    @HerculesSV The bug now seems to be resolved by an update from EA.

@Rokebo73

According to the event information "ucrtbase.dll" crashed and "EALaunchHelper.exe" called the DLL file.

@HerculesSV  ah ok, ya need to repair/install or update Microsoft Visual C++

The ucrtbased dll file is a software component of Microsoft Visual C++ that is an IDE developed by Microsoft. It is a legitimate Windows file and dynamic link library file that doesn’t cause any threat to your computer. That is to say, if you install an application or program that requires the Microsoft Visual C++ packages, you may find the ucrtbase.dll file inside the installation folder.

Browse to the folder: Battlefield 2042\__Installer\vc\vc2015\redist
in this folder are 2 files, install them AS AN ADMINISTRATOR (or repair if its installed already)
Reboot system and test game !!!

Cheers

    I can't run the install or repair because I have a later versions installed. Unfortunately I don't know which file to download to repair. Maybe if I uninstall the latest called 2015-2022.

    @Rokebo73 I don't have a problem installing. I checked all the services and they are running. Over the weekend I also updraded the graphics card so I made a clean install of new drivers.

    I followed all the advice.

    Here's the recording. The file is a zip file. There's a windows opening before crash. It wasn't always like this. I think it's the first time happening.
