    @Rokebo73This is since the latest update. However I did install a new application with ring 0 integration on my PC (VeraCrypt).

    There are no drive errors, nor am I missing any updates (Windows and drivers). FSC did not find any errors or corrupt files in Windows.

    Will try today without Veracrypt installed.

    Edit:

    After uninstalling VeraCrypt and rebooting the problem got worse. Now I am unable to joining a game anymore. The files become corrupted before I am even able to join a match making the game unplayable. After verifying, again 3 files are corrupted and retrieved but to no avail.

    I checked the steam forums, there are several other people also having this issue and being unable to join any match.

    Still no errors in Windows or other corrupt files.

    @Rokebo73  Hi Man, Do you have any idea why this is happening to me. My FC 25 when I opened it always stuck on the menu with this black colour screen. Do you know what to do?

    I haven't had the time to test further.
    Will try to see if I can find out which files get corrupted an if they are the same 3 files every time. Additionally and depending on the files, I will try and make them read-only to see if that helps. But as it seems they have to do with some element of match making/joining, I think that making them r/o will break more than it will help.

    Anyway, will update more when I have time to play around with this. Full time jobs/kids and life and stuff.

    Ok lets delete files and check drives again:

    Steam,

    1. Open your Steam app.
    2. Click on the “Steam” menu in the top left corner.
    3. In the drop-down menu, select the “Settings” option if you’re using a Windows PC or “Preferences…” if you’re using a Mac.
    4. Select “Downloads” from the left sidebar.
    5. In the “Clear download cache” section, find the “Clear cache” button and click on it.
    6. In the next window, click “Confirm.”

    Once you confirm deletion, your Steam account will shut down, do not log in again to play games.


     

     

    EA APP,

    1. Go to the EA app’s menu.
      • On Windows, select the three dashes in the far-left corner of the EA app.
      • On macOS, click Help at the top of the screen, then choose App Recovery.
    2. Scroll to Help.
    3. Click App recovery.
    4. Select Clear cache.
    5. do not log in to play games.

    Now delete EA AC files and folders,

    delete content at:

    C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\D3DSCache

    C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\EA

    C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\EAAntiCheat.Installer.Tool

    C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\EasyAntiCheat

    C:\ProgramData\eaanticheat

    C:\Program Files\EA

    C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2042\EAAntiCheat  (<-- install location can be different at youre system, check for install location !!!!)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield 2042\EAAntiCheat  (<-- install location can be different at youre system, check for install location !!!!)

    Now lets check windows for any errors:

    SFC - Windows Health Check

    Press Windows key + 'R' ,typ CMD
    Press and hold down CTRL + SHIFT and press ENTER.
    When User Account Control shows up, click Yes.
    Use the following command lines, pressing Enter after each

    sfc /scannow

    Now reboot your system
    Start EA APP and/or steam , Repair the game or Run the game (start BF2042), it will download and update to latest Game and EA AC.
    Restart app/game maybe needed.
