Re: Game won't start after anti-cheat loading
I solved the problem with BF/EAC not starting differently from Accepted Solution for this post.
Sharing just in case it may help somebody else.
In DxDiag, I noticed that the app at fault is nvcontainer.exe.
It turned out to be NVidia Container from NVidia Control Panel.
When I tried to open it, it was not responding, so I uninstalled it and re-installed it from Microsoft App Store.
And... it fixed the problem, and I can play BF2042!
