How am I supposed to fix this? I mean, it's literally a program my PC needs...
EA AntiCheat has detected an incompatible driver. Please update or disable ‘c:\program files (x86)\msi\dragon center\winio64.sys’ and restart. (119)

That didn't solve the problem, but it doesn't matter I have to get a new PC to play it anyway.

Have you tried launching BF1 without MSI first? Does it run well? Idk why your BF1 is not running with MSI, cuz my run with MSI without any issues. Try reinstalling MSI software or try installing it on a diff drive.

I temporarily renamed the “winio64.sys” file and was able to start a game, but then my PC's fans stopped working 🤡

If the file had "sys", it means it's a system file. Never temper with system files for any game.
How about just don't use MSI with BF1? Why you wanna read stats when It's not even a hardware demanding game? You can just use a simpler program like Fraps. Steam FPS Overlay is also an option if you only want to see your FPS midgame.

Why are you telling me about a program to check my FPS? I said that system file was necessary for my fans... I'm currently using an MSI laptop that's over 5 years old. Even with an RTX 2060, it doesn't run as well as I'd hoped, so I don't really need to fix the problem anymore.
Thanks anyway, but I'm going to keep playing BF4.

Dude, that's why you always mention your specs first. I thought you was talking about BF1 not running with "MSI Afterburner" software, cuz that what ppl usually use with their games.
Well, idk about MSI Laptops much and you don't wanna fix this issue, so ig, enjoy playing BF4!
