Game returns to lobby after launching into New Exposure Map

Here's the details of my issue along with a couple attached files showing what happens.

Repro:

1. Launch Steam version of the game

2. Select all-out warfare to get you to the player lobby

3. Change the game mode from multiplayer to Solo/Co-op mode and select either Exposure Breakthrough or Exposure Conquest (happens on both game modes on the Exposure map)

4. Click Play to launch the map

After the game session starts, notice that after a few seconds the game boots to a black loadscreen with the four rotating squares and then lands back in the player lobby.

If I play any other map in Solo in either breakthrough or conquest mode, I have no issues.  But if I try to launch Exposure first, it always boots back to the lobby and if I try to load any other game mode after that on any other map it just fails to load the map fully and boots me back to the lobby.

I'm thinking this might be an Easy Anticheat issue with the in-game anti-tamper hooks or an issue specific to the map.

I've also attached my DXDIAG file

Other steps I've taken:

- Complete uninstall of Origin

- Clean install of latest  Nvidia drivers

- Verified game files (steam-pc version of the game)

- Complete uninstall and reinstall of the game

I also have a video of the issue but it's over the filesize limit on this forum

  • So I managed to solve my own problem.  I completely uninstalled origin and battlefield 2042.  Went to the battlefield 2042 folder under the windows "documents" folder and deleted that folder.

    I then did a fresh reinstall of the game and now the issue has gone away..

    It seems like there's some issue with their patching system and Easy Antichrist.. sorry I mean Anticheat thinking the game is running modded.

  • Just FYI, I'm having precisely the same issue on console (Xbox SX). That makes me think it's not a Steam / Origin / Nvidia issue...

  • I thought it was just me, I asked EA Help on twitter and all I got is oh its your ports. I've changed nothing ever on my end. My game is on Epic gamestore and launches through Origin

  • Similar problem here!

    Loading up the game

    choosing one of the online options

    games load, helicopter scene

    games load map reveleas to be disconnected (all the players are moving in the same line they started moving since the map loaded)

    game returns to lobby

    tried reinstalling the game

    reinstalling origin

    verify game files

    updated all drivers

    restarted my router and all of the extenders

    disabled cross play

    the problem started 4 days ago!

  • I did all of that but not together 🙌

    I will update soon if it worked!

  • @camelboy1 Sorry to hear that. It took me two attempts to fix it for PC. I don't know if that had anything to do with it but it's been working fine for me since. Good luck!
