I understand your concern, that's the main reason I've taken the time to test every single setting (which opened up security big time for BF2042) to narrow it down to this option. I've also removed the different settings from the image for that reason.

Check if you are getting  EXCEPTION_CODE_STR: c0000005 in the dumpfile. This might point to a memory violation caused by presumely the anti-cheat (since I havent had this issue before the latest BF update).

Disabling above option might be your only fix in that case (for now). Just make sure that if you use it, you only apply it to the bf2042.exe.
