Hello! I've recently Pre-Ordered Battlefield 2042: Gold Edition Last Friday once I got home from school! After waiting a bit and hearing that anyone with the Gold Edition would be able to play today I decided to hop on and begin playing but there was an Issue! As soon as I pressed play and waited for Easy Anti Cheat to do it's thing it doesn't do anything! I noticed that while Easy Anti Cheat was loading it appeared a second time and it showed me that another launcher was already boot up and it still didn't do anything! Can someone please help me on this? I'd be thankful.


a lot of people had this problem.

Same with me.

I can tell you roughly the steps, but if you want you can follow this link and follow every step @The_Tibber  suggested: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Game-won-t-start-after-anti-cheat-loading/m-p/10968250#M4164

These are the following step I took:

1- run Battlefield, origin and anti-cheat as admin

2- delete every cache in the AppData "origin" file(leaving only the "local" folder)

3- uninstall EA app (it had some conflict with origin)

4- allow origin, Battlefield and anti-cheat in firewall

6-

       Okay, lets do a OS file check:

        Right click your windows icon and open command prompt (admin)

       Type in:

dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

      Then hit enter, once done do the same for:

sfc /scannow

    Once done restart your PC and check windows updates.

    If the scans fail let me know.

5- uninstall Origin and Battlefield

5.5- restart PC

7- install origin and download battlefield.

8- end of your sufferance

this may not help everyone but it did work for me.
