    Could you kindly update us if the issue persists since yesterday or even today? If the problem continues, we suggest you attempt to repair the game through the EA app (if you have it on the EA app) or validate the game files through Steam or Epic.

I just purchased a BF2042 and unfortunately I couldn't even turn it on, I keep getting the same message. 

"EA anticheat has detected an unacceptable configuration. Check that no software used for cheating or manipulation is running and restart the game. (117)" 

Any ideas?

    @AlexAkAleksy 

    Turn off all applications running in the background except EA APP , BF2042 and antivirus and firewalls . It is possible that you have some application running that EA has deemed illegal, which is why you have this error.

      I don't know what happened but last night the game magically turned on. I have no idea how. I didn't do anything.
      Thanks for the reply, so far the game works. We'll see how long xD

    "EA AntiCheat has detected an unacceptable configuration. Please ensure no cheat-related or tampering software is active and restart the game. (117)"

    Is there any way to find out what this configuration I'm accused of having is so I can not do it or something? Not only is no cheat software active, it's never even been installed. I really do want you to find and remove the people that cheat, but I'm not doing anything special or running any special software. I've ran through all the cache clearing and dsim repair stuff. This first started during a solo game, not sure if that's relevant, but maybe it picked up me leveling my weapons quickly on the ai?  Clues and ideas welcome. And no, I am not giving EA admin access on my computer.

    Regards,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out regarding an ongoing issue I have been experiencing with playing the game I purchased. I've taken a series of steps to address the problem, but unfortunately, the issue persists, and I am unable to enjoy the game.

    Here are the steps I have undertaken:

    • [X] Verified Integrity of Game in Steam (Bc I bought game from Steam)
    • [X] Reinstalled EA Desktop App with full clean unistall (used Revo Uninstaller)
    • [X] Updated EA Anticheat using EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe AND EAAntiCheat.Installer.Tool.exe
    • [X] Repaired EA Anticheat using EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe AND EAAntiCheat.Installer.Tool.exe
    • [X] Deleted whole Temp folder with (Dism++, Windows Disk CleanUp Tool, CCleaner)
    • [X] Updated Drivers, Reinstalled Nvidia Drivers (Clean Install)
    • [X] Windows System File Check (sfc /scannow) and (DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image Scan/Restore/Update)
    • [X] Windows Updates Checked.
    • [X] Registery Entities Restored, Repaired, Cleaned with CCleaner
    • [X] Reinstalled Steam and Battlefield 2042

    It's important to note that this issue began on yesterday, and there were no problems before that. I am deeply disappointed as I paid for this game and am currently unable to access it. Despite all the efforts mentioned above, the problems persist.

    I would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance you can provide to help resolve this matter. It is disheartening to be unable to enjoy something I have invested in.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.
