Two BF2042 copies, one bought on Origin, the second one on Steam
Hello,
I bought Battlefield 2042 soon after its release and played through Origin. When the game improved after a year, I tried it again, this time with the new EA app launcher. All good.
Then I bought my daughter her copy of the Battlefield 2042 game on Steam sale recently. She installed the game on the same computer. She has her own Win 10 account and her own EA account, as well as a Steam account. At the end of her Battlefield Steam installment, the link between her Steam and EA account was created. All good.
She played the game just to try it out. All Good
Then I log in to my Win 10 account and try to launch my copy of Battlefield 2042. It failed. The EA app refuses to launch the game - it points to the directory where Steam installed my daughter's copy. This must be a bug.
We deinstalled BF2042 from her Steam account and after "reinstallment" of my copy on my win 10 account, on my EA account, my BF2042 copy was again playable.
How do we make both copies, one Steam, one EA, on the same computer on different Win 10 accounts?
Many thanks!
