Re: BF2042 Wont Launch :eathumbs_down:

Just popping in to say I am having the exact same issue and have tried all the same steps.  Just fresh installed on steam for the first time in a long time. Game doesn't launch.  

I'm kind of in the "give me money back" stage since I literally can't play your game anymore.

UPDATE: It's Webroot anti virus. Paused it temporarily on launch, game started immediately.

Glad you got it to work. I dont use Webroot unfortunately

I'm having the same issue right now.  Last time i ran into this it was Easyanticheat & some weird conflict with Easyanticheat_EOS due to the Darktide release.  I thought i fixed it by just reinstalling easyanticheat.  This time i'm having no luck. I was playing 2 days ago just fine. 

I got mine to work.  EasyAnti-Start was the culprit again.

Fix 2: Now go and clear your AppData\Roaming\EasyAntiCheat

I just deleted that folder, AppData\Roaming\EasyAntiCheat  , and then re-ran the easyanticheat uninstall/install in the BF2042 game folder.

Everything back to normal.

Now can EasyAntiCheat actually ban the cheaters?

wow you are lucky my friend.

I tried that before and it didnt work. 

Just tried it again and no dice. Same behaviour.

Hi all, 

If you're still unable to launch your game, even after following all the detailed steps that were mentioned earlier, it is very well possible that there's something installed on your PC that is causing issues with the game.

If you're experiencing issues with Easy Anti Cheat, I would recommend reaching out to their support via https://www.easy.ac/contact/.
