So my story is I haven't played this game in months. My PC was updated fully to W11 22H2 before I updated BF. I updated BF sometime after its latest patch, a week or two ago and it never worked.
My troubleshooting was mostly done prior to yesterday and KB5014770 update 6/14. The update did not change anything. The other updates are from 5/31 and 5/18 which, I believe are both after the BF patch/me updating the game.
The latest updates I installed are.....
2022-05 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 for Windows 11 for x64 (KB5013628) 5/18
2022-05 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems (KB5013943) 5/18
2022-05 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 for Windows 11 for x64 (KB5013889) 5/31
2022-05 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems (KB5014019) 5/31
Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Insider Preview (10.0.22621.160) (KB5014770) 6/14
Thanks again!

Community Manager@DiscoStu420, gotcha. Do you also have Trend Micro Antovirus installed by any chance?

I do not have any 3rd party AV installed. Windows Defender is at default settings.EDIT: I tried disabling Defender/AV (Realtime + cloud delivered protection, auto sample submission and tamper protection off. Ransome protection is not on. No change. Same behavior.
This is what the Event Viewer says.. Seems like Origin had/has problem and some Qt5Core.dll module.

Faulting package-relative application ID:EDIT2: After deleting, rebooting, DLing and reinstalling Origin. Same issue with BF2042.... Click on play it says LAUNCH->RUINNING->and closes within 2 seconds. The difference now is Origin appears to stay up. Whereas previously (but not all the time) show this error in the log.
Oddly, if I keep hitting "Play" in steam, Origin will 'blip' off the screen and pop back up as if closed and opened again. Windows event viewer doesn't show a failure or error code at all and Origin doesn't really appear to close and reopen (loses focus and then pops back up in focus).
FTR, I ran sfc /scannow and it did not find any integrity violations.
EDIT3: So, it really seems like this is some weird Origin problem with BF2042. When you hit play in Steam, Origin appears to be loading. But before that ever happens, Steam says LAUNCH->RUNNING, running disappears and you can hit play again to repeat the same behavior. Once origin loads, Steam tries to launch the game again (LAUNCH->RUNNING), origin disappears from the screen and pops back up.
Worth noting, that Apex Legend doesn't work either. I just fully updated it and it crashes after the splash screen. i haven't tried any other Origin game... but every other game I play (many as graphic-intensive or more) works just fine. This includes through Battle.net (COD), Epic Games (Fortnite), and several games in Steam (PUBG, PGA 2k21, Super People, Assetto Corsa, AOE, DayZ).
Trying a new NV driver now......................did not work.
