Just a thought; is BF2042 the only game, with EAC, that does this? Do you have the option to test it with other Online Multiplayer games that have EAC?

It's the only game I have that does this. I have Xbox Game Pass on PC, so if there's any other EA titles that use EAC on that I could try then let me know and I could see.
I wonder if it's something firewall related, either Windows Firewall or PNP rules for the routers? If I installed and started the game on NIC1 but then have installed and use as the primary NIC2 then I wonder if Easy is not liking that? I might try reinstalling just to see, as I have added NIC2 (which is now primary) more recently. I did try uninstalling and installed EAC again through it's own setup.exe but no luck.

@fearlessfrog, yeah there is actually another EA title with EAC; Apex Legends. It is a f2p game, so maybe you can try it with that & see if you get the same issue?
If that is the case, it is very well possible that EAC itself has an issue.I tried it a played a few rounds. Eventually (after about 20 mins) it did disconnect me when I was spectating a game. I guess it would be EAC not liking two NICs - is there somewhere better to report that?
- EA_Leeuw@fearlessfrog, ah, alright! Awesome that you could test that and pretty much noticed the same result. I indeed think it is an EAC issue in that case. EAC have their own support centre where you can submit these findings: https://www.easy.ac/en-us/support/.
I will also pass it on to our teams here for visibility.
