Re: Battlefield 2042 doesn't launch (Steam and EA)

If it is important - battlefield V works launches through EA App without any problem


You purchased BFV thru Steam also?

When you say "used to be launched with steam normally" - About how long were you able to successfully play the game before this issue?

  • No, BF 5 was purchased long ago through the origin.

    I was playing BF2042 last year without any problem. Was playing a lot last month. Never had any problem before.

    That's likely why BFV is working. There have been some issues lately getting games bought on Steam to work.

  • Well, it would make sense to at least research some logs if they are written.

    It is really weird, because I have done nothing between the last successful launch and the next failures. I didn't even restart my PC. Just closed the game, watched a movie and then tried to start the game again.

    The problem was in the КриптоПро (Crypto Pro) Application which is used for digital signature encryption. I have no idea how it is related, but right after deinstallation and reboot i was able to launch the game instantly. It is also weird, because Crypto Pro was installed alongside with battlefield almost a year without any changes to crypto Pro or battlefield configuration. Anyway, maybe this will help someone. Cheers!

    Glad you got it working @MetalRex101.

    PCs are changing weekly, if not daily, without owner intervention. This is what makes troubleshooting games on PCs significantly more difficult than consoles.
