Community Manager@DiscoStu420, that's unfortunate to hear. In that case it's very likely that a different program is blocking these launchers.

Well, I bit the bullet and put a fresh install of W11 (using media creation tool) on an old HDD...the game now works. I'm afraid to update Windows to newer versions...

- EA_Leeuw@DiscoStu420, hmm, alright. That is indeed a pretty drastic step. We would normally not really recommend doing this though, since it really is the most drastic troubleshooting steps someone can perform. Only when all help fails. But yeah, I am glad to hear that it's working again. I hope it will keep working for you!
I installed another Windows 11 update today and the game works again.... so happy. Seems like Microsoft fixed the issue.
- EA_LeeuwHey @MikoBLN21,
I am very happy to hear that!
Do you happen to know which Windows 11 update this was? You can see that in the Windows Update History. - EA_Leeuw@MikoBLN21, sweet, thanks for letting me know!
- @EA_Leeuw ALL - I turned off Trend Micro and then shut it down and BF2042 is now working. I am running Windows 10.
