    I was finally able to get the game to run by disconnecting one of my hard drives that i use to install games. I saw another user do that and it worked for me. This is not an ideal solution but at least i can finish the battlepass and i might mess with it more after the next update from DICE which may hopefully fix this issue.

updating with the final solution here. I previously had two ssd's that were in raid 0. It turns out one of these SSD's had failed but the raid was still showing in windows. i noticed by opening up the windows storage spaces application and saw that one drive had a warning on it. I deleted the disk pool completely and then went to disk manager and set the one drive out of the two that was working as a new drive letter...so the failed drive is completely gone. and now the game opens. Keep in mind bf2042 was not installed on these drives so not sure why the game cares, but it does.
