  Hi @Tomatomelette,
  
  What happens if you start your PC in a Clean Boot before you launch BF2042? If there's something running that's causing issues with EAC that might help to get around it.
  
  You can find more info on how to set up a Clean Boot over at the EA Help website. Let me know how that goes once you're able to give it a shot. Thanks!

  Hi @intssed,
  
  If you haven't already, can you try starting up your PC in a Clean Boot to see if that helps? If something else is running that could be related to this error that may help to get around it.
  
  For more details on how you can set up a Clean Boot check out the EA Help website. Let me know if you're still running into the same error message afterward. Thanks!

  For me, i tried all the stuff... sfc scannow, deleting .sys, deleting all instances of EAC, fresh install of game, gfx card drivers, ending all processes in task manager that werent necessary, blahblahblah. in the end, i just stopped using EA desktop app and installed Origin instead. Dectected the game from the ea desktop install, did a quick auto-verify, then worked immediately. Geez, so many different things causing problems with EAC. Thank goodness we definitely have less hackers nowadays because of EAC and we totally don't have exactly the same amount of hackers as we did when I first started gaming before battlefield even exist.. *
