BF2042 Not Launching
I've tried literally everything I've seen on the this forum as well as reddit and YouTube such as -Updating windows (Windows 10 22H2) -Updating Geforce GPU Drivers (531.26 the hotfix one) -Unins...
So i have tried everything in all these threads, but this fixed it for me!
It failed to launch on the first try after setting EAdesktop.exe to run as admin.
I ended the "EA background service" in taskmanager and the second launch was succesfull.
What i did before this is:
- verify game files a million times
- clear game cache C:\Users\*username*\Documents\Battlefield 2042\cache
- updating drivers and windows
- disabling firewall and antivirus (this did nothing so i wouldn't even bother)
- Reinstalling the EA app
It seems to me that EAdesktop.exe not running as admin was the culprit.
My fix was launch the game in windows 8 mode.
