Subject: False Positive Detection - MSI Dragon Center Compatibility Issue
Hello, I'm currently experiencing an issue when trying to launch Battlefield 2042. The game shows a message stating that I need to either update or close Dragon Center in order to play. However, I'm using MSI Dragon Center version 2.6.2005.0601, which is the only version fully compatible with my MSI hardware and system. I am not using Dragon Center to interfere with the game or for any unfair purposes — I only use it to manage hardware features such as fan speed and performance profiles. This version of Dragon Center has worked fine in the past and never caused issues until recently. Could you please confirm whether this version is being flagged as a false positive by Easy Anti-Cheat, and whether there’s a way to whitelist or allow it so I can continue playing Battlefield 2042 without losing access to my hardware features? I appreciate your support and understanding. Best regards,
Hazard Zone uplink bug
I'd like to report a bug in Hazard Zone concerning the uplinks. Sometimes in the UI the uplinks, that me and my team have collected, are not shown. Usually you can see them in a little green box with the number of redeploy, gear and vehicle uplinks we have. But sometimes the green box is just empty, not even showing '0' uplinks. Also sometimes, when we still have redeploy uplinks, I can't use them. I can press 'B' and my character starts doing something with his hands, but the menu from which you can usually chose which one you want to use, just doesn't open. Is there a known fix to this?
Game Crash Issue with AMD Adrenaline 25.5.1 Drivers on Battlefield 2042
Dear EA Support, I would like to report a critical compatibility issue between Battlefield 2042 and the latest AMD Adrenaline drivers (version 25.5.1). and it seems many players have the same problem. After updating to this driver version, the game consistently crashes during mid-game death scenes, making it unplayable. The only current workaround is to roll back to an older driver version, which is not ideal for users who require the latest updates for other applications or titles. I kindly request that the development team investigate this matter and release an update or patch to ensure Battlefield 2042 runs properly with the latest AMD drivers. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Best regards, DragoGreece
Vehicle spawn in is bugged
Flying a plane or heli, u get shot down then when u spawn into a new one it doesn't load properly, and killing u instantly. U get the colour of the sky but not loading properly into new vehicle. Thus killing you. I play alot of PvE cuz i want to chill. And this ruins **bleep** half the fun. Needing to restart the Match for it to work again.
[INFO] BF2042 Patch 8.8 (May 27) – Secure Boot Requirement for Supported Systems
With Update 8.8.0 on Battlefield 2042, we will require that Secure Boot be enabled for PC hardware that can support it. This will provide you with a higher standard of trust and safety while you play select EA titles. As cheat developers keep evolving their tactics, we're stepping up our game, too. To keep Battlefield 2042 fair and fun for everyone, we're strengthening our defences, especially against cheats that try to sneak in during the Windows boot process. This move supports our Positive Play commitment and helps ensure a level playing field for all players.If you attempt to load the game following Update 8.8.0 without Secure Boot enabled, but are on a piece of hardware that supports it, you will be prompted with a message stating that Secure Boot is required. Secure Boot is a feature available for Windows 11 and Windows 10 devices, and you can learn more about how to enable this functionality via our EA Help article here. (‼️At Your Own Risk‼️) How to Reset Secure Boot if Battlefield 2042 Does Not Recognise It Before you proceed, consult your motherboard manual for precise steps. BIOS/UEFI menus vary by manufacturer. EA is not responsible for any damage or loss of data. ‼️This is at your own risk.‼️ Incorrect changes to BIOS/UEFI can render your system unbootable. Verify that Secure Boot, not just UEFI boot, is required. Ensure your system boots properly with CSM (Compatibility Support Module) disabled. ‼️Consult your motherboard manual‼️ for precise steps. BIOS/UEFI menus vary by manufacturer. EA is not responsible for any damage or loss of data. Steps to Reset Secure Boot Enter BIOS/UEFI Settings Restart your PC and press the designated key (usually DEL, F2, ESC) to enter BIOS/UEFI. Locate Secure Boot Settings Navigate to the Security or Boot tab. Assess the Current Secure Boot State If the Mode is User, you can usually enable Secure Boot directly. If the Mode is Setup, follow these steps: Disable Secure Boot (if it says Enabled). If it shows Standard, switch to Custom. Then switch back from Custom to Standard, accept factory defaults. Enable Secure Boot. Optional: Reset Secure Boot Keys In some BIOS/UEFI versions, you can select Reset/Delete Secure Boot Keys under the Secure Boot settings. Save and Exit BIOS/UEFI Save your changes and restart your computer. Verify Secure Boot Status in Windows Press Windows + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter. In System Information, check the Secure Boot State field. If it says On, Secure Boot is enabled and recognized by Windows. If it says Off, revisit BIOS to adjust settings. If it says Unsupported, your hardware may not support Secure Boot. Restart and Launch Battlefield 2042 Launch the game to check if Secure Boot is now recognized. Final Warnings: Follow your motherboard’s manual. BIOS/UEFI instructions can vary greatly. Making incorrect BIOS/UEFI changes may prevent your system from booting.

