Sent back to main menu when server/map tries to load

Hello all, common but stubborn issue here. Please only reply if you have some fixes or info. If you have the issue too, please make a new thread so support staff see the forum traffic and forward info to devs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BF2042, i clear cache for EA and Steam, i validate its Steam files, i launch 2042 via steam, it loads and announces that it has connected to the EA servers, i then confirmed that EA anticheat is running in the background. PS, Windows Defender Firewall has allowed BF2042 on both public/private.

I will search a game type, usually conquest 128, the game searches for a server and finds one, shows me the map-type and then counts down 3, 2, 1 etc, then goes to the loading screen

About 1 minute later the game sends me back to the main menu. Every time.

When i try and validate again, i get the same "3 files failed to validate" message

I have searched "3 files failed to validate" and tried alot of the forum fixes. Cant get this one fixed on my own.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wild idea here - wouldn't it be funny if alot of people wanted to play BF2042, but they had this networking problem, gave up, and thats the reason why the player count is so low?!?!? I liked 2042 tbh, but ive had this issue years in the past and now have it again with a new build. Looking forward to playing again.

    Have had that for a couple of months now with different drivers and two clean os installations. Poor written codes. The game is in a horrible state

  • Uninstalling and reinstalling EA worked, seemingly randomly.....for about 4 days. Its been another 4 days with the exact same problem and ive been trying everything all over again. No progress.

    I just did that GetEm and it worked for like 4 minutes and it started happening again. Bf2042 - Rush game mode :(

  • Very odd fix discovered. I loaded a single-player game, with just bots. That loaded properly (full map preview loading screen, not a black loading screen). Then, when i quit and tried doing Conquest 128....it worked! Weird AF.

    Please try this yourself and let me know if it works.
