BF2042 has refused to play since the update because of easy anti cheat i uninstalled the game 3 times uninstall eac almost 14 times restarted my laptop 3 times but nothing easy anti cheat is the worst to use .
EAC when it updates 100% can and will conflict with SecureAnywhere. I have also been using that AV software for years without issues. Then had exactly this issue with a conflict with an update of Back4Blood which included an updated EAC. Webroot support sent me a new build which solved the problem. We have exactly the same issue here. It doesn't matter if you didn't have issues before. It seems any game that includes the newest version of EAC will cause that game to not run if SecureAnywhere is installed. I have already contacted Webroot.
If you have Webroot SecureAnywhere installed, BF2042 will not run due to a conflict with the new version of EAC. The only solution is a complete uninstall of SecureAnywhere or wait for a Webroot patch (I have already contacted them.
Try to completely uninstall your AV software (If your game crashes right after the EAC screen). Then run the game.
The BF2021 patch included an updated version of EAC. Webroot did fine with the previous EAC but flagged this new version. I also ran fine before the update. This is exactly what happened with a update of Back4Blood. Webroot updated their software after that patch and the game ran fine. That will happen here also.
Turning off Webroot does not resolve this issue... others with this issue have resolved it by uninstalling which is straight up unacceptable for a AAA title with as much * going wrong to now require me to remove a computer protection just to play.
