Re: battlefield 2042 Wont Launch

Haven't played for nearly a week, but trying to run the game from Steam starts EA App, running BF2042 from there just closes and reopens EA App after a short delay.  No sign of even the BF2042 loading screens.

Today I have  Updated nVidia drivers and Windows 11 drivers, so those are the  only recent changes to my system.

I have just;

Checked Steam integrity - fine.
Cleared Steam download Cache, no change
Set executables to run as Admin, no change
Uninstalled and reinstalled BF2042 with EA App and still getting the same.

Event Viewer shows no errors, are there any logs with the EA App?
Any other things to try?

Update:
Disabled Settings\Gaming Mode
In MSconfig, turn on Selective Startup, turned off 'Load Startup Items'  and disabled all non-microsoft Services, then rebooted.
I was prompted to enable EABackground Service when I tried to start the game ('cos of EA App) but still no joy.
My conclusion so far is either Windows update or an issue with EA App right now as I am at a loss.

Same issue here, played it yesterday and it was fine, updated BF2042 today (had to, forced) and now the game doesn't even launch.

I really do wonder what the testing strategy for BF2042 releases are as every single update is always botched.  There's always new bug and bugs from the alpha and beta launch still aren't fixed!  Every new addition to the game is broken in some way shape or form. Be it a new map, new mode, new character, new weapon, new vehicle.  Like, do they even test the game AT ALL?

I'm not going to try any of the previously mentioned fixes here as none are known to work and it's a waste of my time, like having to write this also is...

I'm just going to wait for the 4.0.2 patch or a rollback to 4.0.0 as that's probably the only thing that will fix it.

What I found on PC is that when you launch it and the anti-cheat loads, if you are not asked by windows if you want to run it...if you don't get that prompt, then the game closes.  If you do get the prompt asking if you want to run the anti-cheat, then the game will launch.

BUT, every freaking update now the game will only run for 10 minutes, then crash to desktop, no error message.  I assume that this will get resolved magically like in the past, but still its pretty crap that this happens.

Found in another thread and it has worked.  Thanks @RealZeupiter 

in the Game Folder
BF2042.exe & BF2042_launcher.exe, right click, properties, Digital Signatures tab, double click the entry in the signature list, press the View Certificate button and Install Certificate.(Next, Next, Finish).

in the Game \ EasyAntiCheat folder,  I did the same for the two visible DLL files.

I can play!
EDIT: Does not survive a reboot though.  I suspect EA App resets the easyanitcheat files and the certificates then do not register.
