BF2042 Update Won't Download

===Turkey Day Update===

Uninstalling from EA app left me in a state where I could not even redownload it.

Installed from Origin and everything has been fine.  Worried about how it will behave next patch, but EA support and proactive acknowledgement of these issues is hovering around 0% which tells me this is relatively rare or they don't have a system to capture this feedback and get it to someone who cares.

I have 300GB free on that target drive when it give me the error.

===original message===

Have not been able to play BF2042 since the update, because the update won't download and install.

1. Launch EA App
2. Click "Play" action for BF2042
3. Error:  BF2042 Needs an Update
4. Error:  Attempting to update from the screen below closes the window and takes no action.  

(Game is installed to default location:  C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2042)

    @clawoftui Dude more people should have given you a +XP. first time happening to me NOW and this helped. Thank you.
  • Exact same problem with pllenty of space and redownloading the EA app and reinstalling still same thing. Havent been able to play this game once since the last update. Ridiculous,  pay this much for a game and every time I want to play its broken or needing a gigantic update.. I will just go play MWII
