Game won't launch Past EA Anticheat

When I launch the Game it gets to the easy anti-cheat splash screen, and that's it the game will never launch, steam claims the game is running but a window never appears, task manager says there is no game running.

1. Reinstalled ea app, the game, easy anti-cheat

2. Repaired the game and app and cache

3. Updated all of my drivers

4. Run everything on administrator

8. I have tried this post https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/BF2042-won-t-Launch-after-latest-EA-app-update/m-p/123347...

9. And this https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/BF2042-Not-Launching/m-p/12383719

Link to a video of the issue (The video has been fast forward between the splash screen closing and me closing the program, i have let it sit for 20+ minutes to see if anything would happen) : https://youtu.be/Jpq1P4FfKBY

Let me know if you have any ideas for a fix. thank you.

  • I assume your firewall is letting EA Anti-cheat through and there is no Antivirus's blocking EA Anti-cheat?

    All I got, some have said reinstalling the OS fixed their issue but that seems a bit extreme.

    There's an anti-cheat in this game?

    What's your Firewall? It's going to be a Firewall issue.

    If it's an external FW, turn the UPnP option to ON.

    If it's a software Anti-virus\ firewall you need to look through the logs, checking the timestamp as to what it has blocked.

    Did you ever find a fix? None of this **bleep** suggested works and I've gone back 4+ years to test everything to no avail
