HELP!! Battlefield 2042 Won't Launch

The Current Issue - Game Won't Launch

I've been through every known troubleshooting recommendation and yet no resolution. I've spent 30+ hours at least at this point and I'm still at a loss. (I even took vacation time from work for crying out loud to make this work)

I haven't posted before and I'm not sure how this works but if there's anyone who's technically inclined out there willing to help, i would be extremely grateful. 

The problem at the moment is not being able to launch. Example of exactly what happens Here.  When I start the game (in Origin), it gets to the EAC loading screen and crashes. I've tried all remedies listed Here. I'm out of ideas at this point

Previous Issues -

Prior to having the above issue of not launching, I was able to start the game and play for about 30 seconds (almost exactly) at which point I would be kicked from the game session (no error message) and placed back in lobby searching for a new server. I could then join another game within seconds only to repeat over and over as many times as I wanted. 

Before that, the game would simply crash my PC via BSOD. This issue was most frustrating as it would come and go. I could play 3 hours no issue, and then crash every time I attempted to load the game (specifically at the Boat screen). 

My System Specs (DxDiag Attached)

  • CPU 5950X AMD

  • GPU 3080Ti NVIDIA

  • 2TB Samsung 980Pro NVME

  • 2x16GB G Skill RAM

  • ASUS ROG MB x570 Dark Hero

  • 1000w ASUS Gold(i think) PSU

  • Custom water loop (All EK fittings/Blocks CPU & GPU)

  • Temps avg around 43C under load. 

  • Lian Li 011D ROG Edition PC Case

  • Normally I am OC'd to 4.6ghz all core with Dynamic OC switching for PBO. However I've got things turned back to stock while I try to troubleshoot. (No DOCH / XMP profile loaded)

    Use the EA launcher and start the game from there for the first time, and the problem is solved.
    Good luck

    I have the game in EGS and what I found that works for me when trying to open the game from EGS, close Origin (opened automatically but didn't launch the game) and delete the .db file located on ...\Documents\Battlefield 2042\cache, the game lauch after that without issues.

    Don't know why EA have to make a requirement to have multiple launchers, I don't have anything against Origin, but come on... Apex and F1 2022 don't have that requirement.

    This is on the older side of time, I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with Battlefield 2042, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
