Re: Failed to start the game (2)

I had the same issue and also use Webroot. I went so far as to reset my PC and reinstall Windows. But I was still getting the error even though Webroot was not installed after the reset. But I did have a Webroot Chrome extension installed and there were a few Webroot services running in msc.services still. I removed all traces of Webroot including the extension and now I can play BF 2042 again.
