Hmm have you check your fire wall and any third party antivirus if they are blocking EAC or BF?
OS file check + repair:
Open command prompt (admin) and type this in:
dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
Hit enter and do the same for:
sfc /scannow
Then tell me the results of the scans.
Will do. I'll be able to run this later this evening. I do remember running these scans previously with pretty much uneventful results but i will forward along for sure.
Also in terms of AV or Firewall, I don't use any 3rd part AV or Firewall software. Just windows stuff.
In terms of allowing apps through the firewall, i assume i would need to allow the BF Launcher and EAC?
Thanks again for thelp... I will circle back with results of test and screenshots of AV / Firewall allowances
Performed both scans - see screen shot below. Attempted BF42. No change in behavior ☹️ still crashes after EAC loading screen.
So good news. I was finally able to figure out solution to getting into the game every time.
If I start up Origin as Administrator, it works every time.
It does NOT work for me when launching the game itself as Administrator. I need to first open Origin as Admin, then I can launch the game no problem.
The bad news is that I'm still having constant crashing every time i'm at the connecting screen (The Boat scene).
Do you think i should start a new thread and close this one? Now that this is resolved?
Nah, lets keep going.
