Battlefield 2042 crashing on startup

Hey, I've had the same issue and after formatting my 2 hard drives/reinstalling windows, buying a new SSD and installing on that one, I FINALLY found out what was happening. It would get to "connecting to servers" & it would just stutter for a second and close without any message or notifications. I did everything the forums said to do, watched Youtube vids and NOTHING worked. So, after I reinstalled it on the new hardware & formatted the PC/reinstalled Windows, I tried launching it and the EXACT spot where it crashed on me, a message popped up asking if the game can go through my firewall. I don't know why it wasn't popping up before, but that was 100% the issue. I posted a photo of a SAMPLE of what it looked like. P.S I know this was a bit extreme but I like any excuse for a fresh start on a PC :D.
