    @HeroCllass

    Do you have BF2042 installed on a separate drive from the Origin Client and EAC? I've seen some cases in the past where that has led to similar errors. 

  • Hello

    Thank you for the reply

    No the games and origin are installed on the same drive

    BUT

    the drive is a PCIE  ICYDOCK drive - no sata drives on the system

  • I have the same issue as @HeroCllass 

    My scenario is that my Windows 11 got broken by a major update. So I installed a fresh Windows 11 install on a new NVMe drive .

    I only installed Windows + Updates, AMD Chipset drivers, latest NVIDIA driver (the same driver I was using yesterday before I reinstalled), Steam + Origin.

    I can  all other BF games and other EAC games like Apex Legends, except BF2042.

    Hello

    Hi 5 

    I am not longer alone in the world!

    now lets see how we get around this.....

    it cant be EAC becaues it works in about 6 other games i play.....

    it would be nice if EA/developer would do a clean install of windows on a new machine and test install.....maybe windows broke something in an update

    Hey all,

    I appreciate the updates. 

    Can you double-check to make sure there isn't another instance of EAC running in the background when you're trying to launch BF2042? If it's still running that can cause this error. 

    If you see EAC in your task manager end the task then try launching the game again. Let me know if that makes any difference. 


    If you're still getting an error when you're trying to launch the game please let me know if you're still getting error 30005, or if it's a different error. Thank you! 

  • Yes!

    there was a EAC.exe running in the background - so i ended it and did a repair

    so no more EAC error.

    but once again - when launching the game EAC launches with bf logo but then just crashes - so no play

    but at least it installs correctly

  • Got welcomed today with this screen, Battlefield 4 MP, GTAV and co are all running well. So it is not my pc nor internet connection 🙂

    @EA Kent

    That is correct sir

    The BF2042 logo appears with the EAC anti cheat loading bar - once the loading bar reaches the end it crashes back to oririgin screen

    no error, nothing

    would you like me to record it for you? i can then upload it so you can see what is happening

  • I have the same issue. I have been searching the forums and looking for a solution for a long time now. I have tried everything I have seen here in these forums to correct this issue. The game has worked for me briefly a few times but was crashing and now it won't even load on both my PC and my gaming laptop. It shows the EAC screen with the loading bar then dumps me back to Origin after 5-10 seconds. REALLY would love to play this game.

    Can you try the following. @HeroCllass

    Try starting Origin as an admin, then click on repair the game. At the end of the repair, you should get the EAC splash, and then it closes and Origin should say that the game is ready to be played.

    Okay so I just helped my friend solve this *.
    Its going to sound redundant but first video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46HzCqTva34 

    So it seems like the people saying delete the .sys file were on the right track. BUT
    Apparently you need to also go to your System32 file and EAC will have dumped a file there also. You need to delete both the one in System 32 (Thus the "Error code 30005 [Failed create end with 32} name)  and in the x86 EAC file. 
    Spent last 3 days (About 5 hours a day) troublehshooting all this *. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Pls lmk if it worked cause I have been seeing this error everywhere apparently for years.

    Hi, I found a solution that is worth trying to anyone go to services find the; EasyAntiCheat > Right Click Change from Manual to Automatic >  Launch the game and click start at the exact same time in the window the game will launch and you'll not need to do this again.
