Further details:
The game was working prior to this latest EA App update I installed today (the last time played was Tues of last week).
The first two images below are the errors that I see when I attempt to open the game via the EA App. The third and final image is what I see when I attempt to open the game via the desktop icon and the .exe file directly from the game directory (ran as administrator).
Attempted solutions (all failed):
1. Restart PC.
2. Reinstall EA Anti-Cheat.
3. Via EA App, repair the BF2042 game.
4. Via EA App, uninstall and install BF2042 game.
After trying each of the above resolution methods, the same errors appear as shown in the images below.
I've also tried solution #8 exactly as stated (the purported solution) in post #5 shown in this thread here, but without success: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Please-Help-EA-AntiCheat-error-7-2/m-p/14315786#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20error%20it,'t%20start%20the%20game.%22
