3 files failed to validate

This keeps happening..
My game lags. I get these freeze lags at a minimum of every 1 seconds all the way to about 6 seconds in between. I close the game. Clear Steam download cache, validate my files that ALWAYS fails with 3 files. Sometimes it works after but today I've had nothing but lags everytime I start a game. It's pissing me off since I can't seem to find a permanent solution so I can just enjoy the game.

Running the game on:
CPU: Ryzen 7 5800
GPU: Radeon RX 9060 XT
RAM: 32 GB 
Harddrive: 2 TB M2 with 1,3 TB free space.

  • Hi TAVILION​
    Sorry to hear you're having a problem. 
    Could you send a DxDiag file so we can find some clues based on the errors it contains.

    Press the Windows and R keys at the same time.
    Type DxDiag in the window that appears, then click Save all information and save the file wherever you want.
    Then drag and drop the file here, then click Share - add the .txt file as an attachment.

    Thank you 😄

    Yes, EA writes amazing AntiCheat software that corrupts itself over and over each time you play the game.... they make it so you can't play the game to ensure there is no cheating.  I've tried every single trick and once in a blue moon the game starts but mostly just fails.  I've even reimaged my computer and literally only had BF2042 playing and it blue screens.  They have horrible developers.
