Help Needed (Error code: 1:4688822970: -4685921B) for BF2042

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.

    Hmm, I will list everything I've done that may have contributed to the fix in my case. 

    The things I have underlined are the fixes I listed in the previous post I made.

    • Updating EA Anticheat
    • Repairing EA Anticheat (same way as updating, just clicking repair in the EA Anticheat installer software)
    • Allowing battlefield into the firewall (both private and public)
    • Allowing all EA related applications into the firewall (both private and public)
    • Allowing EA Anticheat and EA Javelin Anticheat into the firewall (both private and public)
    • Adding Windows Defender exclusions to the Battlefield game folder and EA desktop folder
      1. In Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Virus & threat protection settings Exclusions > Add an exclusion > Folder
      2. Add C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop
      3. Add C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield 2042
    • Command prompt network commands
      1. Press the Windows key and enter "cmd" and run as administrator
      2. Paste the following and press Enter
        • ipconfig /flushdns
        • ipconfig /registerdns
        • ipconfig /release
        • ipconfig /renew
        •  netsh winsock reset
      3. restart pc
    • Give both anticheat services admin permissions through properties
    • Setting dns client from disabled to automatic

    I am not sure which of these are necessary, but I listed all of them anyway.
