BF2042 activation?
I bought Battlefield 2042 on Steam but when I try to launch it I get an EA pop up asking me to activate the game. I spoke to someone on the EA Support Chat and they were incredibly unhelpful. They t...
Maybe someone will still need this and I think i found the solution. Before asking me for activation the game wasn't turning on so I played a bit with admin permissions and after a bit I realised that this activatiion prompt only happened when either the bf 2042 or anti cheat launcher were set to run as admin and the EA app was not. Thue game still doesn't turn on, but at least this little problem was solved for me.
Okay, today I also changed nvidia drivers from game ready to studio and that also caused a problem, so try changing them if the problem still persists.
TL;DR: try making sure every app involed in opening the game (bf 2042; anti cheat; EA app) are on the same admin level (either all are run as adimn or none of them) and that you have nvidia game ready drivers installed
