Just wanted to add, that i have the same problem.
For what i have tried was the following:
So freshly installed EA app and Battlefield 2042. When i can click several times on launcher for the game, where it starts up the Anticheat and then goes back to the launcher.
After several tries, Something happens, i big pop up command like box just in black appears, and then my system i kinda stalling - meaning that if i want to open something, like task manager or a new TAB in chrome. Nothing happens. Only apps i already have opened on my computer, i can intereact with. Everything else is stalled until that black windows has closed, because when it has closed, THEN battlefield 2042 starts up (lol) and for that record, it takes 2-3 minutes of waiting with that black box.
That is the only solution i have, just try to launch the game again and again, until that black box appears, and then wait several minutes.
I have tried the Certificate trick
Administrator on/off for launcher/exe/Anticheat
Reinstall and Repair
Game Mode disable/enable
Disable Network, launch game - Just goes back to launcher
Allowed the game access with firewall
Also with Anti virus etc - the game is cleared
Nothing in Windows Registry that gives any hint of, what has happened.
I play trough Xbox Gamepass PC - with EA app installed of course, and launching the game directly from the folder, from EA or from Xbox, no effect.
And altso, running newest GPU drivers for my RTX 4080, with 5800X AMD CPU, Windows 11, 32GB RAM.. so plenty of resources also.
The game Rust is using the same Anti cheat engine, and that games works fine. So i kinda ruled out, that my system should be block that Anti cheat engine
And lastly, i can launch the game, after several tries as described above.
I hope my observations can lead someone to another solution, not posted before.
Well the AntiCheat has it's own local folder i every game it's present. But when you run the Setup for the Anti cheat, it recognizes that it has been installed to several Games. I have uploaded the picture, so you get my point 🙂 I does however just says Game XX and not directly what game it is, just a number... don't know why 🙂.. but i can try to see what i can do with it.
Well the first time i tried to launch the game, after a freshly booted up computer, with Anti-Cheat reinstalled, it didn't go back to launcher. I did however get the black box thingy that stalls my systems kinda in 2 minutes time, before the games boots up (and another fun thing, the game now says, it needs admin permissions to run - and i already has that - that is a new one)
So i rebooted (because i have read that after others have tried after a reboot, and then it fails to work again) and yeah same here, now i can try to launch the game multiple times, before it will start up.
So conclusion - it did not work :-/
