Hey all,

We appreciate your constant updates regarding this issue.

Could you kindly update us if the issue persists since yesterday or even today? If the problem continues, we suggest you attempt to repair the game through the EA app (if you have it on the EA app) or validate the game files through Steam or Epic.

Please let us know in this thread if the problem persists, or if it has been successfully resolved.

Thank you.

Please read https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/PLATFORM-HowTo-get-proper-technical-issue-help/td-p/10941... and especially the part about listing the things you have already tried.

First thing I would try is running the anticheat installer again.

I've tried that did not work I've repaired the EA did not work I've fresh downloaded it again nothing. I've redownloaded the game nothing I refunded it from steam to see if it was a steam issues was not. My pc is in safe mode

Tried a proper clean boot and not just running in safe mode?

@Carbonic Do you know why managers move "Error 116" issue posts to "Error 117" thread? Even though those issues are completely different.

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/EA-AntiCheat-has-detected-an-unacceptable-configuration-1...

That's preventing the issues from being solved.

[Carbonic]

No but I can send that along.

Do you have Windows 11 and if so do can you post a screenshot showing if secure boot is enabled?
