Hey mate, I managed to fix it (Or atleast patch it) by literally disabling my Sata controller in my bios every time I want to play 2042 (Unplugging sata drives worked as well). Its a massive pain in the arse but it does seem to work.
Ill go back and update my old posts as at the time I was too pissed off to actually go back to them and update it.
Hopefully this works for you as well mate, Its utterly ridiculous that this sort of issue even exists in 2042, an issue that's been around since launch at that.
you sir are a legend.
I wasn't really too bothered to get round to fixing that array, turns out the twin drives, one stuck in RAID the other in AHCI was being picked up by EAC as a potentially cheat injection method.
You have single handedly saved me a world of headache, it would've been months before i ran low on hard disk and needed to reconfigure those drives.
So, Update for how i fixed my broken ahh computer.
If you're coming from an older system and have collapsed or non-formatted disks installed that aren't in use, remove them or reformat them for the installation you currently have. the data is likely already gone for good anyways, if not obtain another drive of equal capacity and attempt to recover what you will, then format the old drives (this is what i had initially done before upgrading from my intel z170 rig to my AMD AM5 rig, thankfully saved 4tb of data, ended up losing 1tb to a dodgy installation of windows on an MBR m.2 SSD cause i am a colossal *)
after erasing all remnants of my old RAID array and formatting the drives, lo and behold! not only is 2042 alive, but a whole bunch of other games i thought i'd simply lost to the void due to new pc teething issues.
