    This is what I did to resolve my issue. 
    Link steam account --> Origin account
    Exit / close both desktop apps.
    Relaunch both steam and Origin apps
    Using the origin application navigate over to the left sidebar and click on browse games --> Battlefield ->BF2042 -> View in library ->Download.

    @TwitchTri_Bolt Are you able to use Origin to download / pre-load? Steam leverages the Origin app anyway as the launcher...

    Do you have ea play through steam or origin? steam doesnt have bf2042 as well as many other games... only way is to get ea play through origin not steam
