165 hours of game play on Steam. Not one issue except the game started needing to be launched maybe 2 to 3 times to work. Happened about a month ago
2 of my friends on steam cannot play due to the same reason as me
2 of my other friends on steam can play the game lol >.<
OH WOW my friend just messaged me while typing this and says his game now works randomly. HE did absolutely nothing he says.
So now that's 3 of my friends that can play 2042 on steam and 2 of us can't.
I disabled the asus NoiseCancelingEngine.exe + set EA To not run as ADMIN AND IT * WORKED.
Sadly UMMM i did both of those settings at the same time >.<
- @Siym No problem, then you know its 1 of those 2 that could cause issues !
Have fun - Game On !

Hey Everyone thanks for the information so far...
For anyone running into an error, can you try the following and let us know if the issue is resolved?
- If you have Asus Armory crate or software similar uninstall and try to launch the game
- Roll your Game Ready driver (or equivalent for other GPUs) back to the last stable version and try to launch BF2042
- Run the System File Checker tool then Check for Windows and GPU updates
- Install/Repair your VC++ files for BF2042
- Put your device in a Clean Boot then launch the game
Thanks!
