Hello. I have a problem with BF 2042. Need Help!

DxDiag

Hi MiracleTrooper​ 
I'm Steeve, glad to be able to help you today.
The problem you're experiencing may be due to the NVIDIA driver.

- I recommend installing version 577.0, available here → https://www.nvidia.com/fr-fr/drivers/

- After that you can repair EA Javelin anticheat here -> https://help.ea.com/en/articles/platforms/pc-ea-anticheat/

- Restart your PC and launch the game

Let me know ! 😃

Okay. I'll try, but I'll add something first.

Windows Event Viewer displayed two items.
EAAntiCheatService
The game bf2042.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0x186AA

EAAntiCheatService
The game bf2042.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0xC0000005

Yes i know 😄
Yesterday, I checked the computers of five players who had this problem.

Unfortunately, the problem has not been resolved. :(
I rolled back the video driver to 577.
I deleted the EA application and installed it again.
I also deleted the anti-cheat and installed it again.
All of this was done as an administrator.

[POST EDIT AFTER TEST WITH USER]

The user continues to experience crashes with the game despite several hours of testing.
Here's everything I've tried:

🔹 Windows update (latest updates installed).

🔹Update all driver.

🔹 GPU driver update (NVIDIA/AMD).

🔹 EA App and game update.

🔹 Checking/repairing game files via EA App.

🔹 Completely reinstalling the game.

🔹 Reinstalling/repairing EA AntiCheat.

🔹 Launching in administrator mode (game and EA App).

🔹 Disable EA/Origin/Discord/GeForce Experience overlay.

🔹 Test with DX11/DX12.

🔹 Set graphics settings to minimum via the GstRender file (resolution, textures, shadows, effects, etc.).

🔹 Disable sound/VOIP/unnecessary options via GstAudio.

🔹 EA App cache cleared.

🔹 Windows system files scanned (sfc /scannow).

🔹 Test with antivirus/firewall disabled.

🔹 Run in windowed/full screen/borderless mode.

---Despite all this, the game continues to crash---

The only solution left at this point is to contact EA support directly, with:

 - DxDiag,

- The AntiCheat logs ->
EAAntiCheatService The game bf2042.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0xC0000005
EAAntiCheatService The game bf2042.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0x186AA

- And a description of the crashes.

I'm posting this to inform those who are experiencing the same problem: there's no point in wasting hours testing everything if nothing works → go straight to support.

I have the exact same problem. I join a match then after a couple minutes the game freezes and then closes, the Windows Event Viewer says:

EAAntiCheatService
The game bf2042.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0xC0000005

I tried with a non overclocked configuration, as vanilla as possible, and I made sure that my antivirus had the BF2042 folder in the exclusions, but still can't play more than a couple mins. I also tried the below suggestions about repairing the game, reinstalling the older nVidia driver and repairing the EA Javelin anticheat but it is still doing it. Thermals of CPU/GPU are 60-70 just before the crash, and no WHEA errors. I am on Windows 11 24H2 (build 26100.4946).

Please, if you find a way to solve this, let everyone know here.

I have the same problem. It’s insane that you pay for a game that keeps crashing and have to spend half a day trying to fix it... EA should give the money back.

Same issue. Crashed after playing a round of conquest 64 and after game ended BF2042 closed itself completely. event viewer had same error message as OP. I built 3 new PC's and although my wife's seems to work ok, she only plays once a week. The stepfathers pc does the crash that closes the BF2042 game altogether once in a while but mine does it a lot. I have been fighting these problems for over a month now and I also have an RTX 5070 so I get the extra problems of stutters and freezes for a few seconds all the time. The other 2 pc's have RTX3060's and seem ok in that regard. My pc also has the issue with KB5063878 when it installs the update and I restart the pc, it says "oops, something didn't go as planned..." and says not to worry as it tries to undo the update and after 3 or 4 restarts I get my login screen but neither my keyboard or mouse works so I can't even log back in. So I do yet another system restore and hack the Windows updates to disable them for 1 year or it tries to install the update again and again. So I am likely fighting either EA, or Microsoft, or Nvidia and it may end up just one of them is the underlying problem and it's likely Microsoft.  Not a happy camper and I have been building pc's for my whole life. It's crazy!

i have 3 computers at my home, all doing the same thing within a day or so.   i cant find any solution..    battlefield 5 is the same.

Please roll back what ever you did EA....