SecureBoot is not enabled. This is how Battlefield 2042 became unplayable.
After the BATTLEFIELD 2042 UPDATE #8.8.0, I cannot start the game due to the error "SecureBoot is not enabled" ... (111). This is not acceptable. I cannot activate SecureBoot because it's not supported. The last time I tried it messed up everything and I had to format and reinstall everything. EA cannot force its users to change their machine settings to play one game. Roll back or refund. The game is broken and not playable.Will not update. Xbox series S
Hello, I have plenty of storage space available and my xbox is completely fine running other online games and apps. I went to update battlefield today and it stopped at 6 percent. I went to resume and it stopped again. I went to cancel the update and it un-installed the game. I'm now reinstalling the game and it won't let me install now. I'm only having issues with this game and my series S is running good. I don't really know what to do.
CFT and TN spikes
Hey all, Firstly, I've had this issue for years and I cannot seem to resolve it. Every couple minutes during gameplay I get random CFT and TN spikes (see attached pics) which always screw me up. A second later, gameplay goes back to normal. During the spike, I see CPU and GPU utilisation dip in MSI Afterburner. My specs are: 14700k 64gb DDR5 RTX5080 (originally 3080ti) NVME SSD 750mb/s internet connection on ethernet ... Resource constraints aren't the issue. I don't have this issue in any other game. I never had issues when I first started playing the game on release. It maybe popped up a year later. What I've tried: Disabling C-states Disabling one drive sync Different USB ports for K&M Different K&M Mouse raw input vs not Closing all non-essential applications/services Reinstalling and repairing easy anti cheat Reinstalling BF2042 Cleared cache Reformatting computer - clean install everything Upgrading bios Clean boot with most windows apps disabled Disabling all overlays Deleting IGO32.dll & IGO64.dll Running as administrator Lowered graphics settings/lighting/reflex/frame rate cap/ There doesn't seem to be a way to contact EA support. I've tried asking Reddit and got no help there. Maybe someone can help me here?Error while logging in after being gone for 1+ year
I've been gone from the game for over a year and decided to play again now that I have a new PC build. I downloaded the game through Steam with a monthly subscription. I also have the EA game launcher installed. When I try to play the game through either one I get the same Pop Up from EA saying: "There's been an error. Try resetting your password and restarting your game. You can now close this window" I follow the link provided by the popup and I have reset my password. Still nothing. I close the window and try to relaunch through the desktop icon, Steam platform, and EA launcher and they all bring me to the same Pop Up error window. I have googled the error message and have tried clearing cache and validating my files through steam and nothing helps. It also says to contact EA support but I don't see anywhere on this site that offers support/contact us.
Aim assist not working…
There is an issue with both aim assist and uniform soldier aiming after this update. Unsure if it is effecting all players, but aim assist is no longer working. Additionally, Uniform Solder Aiming now has very strong sensitivity values that are felt most in low magnification scopes.
