Re: BF2042 wont launch after EAC Splash. No error!

@EA_Leeuw However as u merged it with my initial problem. I‘ll paste the solution worked for me

Believe it or not -> It works!!
I‘m not sure it was the clean Win11 install as i had no other problems.

I also did something different with the EA App. And now i think i know what u ment by „dont install ea or Origin “.

So After i installed every neccesary drivers, steam and Battlefield i FirstTime-launched BF through steam as i did before but this time i didnt get the error „EA App is neccesary to Launch BF“ instead steam installed ea App and i didnt had to logon.

After that anticheat asked for permission-> Granted, splash occured, bar went 100% and the Game just freaking started…can‘t believe it after that much time i‘ve spend.

On the other Hand it doesnt make that much sense to Not be allowed to install EA/Origin before the Firstlaunch of Battlefield. Also if delete every Trace of EA and EAC before the clean install, steam gave an error and told me to install EA-App as i clicked the play Button.

So my second guess is that there was some Folder / User Permission conflict as my System was 2 Years old and i had many different Enterprise Programms (wich Are Not thought to run on Personalcomputers) like PLC‘s and PDM Programs and also Developer Functions active as i use my PC Not just for gaming but also for schooling.

    @spielas1elf windows dont need to display any error , if there are issues with hard and software !
    Some times its a "silent" hidden error !
    A clean install (or even repair/update) windows is very often the solution to solve all kind of problems !

    Good you solved issues with new windows 11

    Have fun , game on !!!

  • didnt work mate. had already done that before tried it again and its no worked again.

    also EAC and EA are radio silent on the issue no mmatter how many reports etc sent.
