When I try launching Battlefield 2042 it just opens an empty window, even the name disappears after a few seconds. I have tried so many things to fix the issue but nothing seems to work. I've reinstalled the game twice, updated the graphics drivers and tried most things mentioned on this this post

@coobicle OMG, now I got it working. I went to my documents folder, deleted everything, repaired via EA app and now it opens

@Hyljee Hello, Try to reinstall the game, I had the same issue and reinstalling the game solved the issue. But you can also Repair the game, If you have on Origin or Steam.

@Hyljee Hello! Sorry to hear that, please read me new post may be this one can help! https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Battlefield-2024-Black-Screen-amp-Freeze-at-Stand-By-Screen/m-p/11772814#M30133

Since you cannot enter the game, you have to change the resolution manually.

Hey, @Hyljee can you try a clean boot to see if any programs are messing with Battlefield 2042 and turn off any overlay programs, such as Discord or Nvidia experience.

Can you add a Dxdiag so we can see what hardware and drivers you have?

Let me know if this works or not for you. 🙂

@EA_AticHi! I added the Dxdiag on the original post. Clean boot doesn't have any effect on the problem.

Hi @Hyljee, Thanks!

Could you try to run Origin and BF 2042 as admin and see if that helps.

@EA_Atic Hello! I tried that but it didn't work. I've tried pretty much everything on every guide I've found on the internet. For example updated the graphics drivers, reinstalled everything, repaired the files, disabled antivirus and firewalls, updated windows and tried compatibility mode.

@Hyljee can you try to clear the Origin cache and see if that helps.
