BF2042 crashes on launch

Hi,

I'm currently experiencing common problem with crashing without any error messages during launch, which is probably connected to some conflicts between latest version of NVidia drivers and new AntiCheat Javelin. AFAIK possible solution is to revert drivers to older version (which is not an option, I'm not going to do this for one game). So, the question is: are Dev teams of BF2042 and/or Javelin planning to release some fix in the near future BEFORE releasing BF6 (which was functioning rather good, especially considering it was beta) or I should simply abandon hopes for playing BF2042?

  • Steeve_BF​ I have reverted my driver, repaired the EA app, reinstalled BF 2042, verified the integrity of the files, and I'm still getting the same issue too. I hope there is a fix soon.

    Hi again JustAlMass​ 
    Yes i know what do you mean...
    After some testing, I was able to try this solution on certain users: 

    - Downgrade your Nvidia driver to 577.0.
    - Restart your machine.
    - Launch the game (play for about 50 seconds).
    - Close the game.
    - Launch Nvidia App. 
    -Update your driver to the latest version.
    - Restart your machine.
    - The problem should now be resolved.

    This will save you from having to keep version 577  😄
    And I think DICE is already aware of this, as there have been a lot of reports about this issue this week.

    Yep, I'm rather aware that problem is with NVidia driver, but question is: are you (Dice) going to fix this problem or not? =) Because I'm not going to revert driver only for it

  • Hello JustAlMass​ 
    I'm Steeve, glad to be able to help you today.
    The problem you're experiencing may be due to the NVIDIA driver.

    - I recommend installing version 577.0 (no other version), available here → https://www.nvidia.com/fr-fr/drivers/

    - After that you can repair EA Javelin anticheat here -> https://help.ea.com/en/articles/platforms/pc-ea-anticheat/

    - Restart your PC and launch the game

    Many players have this problem. - my message is often the same on certain posts.
    Let me know ! 😃
