Re: [PC][Steam] Error 10011 - (Failed to start the game (2))

@EA_Leeuw Just moved the game back to C: and it worked fine. However, even when the game is on C: it behaves strangely.

For example, I have AIDA64 running in the background to monitor my system. Whenever BF42 launches, it stops updating all the counters (CPU, GPU temp etc.) when I quit the game sometimes it starts working again sometimes it remains frozen. If it's frozen after a few minutes the whole Windows crashes and I have to restart. 

I've reinstalled the entire BF42 at least 3 times so far on both drivers X: and C: It mostly works when installed on C: almost never works from X: 

When I move the gathe me around I get id_pc_corrupt_save_body error. When I get this, I have to delete the BF2042 profile from my documents and have to go through the entire "intro" of the game and set up my keybinds etc.

@aelthain, cheers for the info, but I would like to go back to the main issue of this topic: the EAC "Failed to start the game ( 2 )" error. 🙂

Will you maybe be able to give it a few more tries during the day and maybe tomorrow, to see if the situation changes and if error returns or not? I would really appreciate it.

Sure, moved the game back to X: and this is what I got. At least when I get this the game actually exits gracefully and I don't have to restart Windows. 

@aelthain, @samyhd I would like to request to stop continuously moving the game from drive A to drive B etc. This can cause issues as well if you continuously move files around, especially if you don't repair the files afterwards or perform a clean install of the game on the other drive. The most important thing right now is that we're trying to figure out if the main issue has solved itself when the game and either Steam, Origin, EA app etc. is installed on the same drive (Windows drive), as this seems to be the root cause of the issue; that the game and launcher are installed on different drives.

So for you, @samyhd, I would also recommend installing the game on the same drive as where you have your launcher installed on (the Windows drive is most common), and see if this also solves the issue for you.

What I would also like to point out is that if you own multiple copies of the same game, via Steam and via Origin/EA app, for example, it's best to install only one copy.

If this indeed seems to be the cause of the issue, it's best to create a ticket for the EAC teams so they are aware of the issue: https://www.easy.ac/en-us/support/game/contact/tech/.

Hi, I have the same issue and also followed the steps you have taken...Still does not work..so frustrating.

@EA_Leeuw Hi, yes ive done all this

BF2042.exe and BF2042_launcher.exe were changed to run as administrator
- Reinstalled the game via STEAM
- Reinstalled / Repaired EAC (EasyAntiCheat) 
- Allowed Origin to run as administrator
- Updated Windows and GPU driver to the latest of the latest updates.
- I've set EasyAntiCheat to run Automatically from Windows Services.

I get the same symtoms as others just not seen an error code. After the black screen loader it just drops back to the Origin screen

@OLDMozza666, hmm, alright. In that case, I think it would be better to create a ticket for EAC so they can take a look into the issue that you're having.

Hey everyone,

I have been having the exact same problem as you described it: 2 days of EAC error 10011 with no fix working for me.

The EAC splash logo came on, blue bar filled up fast or slow depending if I tried to fix game 609, with a one second freeze at the end.

The game failed to launch about 80% of the time and once in a full moon it launched without bricking my pc.

I have done everything that could have been a possible solution, from graph driver rollback to reinstalling C++ and all that stuff.

My steam and Battlefield game were on the same drive so I haven't moved it elsewhere. Reïnstalled the game twice to no avail. 

My conclusion: it's a problem from EAC server side.

Now this evening I tried to launch the game and it succeeded first try. Could they have fixed the issue?

I'd like to hear your feedback.

Kind regards.

EDIT: Nope still getting error 10011. Guess first time I was lucky...

@samyhd its the EAC black screen that it crashes from, does not reach the BF screen at all.tried again this morning, still the same.

this is the sequence of screens i get. each one about 10seconds.
