Have to always launch the game twice to connect to online services
It seems I have to launch BF2042 twice in order to connect to the online services through the EA Desktop app. First time I launch it, I am in space watching a looping video of satellites. So I close the game and I launch it again. Now BF2042 splash screen appears and I'm now connected to the online services. How can I fix it?KillerKoala7850 minutes agoRising Novice6Views0likes1CommentAudio drops out entirely throughout entire PC
So when i boot the game, i get maybe 5 seconds where i can hear audio in the main menu before it cuts out my device entirely and not just within battlefield its my ENTIRE PC, all sounds from system and any other apps. I use XLR headphones through a scarlet amp so i think battlefield may be having issues with it as if i switch to my speakers it works just fine and audio comes back but if i switch but it all cuts out again. Ive tried updating drivers and lowering the bitrate through my headphones but the issue prevailsa7d684fb480fa8433 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer105Views4likes5CommentsAudio drop out on my focusrite 4i4 3rd

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.Braccial3 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer910Views15likes30CommentsError/Bug - This software cannot be used at the same time as the game
Hello, I'm playing Battlefield 2042 on PC for quite some time without any issue. Last night I have installed the game on my PS5 and played a bit, all was good - but now when I want to play the game on my PC, I face this error (see attached). What should I do to fix this? Now I can play the game only on my PS5 but not on my PC. Thank you!SolvedGhost_of_Romania6 hours agoSeasoned Novice3.3KViews2likes36Commentsgame falt

I don't have any software from DiscSoft or any daemon tools, I don't have input mapper software installed etc. there's no interception.sys too in services. Tried all fixes in discussions, youtubes and google. Still I can't play the game and can't just refund it cause it says I have 6 hrs game time in steam. How to fix this?Adobongmeowmeow16 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer82Views0likes6CommentsThis software cannot be used at the same time as the game: Interception
What did you expect to happen? The game starts via steam, load EA app with EA AC and then load the game to title screen. What actually happened instead? The game started via steam, loaded the EA app as well as the EA AC but not loading the game. instead the error happened: "This software cannot be used at the same time as the game. Please make sure it's not running, or restart your PC.: Interception" What device/system are you using? Windows 10 PC, launched the game via Steam. Other Information: Checked any app or drivers installed with the name "Interception". None Restarted the PC. No error on startup. Check integrity of the file via Steam. Done, no error. Repair EA AC via the installer. Success Reinstall EA AC via the installer. Success. Again, restarted the PC. No error on startup. The game was tested between each steps. Same error. Some other user on reddit seemed to have the same problem since yesterday. I recently did a windows 10 reinstall.SolvedTHEdarkkman24 hours agoSeasoned Novice800Views1like8CommentsGame crashes upon death
Bug Report: Battlefield 2042 Crash on Death Animation So earlier today I started back playing Battlefield 2042 after not playing for about a year due to the new Dead Space collab with the new Outbreak mode. However, I'm having a serious issue where every time I die, right as the death animation starts to play, the game freezes and crashes immediately with no error message. This happens in all modes. I've looked online and seen others with similar issues. Some reported that deleting the cache folder for the game helped, but it was only a temporary fix — the issue returned within 30–45 minutes. Since deleting the folder didn’t help, I decided to reinstall the game, even though it’s large. Unfortunately, the problem got slightly worse: it started freezing even faster, sometimes before the death animation even starts. I then consulted ChatGPT, which recommended analyzing the crash dump file using a program called WinDbg. I did so, and shared the analysis with ChatGPT to interpret the results. ChatGPT Response Summary: Root Cause Summary: The crash was due to an Access Violation (0xC0000005) — specifically a read from a null or invalid pointer (0x0000000000000008). Crash Details: Module: amdxc64.dll (likely part of AMD graphics drivers) Function: Boost Serialization (boost::archive::detail::iserializer::load_object_data) Crash Reason: Attempted to read from RCX + 8, but RCX was NULL (0x0), leading to a crash. Contextual Clues: Crash occurred while BF2042.exe was running. Involves amdxc64.dll — a common AMD GPU driver library. Occurred during Boost serialization and DirectX 12 GPU pipeline operations. Likely Cause: A pointer used by the AMD graphics driver during deserialization or pipeline setup was NULL, causing the game to crash. So at this point, having done nearly every troubleshooting step and even running diagnostics with the help of ChatGPT, this is the closest I’ve gotten to an explanation. Hopefully someone from the developer team can help investigate further. And yes, before anyone asks — I did try switching the game to run in DirectX 11. The same issue persists.

- This problem suddenly appeared last night and I have tried all the solutions I know of. It tells me that there is another program running and the game will not allow it to run at the same time. I am certain that there is no program with that name or anything else that could support what this program is doing. I hope someone can help me solve this problem. - The image that appears shows the matter when running, although the rest of the versions I have are all working perfectly, only this versionSirajQ_Pek3 days agoRising Novice151Views2likes10CommentsFORCE CLOSE
the game always exits by itself, when I log in and play the game battlefield 2042, I play 1 match as usual, it doesn't take long, about 5-10 minutes in the game when I die, my game exits by itself and I have to re-enter the game, and it keeps repeating, this incident started when I upgraded the VGA RX6700XT to the next seriesLORDSinnerS3 days agoSeasoned Newcomer28Views1like2CommentsThis software cannot be used at the same time as the game.: Interception
On 14.05.2025 I got this error when i tried to open BF2042: "This software cannot be used at the same time as the game. Please make sure it's not running, or restart your PC.: Interception" I tried by myself to search for a solution and nothing i tried worked, i talked with EA support and i did all the steps they gave to me and nothing solved the issue. To be mentioned game worked well till that day. on that day something changed and i do not know what. I already did: restart PC and apps, disable all start up apps and restart, enable all start up apps and restart, check files integrity for windows and game, reinstalled the game, reinstalled the anti cheat, deleted the files from C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts and from C:\ProgramData\Origin restart and checked the game, checked the task manager for Interception app, checked the installed apps for this name or similar apps and nothing, changed the mouse restart and tried again, uninstalled the windows update that were done on 14.05, loaded a windows backup from before that date....nothing solved. If you know what can cause this or what ca I try next I am open for ideas.AirDragon933 days agoSeasoned Newcomer74Views0likes1CommentSecurity Violation: DiscSoftLTD
