BF2042 not launching after splash screen

Hey, I need some assistance here. 2 days ago I wa still able to launch the game but weirdly I am not anymore. The splash screen appears and then disappears but I can still see the game running when opening task manager, I just can’t „see“ it. After some time, the EA App opens again and the game has been shutdown again. (I am playing via EA Desktop). 
What I did so far: reinstalling both ea app and the game, reinstalled eac, created a CFG anti virus exclusion, updated graphics drivers (NVIDIA RTX 3080), checked windows defender firewall, configured the exe to be running as administrator, repaired the game in the ea app, uninstalled some recent windows updates, set my mouse’s tickrate to 500hz from 2000hz -> nothing helped. What am I missing?

    So as soon as the EA app pops up again after trying to boot the game, the event viewer lists an error with EAAntiCheatService ExitType: 95 (251) and another event within the system tab says:
    EAAntiCheatService error code %%4294901855
    I reinstalled the x64 and x86 redistributable packages after uninstalling everything that has been there before - nothing helped, still the same error. Do I really have to reset my entire PC and reinstall windows?

    It sounds like EA anticheat is closing the game. I'm not sure why, maybe there's an app running on Windows that it doesn't like?

    You mention an antivirus program. If it's a 3rd party app maybe uninstalling it might help?

    Which Windows version do you have, Win10 or Win11?