AMD 25.6.1 still crashes BF2042 — the driver was updated, but nothing changed
I haven’t been able to play BF2042 at all with AMD driver version 25.5.1. Yesterday, I updated to the new 25.6.1 hoping it would fix the issue… but it didn’t. Less than 3 minutes into a match, the game crashes to desktop with no error message. Unfortunately, there still seems to be no solution so far — the only workaround is rolling back to driver version 25.4.1. My GPU is a 6700 XT, and my CPU is a Ryzen 7 5800X3D
SOLUTION: How to enable Secure Boot on Gigabyte Motherboard
Enabling Secure Boot on Gigabyte Z590 Motherboard: Complete Guide Secure Boot is an important security feature that ensures your system only boots with trusted software. For Gigabyte Z590 motherboard users, enabling Secure Boot requires several preparatory steps and careful configuration in the BIOS. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the entire process. Prerequisites for Enabling Secure Boot Before enabling Secure Boot on your Gigabyte Z590 motherboard, you need to ensure several system requirements are met: UEFI Mode: Your system must be running in UEFI mode, not Legacy BIOS mode 7 GPT Partition Style: Your boot drive must use GPT (GUID Partition Table) rather than MBR (Master Boot Record) 7 14 Updated BIOS: Ensure you have the latest BIOS version installed for your motherboard 12 TPM 2.0 Enabled: Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 (though Secure Boot itself doesn't require it) 16 Step 1: Check Current Secure Boot Status Before making any changes, verify your current Secure Boot status: Press Win + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter In System Information, look for: Secure Boot State (should show "Off" initially) BIOS Mode (must say "UEFI") 7 Step 2: Verify Disk Partition Style Secure Boot requires GPT partition style: Press Win + X and select Disk Management Right-click your boot disk > Properties > Volumes tab Check "Partition style" - must be "GUID Partition Table (GPT)" 7 If your disk is MBR, you'll need to convert it to GPT before proceeding. Backup your data first as this process may erase your disk. Step 3: Enter BIOS Setup Restart your computer During startup, repeatedly press the Delete key to enter BIOS 16 Press F2 to switch to Advanced Mode if needed 16 Step 4: Disable Compatibility Support Module (CSM) Secure Boot cannot be enabled while CSM is active: Navigate to the BIOS tab Find CSM Support (may be under Boot options) Set CSM Support to Disabled 7 12 Save changes and exit (F10) Re-enter BIOS to continue configuration 12 Step 5: Enable TPM 2.0 (Optional for Windows 11) For Intel processors on Z590: Navigate to Settings > Miscellaneous or Peripherals Find Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT) Set to Enabled 16 Save changes (F10) Step 6: Enable Secure Boot Now you can enable Secure Boot: Navigate to the BIOS tab Find Secure Boot option (may be under Security tab) Set Secure Boot to Enabled 7 If prompted about Platform Keys (PK), select Install Default Secure Boot Keys 12 Save changes and exit (F10) Note: Some systems may require you to first set Secure Boot Mode to "Custom", restore factory keys, then switch back to "Standard" mode 14 Step 7: Verify Secure Boot is Active After rebooting: Press Win + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter Check that Secure Boot State now shows "On" 7 14 Troubleshooting Tips If you encounter issues: Black screen on boot: Likely indicates your disk is still MBR - convert to GPT 14 Secure Boot option greyed out: Ensure CSM is completely disabled 12 Error about Platform Keys: Install default Secure Boot keys 12 Windows won't boot: You may need to disable Secure Boot temporarily to access recovery options Important Notes Enabling Secure Boot is not strictly required for Windows 11 installation (the system just needs to support it) 14 Some older operating systems or hardware may not work with Secure Boot enabled Certain games (like Valorant) require Secure Boot for their anti-cheat systems 14 By following these steps carefully, you should successfully enable Secure Boot on your Gigabyte Z590 motherboard, adding an important layer of security to your system.
Wheeled warrior not popping
Hello! I would love to be able to get the platinum of this game and wheeled warrior is my last trophy missing and even although I have completed the requirements and obtained T1 with LATV4 and Pondhawk didn’t get no trophy yet. I will keep playing this amazing get and eventually get more vehicles to T1 but is there anything that can be done about it? I have tried several ways to try to unlock it like launching random games, getting them to level 41 or waiting some days and nothing seems to work. Any advice or fixed on this matter would help a lot. I know other people have the same issue.
