BF2042 Black Screen & Return to Menu After Update (Solo/TDM Work)

After the latest Battlefield 2042 update, I started having a strange problem on PC.

 

When I try to join large multiplayer modes like Conquest 64/128, the map starts loading, then the screen freezes for a few seconds and the game sends me back to the main menu without any error message.

 

Important details:

 

- Solo/Co-op works perfectly

- Team Deathmatch multiplayer works

- I can also join some servers through the server browser

- The problem mostly happens on large Conquest matches/maps

- Before today's update everything worked perfectly

- The game runs very well on Ultra settings, often above 180 FPS, but I manually capped it to 100 FPS

- Temperatures are normal

- Other games work normally

- No BSOD, no GPU crashes, no overheating

 

What I already tried:

 

- Reinstalled EA Anti Cheat

- Verified game files

- Disabled overlays

- Restarted PC

- Cleared cache

- Tested low graphics settings

 

System:

 

- ASUS TUF A16

- RTX 4050 Laptop GPU

- 16 GB RAM

- Windows 11

 

Is anyone else experiencing this after the latest update?

    Same problem, here for about a week now ever since the limited time mode King of The Hill was live. I can play TDM but nothing else.

    Tried all the usual fixes. EA App Recovery worked once then the problem was back again. I performed all the fixes you did except low graphics settings. It's clearly something EA/DICE have created and I'm sick and tired of messing about looking for fixes. And they emailed me asking why I wasn't buying BF6!  LOL! My advice to anyone reading this is to never pay more than £5 for any EA/DICE game - that is a policy I stick to.

    Same for me yesterday.
    Today team deatchmatch also got this issue.
    Now the only thing I can play is custom games through the portal.
    My windows 11 is just reinstalled from scratch and the game installed fresh from Steam.

    I contacted EA and they said when they have finished counting their money they will fix it.  Estimated date of fix some time in 2056.

    But it's ok because I have earned a new rank in the EA forums! Wow.. thanks so much  EA!!  I mean who wants to play your **bleep** **bleep** games anyway!

    That was 17 days ago and **bleep** all has been done. In the meantime this issue has spread to nearly all game modes. So what was the f point of your post. That was a rhetorical question. Answer: 'To show EA were aware of this issue 17 days ago and have done SFA about it.'
