An EA AntiCheat Error is preventing Battlefield 2042 from opening (Pictures Attached). The game was working as expected a few days ago when I last played it. I have performed a clean install of Windows 11 with no luck. I have repaired the game, updated EA AntiCheat as well as reinstalled both Battlefield 2042 and the EA app with no success. I have the game through Game Pass and the Xbox App Services are running in the background, so that should not be the issue.

    I did not get around to completing the steps of solution 8 as you suggested. Interestingly enough, I did get the game working in an odd way. I downloaded Battlefield 5 to see if I experienced the same issue and was prompted to install EA Anticheat. Upon Installing the game as well as the anticheat, I ran Battlefield 5 without errors, and then I decided to try 2042 once again and it worked. I do not know if downloading the anticheat as prompted with Battlefield 5 is the actual cause for 2042 to start working again, but it seems that way.
