BF2042 won't launch after EAC Splash

I have this issue every other day, happens randomly. BF2042 doesn't start after Easy Anti Cheat splash screen. It works on its own without a particular fix and then stops suddenly for days. EA App starts with Admin rights. The frustrating part is that there is no error.

EAC splash.

Task Manager shows that BF2042.exe is running under EAC Launcher

Then it moves to a separate thread/process.

I have Repaired, Uninstalled, Re-Installed EAC from within the BF2042 directory with Admin rights.

I have also performed the repair option and it completed successfully.

 

 

I also occasionally delete the contents of the 

C:\Users\Electrobot\Documents\Battlefield 2042\cache

 directory because the game uses 90%+ CPU and after this is deleted, the CPU usage drops to 70-75%. The game has worked fine even after this deletion.

I have also restarted the computer several times and uninstalled then reinstalled EA app.

EA App version. Starts with Admin rights

PC Config

GeForce RTX 3060 Driver Version

 

 

 

Antivirus:

  • Malwarebytes for Teams (Free)

  • Bitdefender Antivirus Free with Protection and Threat Defense disabled.

It works sometimes on its own but this issue happens a lot. Sometimes the game won't launch for days. It worked fine yesterday but this morning even after a few restarts the game wouldn't load after EAC.

Is there a port that EAC checks if it's open and maybe crashes when it's in use? A fix to this issue is highly appreciated.

    Another issue with the EA app is it's crashes before launching. This happens sometimes and the app doesn't load. Restarting the app or the computer doesn't work. Other apps/launchers such as Epic, UBISOFT, Xbox, Rockstar, Steam are a million times better. EA releases unfinished products and then fixes are nowhere to be found years later.
