Battlefield 2042 doesn't launch (Steam and EA)
The game was bought with steam and used to be launched with steam normally.
The problem occurred yesterday. I was playing normal and quit the game normal. Next time i tried to launch the game, it didn't work.
I wasn't installing, uninstalling or updating anything. I wasn't even restarting my PC. The game just stopped to launch.
What have I tried so far:
- Verifying and repairing filed with steam;
- Reinstalling the game with steam;
- Reinstalling EasyAntiCheat;
- Reinstalling EA App;
- Setting a check for running with admin rights for EADesktop.exe, BF2024.exe, EABackgroundService.exe;
- Adding Electronic Arts and Battlefield 2024 directories to Windows Defender exceptions;
- Clear EA App caches;
- Updating Nvidia Driver to the latest version 546.65;
- Updating Windows 11 to the latest version: 23H2.
Nothing worked for me so far.
The problem was in the КриптоПро (Crypto Pro) Application which is used for digital signature encryption. I have no idea how it is related, but right after deinstallation and reboot i was able to launch the game instantly. It is also weird, because Crypto Pro was installed alongside with battlefield almost a year without any changes to crypto Pro or battlefield configuration. Anyway, maybe this will help someone. Cheers!
