Can't launch BF2042 and BFV via Steam

Why was the thread closed after only 3-4 people got positive feedback? What about the other dozens who still have the same problem? The problem was not solved for me, today I accessed Battlefield ...

Hi.

I just performed the first test.

I asked my son to log into his Steam account and then log into his EA account, and then try to open the game.

Exactly the same thing happens: right after the initial loading screen, the screen goes blank and goes back to the Steam/EA App.

We also tested it by creating a new user profile in Windows, but it didn't change anything.

His machine (where everything works) has a slightly lower configuration than mine (his processor is a Xeon and mine is a Ryzen 5600X. His memory is only 16GB, mine is 32GB. His Windows is 10, Windows mine is Windows 11). The video cards are exactly the same: ASUS GTX-1060 GB.

I need to know what the problem is and fix it. I invested a lot of money to buy a new copy to play with my son, and now he has the game and he can play it and I just can't even get into it anymore.

Just kidding.

    @Rokebo73Nothing other than normal Windows updates.

    My son and I have the same antivirus and firewall software (Bitdefender). We play on the same network.

    A few hours ago I did another test: I reinstalled Windows 11 from an ISO. Before installing the latest updates from Windows Update again, I tested the game and the same thing happened, nothing changed.

    This lack of a LOG that points out the problem is what irritates me, doesn't it register anywhere?

        @Rokebo73 I bought it on Steam, in December/2022. I played several times until the end of January/2023. In February, my vacation ended, and I spent the entire month without entering the game.
        Now in March/2023, I bought another copy on Steam for my son to play with me, and I found that the game no longer opened, neither the BF2042 nor the BFV that I played either.
