Battlefield 2042 wont start

My battlefield 2042 just died and I don't know why!

When I try to start the game, it shows a black window and freezes. (see attached file)

Sometimes it just close back to EA App.

What i've tried:

 - Change compatibility to Windows 8

 - Change to admin mode

 - Uninstall and install the game

 - Close another game apps like: steam, epic or ubisoft

I don't know what to do now!

I need help.

  • @E1994K did ya try to repair/verify game files.
    Do you see EAC screen when luanching game ?
    Post your dxdiag please !
  • Windows 8 does not support DX12, so this won't work. 

    A dxdiag file would help. 

    One thing that you could also try is to rename the shader cache folder located here: C:\Users\%user%\Documents\Battlefield 2042\cache
    Rename it to something like "cache_backup" and try to restart the game. Does that work?

  • My game will not even start, I see the Easy-Anti cheat screen and there it stops. When I go into Origin, all the features are unavailable. I can chose "Remove from Favorites" and "Hide", all the other options are greyed out.
