BF2042 unable to boot, or play games within last 2 weeks.

Platform: PC

Date/Time Issue Occurred - On any boot of the game, within the last week or two.

What Type of issue do I have - Trying to boot the game gives any number of error windows and the game cannot boot. If I can get to the main menu, and attempt to boot the game, the game will still crash and be unable to load any game type.

Which Mode has this happened in - All modes, at this point I'm resigned to believe that the game cannot load on my machine (I7, 3070, 16GB DDR4 - have had no issues for my previous 230 hours of playing)

Summarize your Bug - The game has been unable to load, I've checked on Discord and Reddit, and it appears I'm not the only one with this issue that has started to occur out of the blue. Many of us have had issues loading the game. 

How often does the Bug occur - Upon every boot, about a week ago, it would fail out when I was joining games, but after about 5 attempts would put me into a game, now I'm unable to join altogether.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves - I'd recommend picking up a similar spec'd laptop with a similar amount of playing time. My guess is it's related to the new maps - Battle of the Bulge, and Al Alamein, because I've had no issues with the game until those games were released. Again, I was playing pretty considerably every week, but this issue has only proliferated recently.

What happens when the bug occurs - You will get a multitude of issues, about Direct X, about your Graphics Drivers, both of which on my end are up to date, there's nothing specific that speaks to me regarding those issues, but reinstalling did not fix the issue, and only BF2042 has issues on my PC. I've had no issues running other modern games, and downgrading my graphics did not fix the issues.

What do you expect to see - I'd hope that BF can look into what specifically changed with the release of new maps as it relates to crashes. I'd imagine you have a decent backlog of other users crashing and their data as it relates to this, I think there was some sort of graphical benchmark check that is faulty and causing users to be unable to boot games that they'd previously had no issues with. Upon speaking with Support, they mentioned 3 similar cases they'd experienced today. It seems this is an internal issue that needs resolving.

Thanks, 
Daniel

  • Despite my troubleshooting attempted, I am experiencing the same issues on 2042. bumping and looking forward for a resolution soon or a possible patch.

    In the meantime, I do recommend to reinstall the game, that seem to have done the trick for me at least temporarily.
