Re: [FIXED] BF2042 Steam - Season 6 Patch Stuck on 'Validating Game Files'

@hambaci_kuranger Same problem. I manually restored EA app from the link above, infinite Steam validation stopped, the game started to run, EA App minimizes, a splash screen appears with a picture of season 6 (similar to be Easy Anticheat in previous seasons) then nothing happens, EA App turns back and game don't launch.

    Hi @dragonserp,

    The problem you're facing doesn't seem to be related to the BF2042 Season 6 Patch on Steam (PC) getting stuck on validating game files. It sounds like a different issue, to be fair, like the common "unable to launch game" problem. To fix it, you can try verifying the game files through Steam or the EA app, clearing the EA app cache, or running Steam/EA app/the game as Administrator.

    If you need further help with your specific problem, it might be best to start a new thread and explain the issue there. That way, it can be addressed separately.

    Thanks.

  • I'm using EA app for BF42. 
    Recovery - doesn't work.
    Uninstall/Install - doesn't work.

    Stuck on "Preparing" 14%.

  • I have the exact same problem after doing the fix for validating files on steam and did all the repair EAapp stuff, it just won't start even after reinstalling the app and the game itself.

    Hi it isn't a different issue as my game played fine last night then the update now it wont load ...dont try to blame other issues on a shoddy game update ..stand up and admit that its a EA problem
  • I'm honestly so sick and tired of this EA App garbage. This is probably my first complaint in years or ever. I had downloaded the BF 2042 Season 6 update from the EA App itself and guess what? Your app keeps putting my game on an update loop EVERY SINGLE TIME. So frustrating. I've been trying to fix for hours but I KNOW it's your app fault. I did everything, clear cache blah blah blah and nothing. Uninstalled app etc and nothing works. It just keeps redownloading the update over and over. Origin was by far a better experience but then you force everyone to use this EA app. And secondly, I bought NFS Heat through Steam and linked my EA account and that too doesn't work. What a frustrating experience.
