I have the same issue as @HeroCllass
My scenario is that my Windows 11 got broken by a major update. So I installed a fresh Windows 11 install on a new NVMe drive .
I only installed Windows + Updates, AMD Chipset drivers, latest NVIDIA driver (the same driver I was using yesterday before I reinstalled), Steam + Origin.
I can all other BF games and other EAC games like Apex Legends, except BF2042.

Here is my DxDiag
Hello
Hi 5
I am not longer alone in the world!
now lets see how we get around this.....
it cant be EAC becaues it works in about 6 other games i play.....
it would be nice if EA/developer would do a clean install of windows on a new machine and test install.....maybe windows broke something in an update
shameless bump
Community ManagerHey all,
I appreciate the updates.
Can you double-check to make sure there isn't another instance of EAC running in the background when you're trying to launch BF2042? If it's still running that can cause this error.
If you see EAC in your task manager end the task then try launching the game again. Let me know if that makes any difference.
If you're still getting an error when you're trying to launch the game please let me know if you're still getting error 30005, or if it's a different error. Thank you!
Yes!
there was a EAC.exe running in the background - so i ended it and did a repair
so no more EAC error.
but once again - when launching the game EAC launches with bf logo but then just crashes - so no play
but at least it installs correctly
Community Manager
Is it now crashing with no error at all?
Got welcomed today with this screen, Battlefield 4 MP, GTAV and co are all running well. So it is not my pc nor internet connection 🙂
@EA Kent
That is correct sir
The BF2042 logo appears with the EAC anti cheat loading bar - once the loading bar reaches the end it crashes back to oririgin screen
no error, nothing
would you like me to record it for you? i can then upload it so you can see what is happening

I have the same issue. I have been searching the forums and looking for a solution for a long time now. I have tried everything I have seen here in these forums to correct this issue. The game has worked for me briefly a few times but was crashing and now it won't even load on both my PC and my gaming laptop. It shows the EAC screen with the loading bar then dumps me back to Origin after 5-10 seconds. REALLY would love to play this game.
Welcome to the thread!
i am still waiting for this to be resolved
at least EA is trying
Shameless bump
shamless bump - issue still happening
did ya try to set anticheat.exe to run as admin ?
right click the exe, properties, compatibilty , run as admin ?
Thank you for the reply
yes that was already completed
along with alot of other steps
bump?
DICE TeamOkay so I just helped my friend solve this *.
Its going to sound redundant but first video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46HzCqTva34
So it seems like the people saying delete the .sys file were on the right track. BUT
Apparently you need to also go to your System32 file and EAC will have dumped a file there also. You need to delete both the one in System 32 (Thus the "Error code 30005 [Failed create end with 32} name) and in the x86 EAC file.
Spent last 3 days (About 5 hours a day) troublehshooting all this *. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Pls lmk if it worked cause I have been seeing this error everywhere apparently for years.
Hi, I found a solution that is worth trying to anyone go to services find the; EasyAntiCheat > Right Click Change from Manual to Automatic > Launch the game and click start at the exact same time in the window the game will launch and you'll not need to do this again.
