Re: EA anticheat error 117

First of all, I'm sorry about my poor English.

I have a problem with starting BF2042 after last update.

Everytime I tried start BF2042, error msg pop up on screen and BF not started.

I'm on EA original version (not steam version)

"EA AntiCheat Service encountered an error. Please restart the game(116)"

A screenshot attached (Korean language)

What I tried to do:
1) check file integrity in EA App
2) clearing EA App cache
3) reboot PC
4) launch EA App and BF2042 with administrator rights

5) reinstall both EA App and BF2042

6) reinstall both EA App and BF2042 in another ssd drive

and nothing helped.

Please help about this. Thanks

    I wonder why my post(#6) is put together here. My problem is error "116" not "117". Anyway, unfortunately @Lallluk his solution doesn't work for me.

    Good afternoon,

    I recently reinstalled 2042 and I cannot get it to run. Every time I launch the game I get this popup.
     
    Error

    I tried various fixes suggested in these forums and on reddit including enabling secure boot/TPM.
    Running EA APP and game as Admin.
    Running game with different compatibility.
    Reinstalled game on another drive and verify files.
    Cleared cache and temp files.
    Uninstalled and reinstalled EA App with revo.
    DISM++ cache clear.
    Installing EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe and EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.dll certificates. 
    Uninstalling and reinstalling and repairing the AC with EAAntiCheat.Installer.Tool.exe.

    None of these fixes worked.
    I am on windows 10 22H2. I5-13600K 32GB RAM 3060TI all latest drivers.

    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

    1) check file integrity in EA App
    2) clearing EA App cache
    3) reboot PC
    4) launch EA App and BF2042 with administrator
    5) reinstall both EA App and BF2042
    6) reinstall both EA App and BF2042 in another ssd drive
    7) remove and install BF2042 EAAntiCheat
    8) update BF2042 EAAntiCheat
    9) reinstall EAAntiCheat.exe
    10) DISM++ cache clear

    And it is not fixed.
