Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield V wont launch

i am having the same problem

and dont bother with reaching out to EA help - they mouth a lot of words but no fixes

trust me - as a veteran gamer, i have tried everything they said and nothing...

@xXAnonymous16Xxxdo you got any other game installed that uses EAC ? When a other game also uses EAC , its possible this EAC isnt updated and could issue with bf2042!

Try to update EAC thats running by other game(s) , or even move/copy files from updated EAC to folder with old EAC !

I have tried running the EAC repair service on all games, still same issue

@xXAnonymous16Xxxtry something as revo uninstaller or geek, to uninstall this eac software, they offer als a regisstry scan in this ,so you could delete any reg.key related to this software.
Reboot and use bf2042 to install a clean eac by bf2042.

Do not worry, they will not fix it - i promise

i have been complaining about the EAC since game launch and that has been months and it is still not fixed

@xXAnonymous16XxxRun this EasyAntiCheat_Setup as een admin ! And if ya start Origin <-- also as ADMIN ! (do not startup Origin during Windows Boot/Startup !

Tried contacting EAC but no response. Other games with EAC work but nothing that is Origin/EA works

@xXAnonymous16Xxxhmm ok , lets check if we can fix this EAC ! Make sure Origin is not booting with windows, close origin fully.
