We're receiving reports from players that they're able to launch the game correctly again.

It looks like the following symptoms are potentially connected:Black Screen on Game Launch (takes longer to load),The loading intro video is stuck in a loop,When you eventually load into the menu, there is a severe lag in the menu or you get disconnected.
There look to be some temporary solutions that fixes this issue for some people:Ether repairing the game via the EA app or verifying the files via Steam,Or potentially renaming the Battlefield 2042 folder in the Documents folder (note: this will reset the game settings).
