Game won't start: error->Cannot run it with driver verification active. (68)???

I still have problems launching BF2042, the game has simply never started since I bought it. I bought it on 03/18/2023 and it never worked, the game didn't start, not once.

How the Bug occurs:

I open EA Play, click to launch the game, then the splash screen appears and after a few seconds it closes, returning to EA Play, showing a window with the error below:


Message from the window in the image above:
"Cannot run it with driver verification active. Disable it and try again. (68)"

What exactly does this mean? To test, I have already disabled the Windows 11 signature enforcement driver. When I tried to start the game, it informed me that this cannot be disabled. My hands are tied, I need specialized help to adjust this bug in the game.


I've already searched the internet, on official forums and didn't find any error identical to mine.

What I've already done trying to solve the problem:

- I disabled antivirus
- I disabled all programs from the Windows tray and startup, only what was necessary remained
- Win 11 updated
- Latest nvidia drivers
- Latest motherboard drivers
- I reinstalled and updated EasyAntiCheat
- Updated and repaired all MS VC Packages (Visual C++)
- I set it to run as Admin

Specs:

- Core i5 12400F

- Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X

- 32GB DDR4

- Mouse Logitech G403

- VGA Galax RTX 3080 SG 12GB

- SSD M.2 WD Black SN850 1TB NVM

I would like to get a solution soon, as I paid for a game that never worked.

Other games like BFV, BF4, BF3, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Star Wars: Squadrons and others work without problems.

    I'm sincerely sorry to hear about the ongoing issues you're facing with Battlefield 2042. Your detailed report is much appreciated, and I understand the frustration this situation has caused.

    Based on your description, it seems you've already taken several troubleshooting steps. Given your comprehensive efforts, let's proceed with some additional actions:

    1. Check Driver Verification Settings:

      • Ensure that Windows driver verification is disabled. You may need to revisit this setting to ensure it's properly turned off.

    2. Clean Boot:

      • Perform a clean boot to rule out any potential conflicts with third-party software. Instructions can be found

    3. Reinstall DirectX:

      • Download and reinstall the latest DirectX version from the official Microsoft website.

    4. Check for System File Errors:

      • Open a Command Prompt as an administrator and run the command sfc /scannow to check for and repair any corrupted system files.

    5. Contact EA Support for Specialized Assistance:

      • Reach out to EA Support, providing them with the detailed information you've shared here. They may have specialized steps or insights tailored to your specific situation.

    I understand how important it is to have a game you've purchased running smoothly. If none of these steps yield positive results, I recommend contacting EA Support at your earliest convenience.
