- @sk1lld What is that mean and how could I do this? Since I bought this game at Steam, so even I tried to repair it on Origin it automaticly went on steam platform. I even tried to delete EasyAntiCheat folder and run files check on Steam, it would't work either, the same error message always appear when I try to launch the game again and again
@zhaojinlong4did ya run STEAM as an administrator ?
could also make a screen of the erro please !This time, both Steam and Origin were launched as administrator. Still the same error message again.
These are Simplified Chinese, I translated in my previous review.
Be sure Steam doesnt boot toghether with Windows !
Steps for Steam

Right-click Steam shortcut select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR and then find and click on the Library.

Restart the game after the process ends to see if it still crashes.

Update us if issues still exist !- @Rokebo73 Error still exist. Perhaps I have to reinstall the entire Windows 11 22H2 system
- @Rokebo73 I made a screen record video to show that I've done as you mentioned, but the video size is too big to upload. I wonder if there is another way to share to you
- @zhaojinlong4 To repair a Steam game.
Launch Steam>open game library>right click BF2042> select verify game files. - @zhaojinlong4 Like you said yourself it may be time to bite the bullet and reinstall the OS. I would back up any important files install the OS and updates then only install new drivers, Steam and BF2042 nothing else. You can then install your programs one at a time and check if BF2042 still works. I don't know if a repair install would work with all the programs, you have installed but you could try that first, I guess.
Did you try a clean boot already first? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd
This would eliminate any background programs interfering with BF2042 - @zhaojinlong4 Yes do what @SKILLD said. Reinstall windows, update and only install steam and BF2042, then test again.
I also think something got broken in your windows. Probarly is your registry messed up.
Tell us what happens after a new updated , clean windows install! I think your system will be faster also again ! - @zhaojinlong4 Good to read !!! Game On !!!
