- @BITE_Augustas_95 I have the same problem, did you find a solution?
When I press play on Steam, the game doesn't start and closes without opening.- @OzelharekaTR5534 no, I tried everything at this stage. It's the game itself as every other game launches fine. Still awaiting a reply to hopefuly sort it.
Hi, just trying to bump this up. Any solution to this?
I've got the same issue. In 2042, I get "connecting to online services", the load freezes for a few seconds then crashes. I just tried to run BF5 and I get basically the same thing, the load freezes and then crashes back to the EQ app. The common denominator is EA AC. This issue started Friday evening as I was able to play fine earlier in the day.
I've had a ticket opened (Case #180982909) and have IM'd with I believe 3 different people so far. Things I've done to attempt to resolve this issue (most of the following have been done multiple times):
Cleared EA app cache (https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/)
Uninstalled and reinstalled EA Anticheat at least twice and repaired 3 more times (https://help.ea.com/in/help/pc/ea-anticheat/#:~:text=Failure%20during%20update%20process&text=Click%20Close%20in%20the%20EA,again%20for%20the%20game%20manually.) & (https://help.ea.com/in/help/faq/troubleshoot-easy-anti-cheat/)
Uninstalled and reinstalled BF 2042 and BF5
Clean hard boot (https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/)
Multiple restarts
Ran app as admin
Tried running the game as admin
I also received this link from one of the chats (https://support.microsoft.com/windows/fix-network-connection-issues-in-windows-166a28c4-14c1-bdb1-473c-09c1571455d8) but thought it was pretty obvious my internet was working if my chat was working
I also received this from one of the reps but can find no information about a master ticket, status of the ticket or even if there is a ticket.
Deepika: I just got this case investigated by the concerned team and am happy to tell you that you’ve nothing to worry about, looks like a few other players have reported this issue as well, however, the good news here is that the studio is already aware of it and is already working on a fix, it’s getting rectified as we speak, thanks for your patience on this one and again do not worry we got your back on this one. As per the investigation, I have found that this is a known issue to us. Our dedicated teams are working hard on the issue to fix it at earliest.
I've tried all of the above. Lucky for you the game actually start to that point. For me I just get a black window as its about to start and straight away closes and brings me back to ea app.
There were no problems until the last update
Well gentlemen I have fixed the issue.
Or the issue may have resolved itself which isint helpful to anyone. So, long story short I was upgrading my PC and installed an Ssd so I thought I'd clear up my NVME M. 2 by deleted battlefield and other games and reinstalling them on the ssd.
And after the install was done through the Ea app... The game launched like nothing has ever happened and runs smoothly.
There was no updates, driver checks, windows repairs or administration permissions in fact didn't do anything at all apart from moving it from one driver to the other.
