THE GAME CLOSES AS IT OPENED

[HakanKaya]

When I enter the game and participate in any mission, the game closes as soon as it opens, and sometimes it even crashes without opening the game. What do you think is the problem?

It´s same for me, as I read in formuns it´s a problem with EA cheat

Do you use any programs that edit Windows, like Windhawk? Try closing any programs on the taskbar that can modify windows. It finally worked for me.

Ive seen you post this on a few of the posts on similar issues, Ive looked and I do now have windhawk running, how do I know what applications can edit windows?

I was not telling anyone to install or run windhawk. I was telling them to do the opposite. To close the windhawk.exe inside the task manager.

Windhawk customize your windows appearance by editing powershell, and other stuff that is pertinent to the windows core files. This action can be seen as suspicious by antivirus programs, and programs like EA Anticheat. This is why I recommend close the task before launching BF1.

This fixed worked for me, and it worked for multiple people. If this doesn't fix your issue, then I am sorry. You may have to contact support, or get a refund.

Good luck.

Run the game as administrator, it worked for me

The last two days I've had a slightly different problem with Anti-cheat (anti cheat refused to launch the game from the get-go) but the fix I found may be of use in ur situation:

Locate the EA Anticheat.installer file in ur BF1 game folder.

Right click on that file and scroll down to Properties. Then click on the Compatibility tab and tick the box that says "Disable Full Optimization" For good measure I also ticked the "Run as Administrator" box.

After I did this the game launched immediately. Hope it helps...

add bf1.exe to the exclusion list in Windhawk in advanced settings and any other EA game that this issue persists with. No need to close windhawk every time.
