You might be on to something with that. I've seen some cases where Easy Anti-Cheat doesn't get along with some software.
Have you tried setting up a Clean Boot on your PC to see if that helps? If there is something else running on the PC that's related to the crashes that may help to get around it. You can find more info on how to set up a Clean Boot at the EA Help website.
If you're able to give that a shot please let me know how it goes. Thanks!
