BF2042 won't launch anymore (incl. Error Code 30005)

What fixed it for me was realizing having both EA App and Origin using Battlefield 2042. I initially used it on Origin, then just switched completely last week to EA App. There's been tons of bugs with newest Bf2042 update so I thought to switch to Origin again but didn't uninstall EA App. No matter what i tried nothing worked that 2as suggested til I Uninstalled both ea clients and reinstalled Origin. I did not re-download bf2042 and when the install was done, re launched the game and poof, works.
