BF2042 Fails to Launch

Everything seems to start normally, I see the game launch window pop up, then the anti cheat, then I get a command prompt window and it closes nothing happens. I've attempted to get ahold of customer support several times but its seems that they just run bots as I get zero actual support and multiple emails from several different "people" over the same issue so I have to keep explaining the problem over and over and none of them have any real answers.  The game use to launch fine before the patch.

    Hey, can you try a clean boot to see if any programs are messing with Battlefield 2042 and turn off any overlay programs, such as Discord or Nvidia experience.

     

    Can you add a Dxdiag so we can see what hardware and drivers you have? 

    Also can you note down any troubleshooting you have tried. 

     

    Let me know if this works or not for you. 🙂

    Thanks for coming back to me Rokebo, I really appreciate you taking the time to reply! Most times the EasyCheat popup appears, then disappears, then nothing.... When that doesn't happen, I get the CreateFile failed with 32 error (which has only started happening in the last week)

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled onto a different SSD drive, several times.

    I've tried the clean boot.

    I've tried other solutions such as setting the EasyCheat process startup to Automatic instead of the default Manual.

    I've gone through the process of doing a full removal of Origin (reg entries etc...)

    Best as I can tell my drivers are up to date.

    etc...

    etc...

    etc...

    I just ran a dxdiag and tried to attach the text file to this post, but when I tried that Edge just froze and started grabbing a ton of resources. Any thoughts on that?

    Thanks again for your time!

    Should have mentioned....

    dxdiag showed no issues and virus scanner reported all clean.

    Thought I'd try one last time.

    Uninstalled the game

    Uninstalled Origin.

    Rebooted

    Went to Epic Launcher and selected Install.

    That then installed the new EA Launcher (replacing Origin) and the game itself.

    Game started on first attempt. Been playing it for a couple of hours without any issues whatsoever.

    Phew!
