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.

Error/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_Romania7 days agoSeasoned Novice3.3KViews2likes36CommentsNo add to friends button
I play on PC and my friend on PlayStation 5. In the search for players by nickname, we can find each other, but only the "report" and "block" buttons are available. At the same time, we can log in to the same game (if we start searching for a match at the same time). Has anyone ever encountered such a problem? And how to solve it?Solved72Views1like2CommentsLags Since Battle Pass Ended
Hello everyone, the situation is as in the title. I would like to explain the situation a little more. Since the Battle Pass ended, there have been constant lags. Although there is no ping on my internet, every time I enter the game, the lags do not go away. I connect from Turkiye/Bursa. But I did not have any problems until 3-4 weeks ago. I don't experience any lag like this in other games. Today, the game completely froze twice and kicked me out. I think this is another problem. I would be happy if anyone with knowledge on the subject could help. Related images are attachedSolvedcan16112 days agoSeasoned Novice122Views0likes13Comments
Wrongful Battlefield 2042 Ban – Request for Escalation and Details
Hello, My Battlefield 2042 account (EA ID: ReNimaG) was permanently banned on April 29, 2025 at 11:03 PM, but I have never used any cheats, hacks, or third-party software. I have always played fairly and respected EA’s Terms of Service. I contacted support, but the response was vague and did not include any clear reason, evidence, or specific explanation for the ban. I was simply told that my account was "involved in cheating," which I strongly contest. I respectfully request that: 1. My case be escalated and thoroughly re-reviewed. 2. I receive concrete details about the alleged violation. 3. The ban be lifted if no valid evidence exists. I am available to cooperate in any way necessary. I only want to recover my access to the game and clear this misunderstanding. Thank you in advance.

Dear EA/DICE Team, The latest update has caused severe issues preventing many players from accessing online matches in the Battlefield series, including BF1, BF5, and especially BF2042. In BF2042, the game freezes completely during the loading screen, forcing a full system restart. Even after rebooting, the issue persists upon relaunching the game. I have exhausted multiple troubleshooting steps without success, including: Verifying game file integrity Reinstalling the game Using the official repair tool from the website Disabling firewall and antivirus software Uninstalling and reinstalling the EA Anti-Cheat (EAAC) Running the EAAntiCheat.Installer to repair and update BF2042 components Updating GPU drivers Reinstalling/updating the OS None of these resolved the problem. Based on reports from other affected players, the issue may stem from a bug in the updated anti-cheat system, causing sudden memory spikes that crash the system. We urge you to investigate and address this critical issue promptly. Many of us are eager to return to Battlefield’s online multiplayer experience. Additionally, I sincerely hope that my account will not be penalized for reporting this issue—my intention is only to help improve the game. Thank you for your understanding and support.Solved
[PC][Steam][8.7.0] PvE Dead Space Event Empties Laptop Battery in an instant !!
Hello over there, since todays BF2042 Update v8.7.0, by the PvE Dead Space Event BF2042 has emptied my high-end laptop's battery charge even while being plugged in to a power source within minutes . . . !! After 20 minutes of being inside the PvE DS event with other players, BF2042 ate up 55% of Battery. From healthy 75% down to 20%, while even being plugged in as mentioned. Of course I had not noticed the emptying battery charge until my laptop gone below 25%, caused power savings method and 20 fps in-game. My Battery has gone hot, and still is during charging up again. This is a very unusual behaviour, something broke BF2042 in this case to use this heavy amount of energy!! CPU and GPU Temperatures are still nominal.SolvedN3tRunn3r16 days agoRising Adventurer65Views0likes6Comments
Constantly taking flare damage bug
I've been getting a bug for past week where I constantly take flare damage untill I die each time I respawn. Idk what triggers it but it seems if I get hit by a flair one time it triggers it and I have to restart my game. If anyone knows any solutions I would really appreciate it, been playing the game for years and it's making it unplayable. The bug only started when I merged my EA and Steam account and downloaded it again off Steam so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.Solvedbluehound_4420 days agoSeasoned Newcomer30Views0likes3Comments

Outside the suggestion to run the AMD cleanup tool (which has bricked my computer once so I refuse to run it again) has EA worked on solving the issue with their launcher not recognizing newer gfx cards? I ran into a similar issue with Red Dead Redemption 2 and the Rockstar support was very helpful and resolved the issue by adding a few lines to the games .ini file. Apart from that game I have had no issues with my setup in any other games than the EA launcher ones.Solved55417bed4fa074272 months agoNew Rookie98Views0likes8CommentsPortal Saying no servers found

Camera Glitch Reproducable in BF 2042 COOP
I am able to reproduce this glitch by just ramming a jet into the ground. Have to share an X video as I can't upload videos here (well below 75 MB). It even shows the exact point of the glitch happening at 30% speed. Please upvote for DICE to see this. Thank you so much! Please forward to your dev team as I can't find a support function or anywhere to send a bug report in. Should be easy to reproduce and at least find a workaround as described via console command etc. Thank you very much. Love your game otherwise! https://x.com/1TrillionUSDoge/status/1906992553167303016SolvedLightningsou72 months agoSeasoned Novice49Views1like5Comments
