It's the same with me. A lot of multiplayer games were launched - no problems. 2042 - disconnects the internet, I reconnect it (sometimes a couple times) and only then everything starts. I will also add that when I play with a friend and I am transferred to a new game for him - black screen and all. When I play alone this problem is not. In any case, the game is not worth the suffering.

In my system (CPU Ryzen 5600X, 32GB DDR4, MB X570 Aorus Elite with Intel I211 Gigabit Ethernet) BF2042 manages to bring down network stack (likely the ethernet driver)
After starting BF, the internet access will fail (neither BF nor other application can access network) and it is impossible to disconnect from PPPOE.
I tried updating Intel Ethernet drivers downloaded from MSI website (MB package) and newest drivers from Intel and the disconnect will still happen for both of them.
With original network drivers (from MSI), Windows shutdown will hang after running BF. With updated drivers there is no hang.
This is a first time I see a game managing to mess up permanently Windows 10 networking stack.
