Thank you for the fast reply!
Yes, I have attempted to overclock my CPU before, but it is currently not overclocked.
What issues are you referring to with Nvidia and how do I repair it?
Thank you!
check your windows health:
SFC - Windows Health Check
Press Windows key + 'R' ,typ CMD
Press and hold down CTRL + SHIFT and press ENTER.
When User Account Control shows up, click Yes.
Use the following command lines, pressing Enter after each
(make sure you wait till each of the commands is executed properly):
sfc /scannow
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Reboot your system
you both did try a cleanboot ?
Cleanboot / Msconfig
reboot pc by a clean boot:

Hide all Microsoft services, DISABLE (uncheck) ALL other processes, apps and services !
Cleanboot is just a one time clean boot ! Next reboot all will be reset and a normal boot will be occure.
Use msconfig to disable apps permanent each for new reboot.

Those disabled apps will no longer boot with Windows , till ya set them enabled again !
Reboot system !
Now test game and update us please !
Hi!
Quick update:
Nothing has changed. I've tried doing all the scans you instructed me to do, and some corrupted files were actually discovered and repaired. However, before I go through the effort of doing this clean boot thing, how likely is it that a rogue background program really is the root of my issue? I tried closing a ton of background programs, rolling back my nvidia driver, and nothing. I also forgot to mention this earlier but this issue also prevents me from even getting into solo games. Is Battlefield 2042 so poorly optimized that one background program is literally restricting me from playing any part of the game whatsoever, or is it more likely that Battlefield 2042 is at fault here? Also for the sake of context, I have tons of other games and I have NEVER had an issue like this with any of them. I frequently play Valorant and it works perfectly.
To summarize, is it really worth my time to go through this clean boot process and test individual background applications one by one to potentially find a culprit, or is that just you giving advice on a whim without any real idea what could be causing this?
Thank you!

@430_Matthewd, well, yes, if you want to find the possible cause of the issue. 🙂 PC troubleshooting unfortunately can take quite the effort sometimes if the cause of the issue isn't 100% clear immediately.
Hi again!
Quick update:
My issue was solved. I am a college student and I recently returned home with my PC for break. Magically, Battlefield 2042 works now. I am forced to believe that the reason it wasn't working is because it is blocked on my college's WiFi. This should NOT have been the case because my PC is registered on their gaming network AND I play with an ethernet cable 24/7. The WiFi is extremely powerful and does not conflict with any other games this way.
Regardless, thank you all for the help!
I have had no success with anything suggested, have even done a complete wipe and new install of windows. my home network is a new 5g one and every single game i play works fine, bf2042 is the only game that breaks.
Community Manageri believe so
