I opened an html file starting with "BF2042_" in this folder (ProgramData is a hidden folder so you'd need to make sure hidden files and folders are visible if you're clicking through):
C:\ProgramData\Origin\Logs\
and found errors (highlighted in red) saying:
"Failure opening file to save license. Path: C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License\193874.dlf"
So I went to this folder
C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\
Then, right click the License directory
Select Properties > Security > Edit...
Scroll down the list under "Group or user names" to find "Users (YourPCName\Users)",
Select that and tick Allow for Full Control.
And the game finally launched for me.
Might not be exactly the same issue for you but you could check one of those log files and see if an error points you to a folder that needs its permissions changed.
finally got to give this a try, unfortunately it didn't work but thanks anyway!
- @stormchild1993 can you explain what happens in details? Also post a dxdiag please !
Maybe a video and/or screenshots will help more.here's the Dx diag and screenshot. basically when I start it, it loads up EAC then it'll either open the game in a small window and immediately close or this error pops up. I've repaired and re-installed EAC multiple times and tried deleting the .sys file in the program files(x86) directory. interestingly if I try to repair the EAC from the .EXE in my C drive, 9/10 times it will say 'invalid game number' or something (BF2042 is 609 on my system) and delete it. sometimes it repairs it fine but still comes with the same error when I boot. My leading theory is that it has something to do with the game being on another drive but all my other EAC games or on the same drive and boot with no issue so I'm not sure.
@Rokebo73 sorry just realised I didn't @. any ideas?
- @stormchild1993 Rename the folder where EAC is installed.
Then run the EAC setup as an admin and repair/install eac !
Update us please !
