Battlefield 2042 Crashes after anticheat launcher

I need massive help. I have contacted ea 3 different times along with googling for hours to no progress. When I open the game through ea desktop, the easy anticheat launcher loads all the way, then it pops up a black window for a few seconds until that black window freezes and then the game crashes. I have tried reinstalling, installing through origin, opening with admin, reinstalling my GPU drives, logging in through a different  admin account on windows, removing all my other running applications and plenty more and nothing is working. I've dedicated over 5 hours just to try and fix this. What's the issue?

    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

    I’ve also done those steps and yet nothing. We’ve had zero response from EA on this.

    I have no idea if this solution will work for you but I spent hours and hours trying to get this to work. 

    1) Uninstall BF2042 from Origin - Seems to be an issue with this game and the launcher

    2) Install the EA App (EA Play Launcher Beta - Red Circle with EA Logo) 

    3) Sign into your EA Account through the EA App

    4)| Ensure that your Origin app is closed entirely (not running in background) 
    5) Install BF2042 through the EA App and Launch from there as well

    I apologise if this doesn't fix your issue but I've had this exact issue and decided to give this a shot and I'm now playing it. 
    Best of luck

    @GRIlIZZLY Sorry to hear that. It seems as though we had the same situation and followed the same steps. I didn’t do anything else.
