Battlefield 2042 Launch Error

Every time I launch BF 2042 from steam where I own the game it. The EA app gives me this error message: "We've noticed your computer is currently offline. To activate your game on this computer using your EA Account, you'll need to connect to the internet. " I am not sure what to do nothing seems to fix this issue. I own the game and I am connected to the internet. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Was hoping to play some more battlefield leading up to the BF 6 release. I have added a screenshot of what the error message looks like after I launch the game.

    Ok I tried that. I still get the same error message when I just launched the game. Also not all of those commands worked only some of them worked. Any other ideas? This is very strange. I now get the same error message when I try to launch BF 5 as well. BF 6 beta worked perfectly fine. Maybe because that one is launching only from steam? Games that seem to need to launch through EA app are the only games on my computer that do not launch.

    Can you try this :
    1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator:
      • Press Windows + R, type "cmd".
    2. Run the following commands:
      Copy and paste each command, pressing Enter after each line:
      netsh winsock
      reset netsh
      int ip reset
      netsh advfirewall reset
      netsh winhttp
      reset proxy
      ipconfig /release
      ipconfig /flushdns
    3. Power cycle your devices:
      • Shut down your PC completely.
      • Unplug the power cables from both your PC and your modem/router for about 2 minute.
    4. Restart your devices:
      • Plug in the modem/router and wait until it’s fully online.
      • Plug in your PC and boot it up.


    After all that check if the problem is solved.
    Let me know !😊

    I tried that and I still get the same error message.

    Its very weird to me because I could run BF6 Beta no problem and I can run BF 5 no problem so what's wrong with BF 2042?

    - At the bottom, click Advanced network settings OR just scroll down and you can see Network reset (it's depend window version)
    - Click Network reset
    - Click Reset now

  • Hello Steeve_BF. I tried doing what you suggested and I still get the same error message. When I launch BF 2042.

  • Hey there,

    This error can usually be fixed by clearing the temp files and deleting the license folder: 

    - Delete EA License Files: Make sure the EA app is closed.
    - Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
    - Type or copy and paste "%ProgramData%\Electronic Arts\EA Services" (without the quotes) into the new Window > ENTER
    - Delete all files in the "License" folder. (image)

     

     Please clear your temp files: 

    - Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time 
    - Into the new window, type or copy & paste: "%temp%" (Without the quotes.) > hit "ENTER" 
    - Your Windows Explorer should have brought you to the "C:\Users>your user name<\AppData\Local\Temp" folder. > Delete all files and folders in it. (If some files or folders can't be deleted, reboot and try again.)

    Let me know ! 😃
