[PC] Unexpected Error (Another Launcher Is Already Running)

I've been trying to launch 2042 for 12 hours now through Origin. I get the Easy Anti-Cheat window pop-up showing that the game is loading. Then a second Anti-Cheat window opens up on top of it (2 Startup Windows) with the first one saying:

"Unexpected Error (Another Launcher Is Already Running)" So I close that window.

The second window continues to load after I close the first one, then I get the error:

"Game client encountered an application error" along with "Error Code: 14 (Game client encountered an application error. (Error Code: 14)). as a separate window.

I've been surfing the internet all day looking for answers. I've followed every guide for the issue as well as similar issues, did a fresh install of both 2042 and Origin, made sure my windows is up to date, checked firewall settings, reset my PC, changed startup settings, and had multiple live-chats with EA Help. All of those resulted in nothing.

This is very disappointing to say the least, I've attached images of every error message I receive. Hopefully anyone who has experienced this can shed some light here.

  • this bs is unacceptable i waited all day to play well all week and now this bs 

  • I am having a similar error but the error codes I get are either #25 or #15.  But it all starts with the double launch.  

    FYI, I have been playing since day 1 of the early release and only encountered this problem this morning.  

  • Done this. Not going to waste my time giving you guys a Dx file because you will give the same B.S. response with no effort or even give a solution within the same bug-type. Your game is a 2 month old alpha build that you tried selling off as a full product. Already refunded, but thanks for getting back to me days later! 🙂
