I consistently receive the following error code about five minutes into gameplay: 1:4688822970: -4685921B. I'm running a dual-boot system with Windows 10 (22H2) and Ubuntu. I've already tried switching DNS servers, reinstalling the anticheat software, reinstalling the game, enabled secure boot, and disabling background applications, but the issue persists. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
You can try removing all trusted devices from your EA account.

Then log out of your EA account in the EA app, then log back in.
Was 2042 purchased on Steam store or EA app store?
Purchased in Steam
I removed all trusted devices and logged out of the EA app, but I'm still getting the same connection error.
Was poking around for older posts saw one suggest maybe some firewall stuff? Not the SAME code but worth a peek: 1:3300j:4688822970:100j504e | EA Forums - 6979277.
Were you able to play just fine on the dual boot system for a while before or is the system or the game a newer change?
I did whitelist EA javlin and the game so i think the firewall would not be the issue.
I was able to play SW battlefront 2 with no problem so I can play other EA games fine but for some reason BF2042 just kicks me off half way into the game.
SHV1NCTER Do you happen to have an Asus router?

Fun fun fun. Ok more digging and found some old forum posts both EA and Steam: What is error code 1:4688822970:-4685921b? | EA Forums - 6980771 and 1:4688822970:-4685921B Error :: Battlefield™ 2042 General Discussions so we got a few different approaches. EA one says verify and disable overlay, steam one goes into Registry.
Seems this is a weird one.
I have att fiber(BGW320-500) modem w/ eero router(eero Pro 6E)
I did go to both of these forums and tried both approaches but no luck
SHV1NCTER is the BGW320-500 setup in IP Passthrough mode so it hands over router control to the eero Pro 6E?
If not then your gaming PC is probably double NAT and that might be causing connection issues.
Here's some videos on how to enable IP Passthrough mode on the BGW320-500.
The AT&T website also has instructions for how to setup IP Passthrough mode.
