Battlefield 6 - Repeated BSODs caused by EA Anti-Cheat (Intel i7-14700K)
Hi everyone, I'm posting this in the hope that EA can investigate this issue, as I've spent days troubleshooting and have ruled out many common causes. System Specifications: CPU: Intel Core i7-14700K GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 7800 XT Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B760M-PLUS WIFI II RAM: 32GB Corsair DDR5 5600MHz Storage: Windows on C: drive, Battlefield 6 on a separate NVMe SSD (D: drive) PSU: Gigabyte UD850W (850W) Cooler: Corsair Titan 360 RX AIO Windows 11 (fully updated) Latest AMD GPU drivers Latest motherboard BIOS The Issue: Around 28th-30th July, Battlefield 6 suddenly started crashing my entire PC with Blue Screens of Death. Before then, the game had been working normally. Nothing changed with my hardware or BIOS configuration immediately before the issue began, yet the crashes started completely out of nowhere. This is not a normal game crash—it completely crashes Windows and forces the PC to reboot. The crashes are inconsistent. On some occasions I can play a full match before the system blue screens, while on others the PC crashes within 5–10 minutes and even when I'm idling in the menu. I have not found any consistent action or point in the match that triggers the crash. I also tested today's Battlefield 6 update as soon as it became available, but it did not resolve the issue. The game continues to trigger the same BSODs on my system. Crash Analysis: I've analysed multiple minidumps using WinDbg. Every dump consistently points to: IMAGE_NAME: eaanticheat.sys FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: AV_eaanticheat!unknown_function SYMBOL_NAME: eaanticheat+4b480f3 Every crash dump I've analysed points back to the EA Anti-Cheat kernel driver, with the stack trace consistently ending inside eaanticheat.sys. Troubleshooting Already Performed Over the last several days I have tried: Completely uninstalling and reinstalling EA Anti-Cheat. Repairing EA Anti-Cheat multiple times. Running the EA Anti-Cheat installer and launcher as Administrator. Verifying the Battlefield 6 game files. Updating Windows. Updating my motherboard BIOS. Updated Intel Chipset Driver, Intel Management Engine Interface and Intel Serial IO. Updating to the latest AMD graphics drivers. Using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to completely remove my GPU drivers before installing the latest AMD driver. Testing with XMP both enabled and disabled (the PC still crashes after roughly 10-20 minutes either way). Disabling third-party antivirus. Adding Battlefield and EA Anti-Cheat to Windows Exploit Protection exclusions. Disabling as many third-party kernel-level applications and background software as possible. Restarting between troubleshooting attempts. Performed CPU and RAM stability testing (including OCCT) to check for hardware instability. Those tests did not reproduce the Battlefield 6 BSODs, suggesting the crashes are specific to Battlefield 6 and/or EA Anti-Cheat rather than occurring under general system load. One interesting thing happened after repairing EA Anti-Cheat. The game crashed to desktop instead of blue screening my PC, and I managed to finish a full match beforehand. I initially thought this had resolved the issue, but after repeating the exact same repair process, the crashes returned and my entire PC blue screened again. I have also tested Battlefield 1 on the same system without any crashes, BSODs or unexpected reboots, suggesting the issue is specific to Battlefield 6 rather than gaming in general. Request: Has anyone with a similar system, particularly an Intel 13th or 14th generation CPU, experienced this? If anyone from EA is reading this, could this please be investigated? Multiple crash dumps consistently identify eaanticheat.sys, and despite extensive troubleshooting the issue persists. A game crashing is frustrating enough, but software causing repeated kernel-level BSODs is a much more serious problem. At this point, I feel I've exhausted the troubleshooting that can reasonably be performed on my end, which is why I'm raising this in the hope that EA can investigate it further. I'm happy to provide crash dumps, WinDbg output, Event Viewer logs, or any additional diagnostic information if it helps identify the cause.
Unplayable before and after 08/06/2026
I have been having trouble playing the game before and after the update on 08/06/2026. My installation of the game has been fresh. I've tried renaming the Sims 4 folder to generate a new clean folder. The game starts, gets to the loading screen with the spinning green crystal on a blue background and crashes to desktop. This is on a clean install. No mods. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Game crashes before getting to main menu
I played yesterday and everything was fine. I didn't change anything and yet, today, I can't get to the main menu. I tried the tips recommended in other similar threads: removing mods, starting with a clean folder, doing a clean uninstall and reinstall of my driver, and I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game. I have attached the dxdiag from after I did all the above. Thanks in advance.
