I have two GPUs in my system and since the release yesterday when I try and launch the game, it selects the 2nd GPU which isn't my primary gaming GPU. Fullscreen is still a window view, and no other display related options are changeable. I play other EA games via Xbox Game Pass for PC (Fallen Order, PvZ Battle for Neighborhood) with no issues.
I've uploaded a screenshot for reference.

@j0daxd have you checked in Nvidia Control Panel and selected your primary GPU to run game?
Yep I did just now and everything Globally is set to use the 3070 for all things GPU and PhysX.
I also have this issue and selecting the "CUDA GPU" in the nvidia control panel does not do anything. This appears to be an issue with the devs hard-coding which gpu to use somewhere in the game which pretty much guarantees that they never tested this game with multi gpu systems.
Yeah I'd assume so too as pretty much all games, especially new titles have an option to toggle which gpu to use. And more importantly they find and use the display output card... unlike bf which seems to not for some reason.

In Windows 11, open Settings (press Win + I on your keyboard), select Gaming on the left sidebar, head to Game Mode
on the right and then enable the Game Mode switch.
In the same windows there is an option GRAPHICS , click it.
Check if ya see the Batteliefield 2042 and EasyAntiCheat Launcher (add them if needed by browse).
Now click at the Battlefield 2042 (you just added and) select OPTION and choose HIGH PERFORMANCE (GPU CARD NAME), select SAVE.

None of this works at all the game just overrides to last enmuerated GPU. I even tried designating the slots etc just doesn't work for anything gotta physically switch slots for GPU's in system or disable one to get it to work.
Same here. Have built in GPU in my CPU and a PCI-E graphic card. The other day my screen went black during BF2042 gameplay. Restarted my PC and tried to launch the game again. Same happen.
When i look into my devices i see that my PCI-E is disabled and my buildt in GPU is selected as head source...wtf DICE?
