Re: Battlefield 2042 will not Launch please Help!!

The game also refuses to stay open for me after the 3.1.2 update on 1/17. I bought the game through Steam so it launches the EA App to play. I have tried the following:

EA App Cache clearing
Deleting 2042's cache folder
EasyAntiCheat repair
Steam file verification
Restarting PC after each of these
Reinstalling the game
Launching through the EA App versus Steam

I do not overclock any of my hardware and none of my drivers have changed between today's update and a few days ago when I played 2042 just fine. The game will either crash at the EAC splash screen, or the game window will open but not have a window title, and close after about 5 seconds.

I had the same issue, I got it to work by uninstalling the latest windows security update (KB5022282)
My issue is now though that windows doesn't let me uninstall it.
I've tried all of this aswel, I also just get the 5 seconds after EAC window.

@UB-capSAR So, today I managed to get the game to launch again. The only thing that changed since not working till working was turning off g-sync
