Re: [FIXED] BF2042 Steam - Season 6 Patch Stuck on 'Validating Game Files'

Hello everyone,

Please be aware that this AHQ thread is specifically for this issue and not for any other problems.

The EA app dev teams have released a new version of the EA app that addresses the issue of the BF2042 Season 6 Patch on Steam getting stuck in the 'Validating Game Files' loop.

To ensure that you receive the fix promptly, please attempt to manually update the EA app by following the steps provided here. After updating, open the EA app before launching Steam and check if the update for Battlefield 2042 Season 6 on Steam now installs correctly. The fixed version of the EA app is 13.45.0 and higher.

Please inform us if you are now able to install the patch without any issues and without needing to perform an EA app Recovery.

Thank you.

  • This new version of the EA app did absolutely nothing to fix the issue of the game loading up and working for me, please issue me a refund as I am tired of jumping through hoops trying to get your game to run.

    Hi @l_Marvilous_l,

    I understand that you're facing an issue with the EA app. However, I believe you might have posted about it in the wrong thread. This thread is for BF2042 Steam - Season 6 Patch Stuck on 'Validating Game Files' as the title suggests, and not about being unable to launch the game.

    To get the appropriate help, I suggest posting your concern in a thread dedicated to the particular problem you're having. You can either search for relevant threads yourself or make use of the AHQ search function to find the appropriate place to post your issue.

    Thanks.

  • Hello I brought the new bf recently. and strange thing it forced an update of the EA app even though I run it through steam. I have yet to play this game because it will refuse to load at all. I have done the app recovery you keep saying to do this this thread nothing at all. I have ran it as Admin, I have removed the cache files. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I installed the old origin and let it update. Still nothing. I am starting to think that EA do not care as long as they get the money for the game. I have gone on youtube and gone though this thread and many others. Nothing works. It states it prepares the game. then just refreshes the EA app on the screen baring in mind I have not opened the EA app. I AM RUNNING THIS THROUGH STEAM!!!
    If anyone at EA has an actual fix for this. that is not reinstall or any other stuff that is already posted on here please... write it out as if directing a 5 year old on how to do it.
