That's unbelievable. I also own BF V on the same Steam account, and it runs perfectly on my PC with my 1 gigabit internet speed. So, what's wrong with BF 2042, which is newer? I am from Ukraine, but so are other people who bought this game, and they don't have to deal with this madness. I think this forum is the last place where I could find a solution, and as you say, there is none. But I will not give up, as I still have some ideas about what to do. I will try to download BF 2042 to my laptop too; if it works fine there, I will have to reinstall Windows completely. If that doesn't work, I will refund BF 2042 and try to buy it on my second Steam account. But if, after all those actions, it still gives me an error, then I am never dealing with EA and their products again. It's funny that I am willing to go so far to play this stupid game, lol
