Battlefield 2042 wont start (DiscSoftLtd)

Hey there BatSimoBeibi​ 

Sorry to hear you're running into this issue. A workaround for this was found in this thread here

Can you check to see if you have "Daemon tools" installed? If so try uninstalling Daemon tools and see if that resolves the problem.

have same problem and this solution does not work and i have no Discsoftltf programs on this pc

Hey so it seems like alot of people are having this issue and dont have anything called DiscSoftLTD or from DiscSoftLTD. However, Daemon Tools publishes DiscSoftLTD and... ReWASD. The workaround is that your anticheat forcing your users to delete a controller mapping software that is well known just to play your game? This cannot be the "solution" you think the player are gonna have to use... Can whoever works on the anticheat please for the love of god and everything that is holy fix this.  I would hate to have to put this game on the shelf forever.

Error caused by 84 Disc Soft LTD security breach at the launch of Battlefield 2042  
And how to fix it now?   😆

hooray, it worked, try to remove this Daemon Tools from yourself.... and after that, I started the BF2042 without any problems.  😄

Hi AstroJVon,

Using reWASD is not allowed under the EA anti-cheat as it can be used to gain an unfair advantage. Sorry, but you'll have to use an alternative such as Steam overlay for button mapping.  

I have the same problem. Deinstalltion doesn't work. So please give a real solution. This link for deinstalltion of DiscSoft Software isen't any solution!!!

IT WORK...after i delete some DemonTools Leftovers in the device manger. look into it coz after deinstalltion it will be stay THIS SOLUTION IS WORKING
