Game won't start after every Origin/EA App restart

Every time after i close BF 2042 and Origin (or EA App) and try to lauch game later, it won't start.

After push LAUNCH GAME button, it becomes inactive, and nothing happens. Only solution is clear BF 2042 cache on system disc, it happens every time after close launcher.
And more - this happen on Origin, EA App, before and afer PC hard reset - clear installation of windows.
I talking on chat with support, but they can't help, they send me here for help.
Please..
Can you help?

    Delete "Battlefield 2042" folder from C:\ProgramData\Origin\LocalContent

    I played a few hours on steam, when is on free weekend. So i have 2 versions of Battlefield 2042 in library. Maybe this is problem?

    @PanieKierowniku, oh, hmm, I would not manually touch those folders actually. It's possible that this causes more harm than good.

    So whenever you want to boot up Origin and the game for the first time while you're using your PC, it works fine, right? But if you decide to stop playing, boot up Origin and want to boot up the game again, it's stuck in the boot up sequence, you see the Play button is grayed out automatically when not even attempting to launch the game?

    Nope, it's stuck at first time after PC launch. When i try open it from .exe Origin shows error "Battlefield 2042 was unable to launch, please re download the game". Only redownload cache can help, it's solution for any game from official EA Site. But it shouldn't be this way every time.

    Hey @PanieKierowniku,

    This is a forum, not a one-to-one helpdesk. Therefore it can sometimes take some time before someone replies to your posts. 🙂 It's also a place mainly meant for players who are helping other players. If you would like to receive one-to-one support, the best thing you can do is reaching out to the EA Support team via https://help.ea.com/contact-us.

    Just to check, how have you installed BF2042 exactly and what is your main launcher?
    And have you installed the game on a different internal drive then where your launcher is installed on?
