[solved]BF2042 will not start/launch

Battlefield 2042 will not launch from Steam or Origin
Battlefield 4 will not download in Origin.

The small EAC window loads then closes. Game never opens. EAC tries a second time. Same thing. This time EAC rests and Origin window opens. No errors are presented. All my other games are working fine, including multiple COD titles, Rust, Fortntie, Bad Company 2 from Origin, etc

I've tried reboot, reinstall of Origin, Battlefield 2042, Steam, Windows 10 Pro,  I've cleared steam cache, reset everything to factory defaults, ran DirectX installers, C++ installers, etc, even installed all of these on the other SSD.

What is going on here?

Intel 12900K
Sapphire RX 6800 XT driver version 22.9.2

32GB DDR4-4000MHz

Western Digital 1TB SN850 nVME m.2 (x2)
Windows 10 Pro

EVGA 1600W Platinum PSU

Custom water cooled

Thanks for reading.

UPDATE: Unplugging 2nd 1440p monitor allowed the game to start. Not sure if it's a full fix as I want the 2nd screen. But just for information!
