Well I gave it a shot. I only had 1 file that failed to validate. It might be because I had reinstalled. But I'll play some more and hope it doesn't occur again. Thanks for the tip.
Unfortunately I don't have steam. The Origin app doesn't give a verify option.
- @jrockit77 Its called "repair" in the Origin app, dude..
Validating the files is what worked for me. @Mylitlpwny Thanks so much for the tip. I've been playing for the past 2 days without that issue popping up anymore.
So I'm not day 4 of trying to play this broken game, I've been playing since it was released last year. All of a sudden I cant play the game because of Easy Anti Cheat *. I even went to the extent of Reformatting my whole computer to see if that would fix it. Seemed to start happening right after this new patch. I'm a little irritated at this point. Cant even play a game that i paid for to play. I have tried everyone recommendations
The best part is you cant even put int a ticket with EAC because their ticket form is broken. It will not submit anything. So not only can i not get it to work, i cant even submit a ticket to them to look to see whats causing it
how to verify your game files
- Rokebo733 years agoSeasoned Ace@jubuss do you use steam or origin ?
Steps for Origin
Right-click Origin shortcut, select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR and choose My Game Library from the left panel.
Tap Battlefield 2042 from the drop-down menu.
Click on the gear icon next to the Play button and click Repair.
Restart the game after finishing the integrity check process.
Steps for Steam
Right-click Steam shortcut select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR and then find and click on the Library.
Right-click Battlefield 2042 from the list and choose Properties.
Click on Local Files in the left panel and choose Verify integrity of game files.
Restart the game after the process ends to see if it still crashes. - @Mylitlpwny If I go to validate through steam it still happens. And I can validate again and again. It's not a one time thing. Can you help me because I'm gonna break something soon because of the * state this game is in since EA took over the franchise
- Rokebo733 years agoSeasoned Ace@Davoo82 please make a new topic with your isseu, also post youre dxdiag , and if possible a screenshot from error !
Its the game and easy anticheat. Been playing since release without issues. Disabling ghub, steelseries software, icue rgb, verifying/repairing game files, reinstalling game. The problem always resurfaces, sometimes I get a few rounds in but always comes back.

It's possible you need to white list EasyAntiCheat / Virus Scanner / Firewall ect ect,
it can block or make violations / issues in some cases! - @Rokebo73 Sorry Origin!

Reboot your system
Do not boot Origin with Windows, , Start Origin manually AS ADMINISTRATOR - @Rokebo73 Worked like a champ.
