Did that... same result..

The only way to open BF2042 is to put another active donwload in the queue.

I've put BF4 downloading.

Opened BF2042: no problems

Paused download of BF4: still no problems at BF2042. Can play it as usual.

If I start BF2042 without an active download: Crash..

Problem :D : since I download at ~90MB/s, when BF2042 loads i've already downloaded 5GB!.

A fix for this would be nice..

    @PTSonick reinstall EA Desktop app.
    Uninstall with revo uninstaller first.

        @PTSonick youre sure ya deleted all folders releated to ea desktop app.
        Also the hidden files ?
        And in revo uninstaller ya did check ADVANCED when uninstall software ? to get rid of registry keys and folders ?

        Manualy delete hidden folders in Programdata folder and APPDATA folder
        that are related to Ea Desktop app !
