    This work for me
    1. Copied files from Origin install location to another folder
    2. Uninstalled BF2042 from Origin app

    3. Closed Origin with Task Manager

    4. Installed BF with the EA App (Using the path I copied the game files too; didn't have to re-download the game)

    5. Launched with EA app


    It launched with no issue.

    Hope this works for others <3

2 Days ago, BF2042 won't launch after EAC.

Annoying thing is that EAC doesn't show any Error Message.

I tried Everything, but nothing helped me.

1) check/update BF2042 game files

2) repair EAC with EasyAntiCheat_Setup (Run as Administrator)

3) Run as Administrator for Origin and BF2042

4) reinstall DirectX, Visual C++

5) Downgrade Nvidia Driver

6) Turn off Overclock (AMD PBO, RAM)

7) Remove Asus LED program

8) cmd DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth  ~~~

9) Turn off Windows Defender

10) Change Origin to EA App open beta.

11) Update Window 10 21H1 to 21H2

12) Clean install Windows 11, and just install Origin and BF2042.

Windows 10 Education 21H1 (19043.1348) -> 21H2 (19044.1348)

Windows 11 Education (22000.318)

Nvidia Driver (496.76)

I went through all of these same steps except the update to windows 11. I just got the game to launch by going into Settings -> Network and Internet -> Properties (under ethernet for me)  -> switched the network profile to private instead of public. I dont know why it switched to public and didnt even notice it did until checking the firewall settings for the 10th time. 

with the network profile set back to private the game is launching normally.