CFB27 crash (0xC0000409) + missing from account library and anticheat list
Previous thread: https://forums.ea.com/discussions/college-football-27-technical-issues-en/game-wont-boot-on-steam-since-last-update/13580051 --- SUMMARY --- College Football 27 on PC will not launch. It gets through the EA Javelin anti-cheat load, then closes immediately. This has been ongoing for several weeks despite extensive troubleshooting listed below. --- CORE SYMPTOMS --- - Game launches, anti-cheat loads, then the process closes with no visible error. - Windows Event Viewer shows: "collegefb27.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0xC0000409" every time, timed right at the anti-cheat load stage. - Occasionally (roughly 1 in 10 attempts), I'm prompted to log into Origin during launch (screenshot attached). When I complete that login, the game launches successfully. If I close it and immediately reopen, it fails again the same way, with no new login prompt. - Have also seen a "computer is offline" message pop up right after signing in, despite having a normal, stable internet connection. --- NEW EVIDENCE (not in original thread) --- 1. On EA's own account/game library page, College Football 27 does not show an "Owned" badge, while every other EA game I own does show it (screenshot attached). I have purchased and previously played CFB27. 2. Running EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe manually shows other EA titles (Madden, FC, Battlefield) in its game dropdown list, but College Football 27 does not appear as an option at all, despite being fully installed. Both of these point toward an account/entitlement registration issue on EA's side rather than a local PC problem. --- BACKGROUND CONTEXT --- Before this started, I had mods installed via Frosty Mod Manager. After a game update, the game began failing to launch. I fully removed all mods, unpatched via Frosty, and deleted leftover mod-related files (including a stray "datapath.old" file) before doing any of the troubleshooting below, to rule modding out as the cause. --- FULL LIST OF TROUBLESHOOTING ALREADY COMPLETED --- - Fully removed all mods and unpatched via Frosty Mod Manager (not just disabled) - Deleted leftover datapath file from prior modding - Verified game file integrity (Steam) - Full uninstall and reinstall of the game via EA App - Manually ran EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe (CFB27 not listed as an available game, see above) - Confirmed Secure Boot is enabled and TPM 2.0 is active in BIOS - Confirmed Windows is not in Test Mode (checked via bcdedit, no testsigning entry present) - Confirmed via Settings that I am not enrolled in the Windows Insider Program - Installed the latest available Windows update (2026-07 Update, KB5121767) anyway, no change - DxDiag reviewed line by line: no mention anywhere of "Insider," "Preview," "Canary," "Dev Channel," or "Beta Channel." OS Build Version shows 10.0.26100.8875 (26200.8875), which is the expected dual-numbering format for a 25H2 enablement package on a 24H2 base, not evidence of a non-retail build (full DxDiag attached) - Confirmed Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributables (x64 and x86) are already installed and current (v14.51.36247.0), so the "missing redistributable" prompt from one troubleshooting tool was a false positive - Closed all overlay, RGB/lighting, and OC monitoring software before launch attempts - Tried launching via Steam directly, via the EA App directly, and via Frosty, same failure pattern regardless of launcher - Checked Windows Event Viewer (Application log) and found the exit code 0xC0000409 entry described above --- ATTACHMENTS --- - DxDiag report - Screenshot: EA account library showing CFB27 without "Owned" badge while other titles show it - Screenshot: Origin sign-in prompt that appears during the intermittent successful launch pattern described above - Screenshot: Windows Update / Insider Program status showing not enrolled Given the amount of local troubleshooting already completed and ruled out, I'd really appreciate this being looked at from the account/entitlement side rather than repeating basic PC troubleshooting steps. Happy to provide any additional logs or details needed. Thank you.

Battlefield 6 Crashing - No Error/No Crash Log
Anytime i startup Battlefield 6, exactly after 55 seconds, the game closes to my desktop. No error, doesn't create a crash log. I have added EAAC to the windows security thing, along with the BF6.exe I have disabled upscaling, lowered my graphics, reinstalled the game, deleted the Battlefield 6 files in appdata, and documents. I have put the game in windowed mode (Which worked for 1 singular play session), I've tried what feels like everything to diagnose this issue with no ground being made. Attached is my DxDiag
EVGA Drivers trip anti-cheat
On launch, I get a Security Violation notice: "EA AntiCheat has detected an incompatible driver. Please update or disable 'c:\programfiles (x86)\evga\kernel\driver-x64.sys' and restart. (119)". The only thing I can think of is that I use EVGA Precision X1 to manage my graphics card(An EVGA 2080Ti)
Can't upload my plots to my library
Hey, For 4 days I can't upload my plots to my library. My internet is connected to my ps4, it's not the fastest, but I play Dead by daylight and Genshin Impact with the same internet with almost zero problems. I can access the gallery without a problem, the store of my ps4 isn't full or about to be and I deleted and re-uploaded the game, nothing changed. I've almost all DLC's (I know this causes problems) and the updates, well, are updated. Does anyone has an idea what I could do next? Cuz I can't really play like this. Thanks in advance
