it’s a technical issue in with the game. This needs to be addressed quickly cause I’d love to keep playing your game, but it’s seems rather risky with this happening at completely random times. The first time it happens the round had just started & I didn’t even get to fire my weapon yet, the second time it happened I was playing RedSec BR running away from the circle when it suddenly just froze & gave me a green screen again
Game keeps crashing after the latest update
I have tried repairing. reinstalling the anti cheat. drivers are up to date. this started to happen after the latest update. can't even finish a round. just keeps crashing. ironically it crashes faster after I tried reinstalling the anti cheat... game is litterally unplayable and I can't finish a single round.
