The game crashes before it opens.
I can't launch the game battlefield 2042. I click launch in both the app and the desktop, the EA app disappears and the game loading image is displayed for 15 seconds, then the image disappears and the app reappears. I tried restarting the computer, repairing the game through the app, repairing the app itself. I deleted the app and the game, deleted all their files from the computer and reinstalled everything. I reinstalled the anti-cheat and nothing helps, the game won't open. (Other games I tried to install like BATTLEFIELD 1 and 5 did work. After consulting with the technical advice in chat, I also did the following: Clear EA App Cache Close the EA App completely. Navigate to: C:\Users<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop Delete the AppCache folder. Restart the EA App and try launching again. Run EA App and Game as Administrator Right-click EA App → Run as Administrator. Do the same for BF2042.exe in the game folder. Disable Overlays Turn off EA App Overlay, Steam Overlay, Discord Overlay, and any GPU overlays (NVIDIA/AMD). These can interfere with the game launch. Check Anti-Cheat Integrity Go to: C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA AntiCheat Run EAAntiCheatInstaller.exe → Repair for Battlefield 2042. Update or Reinstall Visual C++ Redistributables Download the latest x64 and x86 Visual C++ packages from Microsoft. Install or repair them. Force DirectX 11 Mode Battlefield 2042 defaults to DX12, which can cause crashes on some systems. Add a launch argument: -dx11 In EA App → Game Properties → Advanced Launch Options → Paste the above. Check GPU Drivers & Windows Updates Update to the latest GPU driver (NVIDIA/AMD). Ensure Windows is fully updated. Disable Fullscreen Optimizations Right-click BF2042.exe → Properties → Compatibility → Check Disable Fullscreen Optimizations. And nothing works. I would appreciate your helpBot and technical issues
I notice tanks will appear in random spots when one was not there then it kills me. I never had the opportunity to see it. Sometimes when you destroy one tank another appear behind it. The tanks should arrive in the distance or at some other point not appearing before me on the consistent basis. When you shoot a bot, all of a sudden a bot appears next to you in a blind spot and kills you. You do not have a chance of seeing these bots. We need the opportunity to see the bots approaching. The snipers have a great advantage on this game. I have not made it far in the game yet but it would be nice to send a helicopter strike (multiple bombs) at the sniper I would like to see a neck snap / choke hold instead of stabbing a guy for dog chains.
Do your job.
fix the matchmaking *snip*. fix the cheat *snip* with javelin is juvenile against make the game playable for full xo without without "official" breakthrough or conquest. Portal exists ands theres bots either way so whats the point? its an insult to have a conquest mode dedicated to less vehicles and more ground soldiers over a similar mode for breakthrough. Breakthrough chaos features maybe 4-5 maps played over and over that only had heavy vehicles. Ruined the whole thing. Look at the numbers. prior to discontinuing Chaos, most went back to regular breakthrough because there were more maps, some that included NO vehicles. The fact Dice doesnt understand how vehicles ruins some gameplay, such as rams against poorly balanced teams, tells me all I need to know about how much the people who make, produce and develop the game... actually play the game. also no game invokes an Nvidiacontainer error that crashes the game for Device Hung. Literally no other game, meaning no other platform. Its only EA games. Fishy how Chat GPT, Google AI and many typical sources blame NVidia FrameView,, Nvidia Drivers, and Windows despite every single error associated with those names sources way back to EA if you use the data provided by event viewer. The clear source of all these errors across many games is EA. UN-**snip*_Deniable. (CM: Edited to remove profanity. Please keep our forum rules in mind when engaging on the forums)
Party issue
Hi so me and my friends encountered a strange big yesterday. One friend plays from steam, and another plays from ps5. When I invite my PC friend, he has to join my party from Steam rather than in-game. My friend on console however could not join at all. Keeps clicking the invite I send him in-game but nothing happens. So I tried joining his party, but my name is completely invisible 🫥 Anyone come across this before??Recurring notification/ping sound
While in a match playing or changing my loadout, I hear a recurring bell notification/ping sound several times per minute (sometimes every 10 seconds). It doesn’t seem to be a player pinging a location or an opponent it’s just a random sound that pops up in game. It’s almost making the game unplayable, has anyone else experienced this? If so what can I do to fix the problem? Cheers 👍1.ExitType 111 Invalid Image Hash 2. Failed to obtain Origin directory
Battlefield 2042 does not launch on PC due to EA AntiCheat kernel driver failing to load. The game shows the splash screen, EA AntiCheat service starts briefly, then crashes and stops. Windows Event Viewer reports: - EAAntiCheatService ExitType: 111 - Service Control Manager Event ID 7023 - STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_HASH (%%4294901871) This is NOT a standard configuration issue. Secure Boot, TPM/fTPM, SVM, VBS, Core Isolation and Hyper-V have all been tested ON and OFF. Windows 11 is clean installed, BIOS and all drivers are up to date. Hardware: - AMD Ryzen 9 9600X (Zen 5) - Gigabyte B850M AORUS ELITE WIFI6E ICE (BIOS F7) - 64 GB DDR5 - RTX 2070 Super This appears to be an EA AntiCheat driver signature / Secure Boot CA compatibility issue. Please escalate this case to the EA AntiCheat engineering team. Before the EA AntiCheat service crashes with ExitType 111, the following error is logged: "EAAntiCheatService – Failed to obtain Origin directory" This happens during game launch while the splash screen is visible. The EA AntiCheat service starts, then immediately stops. EA App is installed cleanly in the default directory: C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\ Origin is not installed and no Origin registry entries remain. This indicates EA AntiCheat is failing to correctly detect the EA App installation path before the kernel driver load phase.
Twitch drops not showing up after claiming
my twitch acount is linked up and i did all the necessary steps to be able to collect my twitch drops but after claiming all 4 of them on twitch i only recieved 3 drops in my game. i am missing the first one wich was my favourite one . Feeling very sad about this :(Re: Headshot Crosshair color change does not work for me [VIDEO]
Doesn't work for me, didn't change any settings before the update and it just went to default hit shot colour. Tried changing everything so unless it's a new thing that the Firing Range doesn't display the difference it's something else that's broken
PC Battlefield 2042 controls Not working FIX
Ok so its happened different times and their may be different things that cause it, i think it is a bug that EA needs to work on and fix. But going into a game I had no control of my character, and if i moved either the keyboard or mouse it had like a 10 sec lag and sometimes just started shooting all by itself contiously. Really sucks! I was trying everything and found a post here on EA a guy talking about a free software called hidhide., It simply shows other game controls you have have connected, Mine was my Logitech g923 steering wheel. Selecting it to be disabled before starting my game Allowed me to play fine with no issues. When I enable it again my wheel works fine but it conflicts with the game and my character freezes. Some have posted different types of controllers and some even software they think are causing the problem and some tell you to edit configuration files etc. Mine was as simple as finding the conflict and disabling it before playing. HidHide helped me do that. Thanks for the find. I actually tried disconnecting everything and it still did not work. HidHide disables it from inside somehow. It works. God Speed and Fun Gaming. Keep it Real! its Just a Game!!!2042 not opening
I have been trying for two days to get 2042 to launch and am out of ideas. Keep getting “we’ve noticed your computer is offline. To activate game on computer using ea account you must be connected to internet” error message. Yes internet is working and my ea subscription is active, everything is updated, already deleted and re downloaded both apps
