    OK, so it's fixed, don't know what fixed it, all I did was update windows because my auto update was going to restart my computer. Long story short it works now

    Do you have any overlays enabled in MSI Afterburner, Discord, or Steam? If so try disabling the overlay setting on those apps.

    EA Anti-cheat will close the game if it detects any overlays because it thinks they're cheats.

    Also try launching the game as administrator by right clicking on the Battlefield 2042 desktop icon.

        Here's how to disable the Xbox Game Bar in Windows.

        Open Windows Settings, click "Gaming," then click the "Enable Game Bar" switch to the "Off" position to disable the Game Bar completely.

        MSI Afterburner is a video card overclocking app which can also overlay performance info such as CPU usage.
