Here's what I did.
The first thing I did was turning off game launch as administrator in game files for both 2042.exe and the anticheat. The game still wouldn't launch after I did that so I went into the properties of 2042.exe > Digital Signatures > double clicked on the EA digital signature > View certificate > install certificate and I just clicked next so it installed on the default settings. I did the same thing for the anticheat in the game folder. (The reason I thought of doing this was because I also play Fifa 23 on my laptop and there was a problem where the game also would not start unless the digital signature was installed.) I also did step 2 in your response. I opened both epic games launcher and the origin app, turned on airplane mode and launched the game. The anticheat launched this time and once it loaded the game launched. I simply turned off airplane mode and was able to play. I closed the game and tried launching it again to see if there would be any issues but it seems to be working fine now.
BTW, I only did part of your solution:
1. turning off game launch as administrator in game files for both 2042.exe and the anticheat.
2. properties of 2042.exe > Digital Signatures > double clicked on the EA digital signature > View certificate > install certificate and I just clicked next so it installed on the default settings. I did the same thing for the anticheat in the game folder.
Note: Game Launcher is EPIC in my case
Again, thanks to you
None of these worked for me and reinstalling the game did not help either. HELP EA, PLEASE FIX THE GAME!
This game worked for me for over a year until 3/14/23 and now it will not even run at all! Please get rid of your stupid, broken EA app, Origin was better and that sucked too. I have already tried the other recommendations in other topics too, no wonder we cannot make a new topic or contact a representative for actual help when the game does not even launch.
EA really is the worst company
