Hello again,
I don't know if this helps, but I can play normally after the following:
1. Uninstall EA Anti-cheat.
2. Reboot
3. Install EA Anti-cheat.
4. Update EA Anti-cheat.
If I exit the Battlefield 2042 application and restart the Battlefield 2042 application, the connection issue re-occurs. To play again, I have to do steps 1-4 again.
Cheers,
Can verify..... this works..... and apparently..... is a "Thing" EA, something is WRONG with your AC Program!

Here is more info to add to this mystery, When I start the game from the EA App, it then creates a Folder called "Game", in it is "httpcache" inside it is a lot of GARBAGE in this folder...... 44 items/files that are just numbers with no file extension. "C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Temp\Game\httpcache\"
So when I start the game using the EA APP, as soon as it creates the "Game" folder, I immediately DELETE it. Whoa and behold ..... I can actually Play the game!!!! I do notice that the game loads MUCH MUCH slower, but I'm happy to say I can get in the game.
@AntiCheatWard , I have proven multiple times now that this "Work Around" works to get me in the game, Hopefuly others read this and try for themselves and help prove me right, so this is a local PC issue that either your AC software or the Game itself is messing with our computers...... What is it and Why?? Can we get a "Coder" from EA to chime in on this??
Looking forward to any type of reply, because this is ridiculous, and this started for me at the beginning of Season 7 of the game.

Yep! This works. It solved my issues and allows me to play as well.
Cheers!
@CLOWNVID-19 pay close attention to your TEMP folder, I forgot to add that it will try and recreate that “Game” folder again.
Also, try uninstalling the anti cheat first, reboot, when you log back in, open your %temp% folder and delete everything in it…. But don’t close the window on that folder….. keep it open. Now start the game from the EA App and wait for the AC UAC window to pop up and ask you to install AC. Keep a close eye on your %temp% folder for the “Game” folder to be created, as soon as you see it “Delete” it and wait for the game to load. It’s not a fool proof fix…. It might take you 2 or 3 times to make it work….. but so far for me…. It works.
@AntiCheatWard thanks for the follow up and the comment, I hope this gets resolved soon
WARNING PLAYERS!!!! I got this email from EA, blocking access to Battlefield. I HAVE NEVER CHEATED! Help @AntiCheatWard, @l4sof1 ! Please!!
Installing and deleting files must cheater activity. I have only followed actions taken by others in this thread. I also noted my attempts. This is rubbing salt in an open wound!
@2004RoadKing Are you saying that by deleting the “Game” folder in your user %TEMP% folder has gotten you banned?? If so, How many games have you played before you got banned?? I’ve played at least 3+ hours of this game since I found this “work around” to play the game. And if I do get banned, my lousy game stats should prove I don’t cheat. Hopefully you get unbanned and this issue gets fixed sometime soon!

Well, A new day, a new struggle to play the game. What was working yesterday, apparently no longer works today 😑. What I noticed today is that the “Game” folder is first created when the blank “dos/cmd” screen first pops up (it looks like the battlefield executable starts) to get the game started. So I delete the folder, once I get connected to “connecting to online services” is when the second “Game” folder is created again…… so again….. I delete it. Well after going thru all the motions….. the game will just keep dropping me 45 seconds after connecting to online services……… the 10 seconds to reconnect…… 45 seconds until I drop again.
I’m at a loss as to what this game or the EA App is injecting into my PC but something is going on. I’m not a programmer who can debug this game, but I’ve been in IT a long time to know how to troubleshoot applications and networking but, right now I feel like a Beta Tester who is going crazy trying to figure out what’s wrong with my equipment when In reality….. it’s something a programmer did to this game that is singling out a type of nic card or processor or even a weird DLL that only a few of us out in game land might just happen to have on our gaming rigs.
By the time I actually do get in game, if ever again now, I’m too GD exhausted to even want to play 😑. EA, I’ll help troubleshoot this issue more…… but this is getting old and tiresome now.
@AntiCheatWard I have a real sneaky suspicion that one (possible more) of the programmers for the Game or the App made some type of change(s) to the game and didn’t tell you boys & girls in the Anti-Cheat department about it. Now people like @2004RoadKing, myself and god knows how many other players out there who have just given up on trying to play are affected by this issue. I’ll gladly open my PC (RDP, Windows Quick Assist, TeamViewer) to you or a support person at EA to try and nail down this very annoying issue and get a fix once and for all.

@Tesmont do you really think people are really going to reinstall or. Run a second instance of Windows every time this happens…..?? That makes zero sense. That would be like buying a new tire every time you got a flat Instead of finding out why you got the flat, fixing it and then avoiding the route or area you took that got you the flat in the first place. Something this game is doing is causing this and the root issue/cause needs to be found, if you ignore it, history will repeat itself.

@AntiCheatWard Any update on this issue?? This is the only game I play, would like to play. it'd be nice to play..... but I cant play it. I've said it before and Ill say it again..... maybe someone from your side can jump only my rig and have a poke around to see WHY this game constantly connects, disconnects, connects.... over and over and over......I'm turning into a crazy person here ..... and frankly.... I don't like it!
I've been having the same issue as the other people in this thread (haven't been able to play for over a year) and i've attempted every single fix posted in this thread and more, if theres any sort of data or anything of the like that I can provide that will possibly help resolve this issue for us please let me know. Thanks for still trying to help after all this time.
let me know 👍
I also have been having this issue for several years. Both with 2042 and BFV. It started with BFV before the pacific theatre update
Maybe inform those guys too
As well as the thousands of other customers this is probably affecting.
Fresh install on a Windows 11 machine, 0 issues.
On Windows 10, the same issue: "Unable to connect" after 5 to 6 minutes of gameplay, then "Unable to connect" every few minutes even in the menus.
Any updates on this?
Apparently my issue was fixed by closing my VPN, which I only had a select few programs run through. I have no idea why that would've affected it since none of my games go through it, and the issue started before I ever even used a VPN. Hopefully this helps a few others
And here i am on win 11 and not using any form of VPN or anything like that.... strange
