Hey!
Windows 8.1 does not support DX12 which is why you cannot launch the game. See DirectX: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX
The minimum and recommended specifications of Battlefield 2042 list Windows 10 as the required OS version.
See: https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/game-overview/pc-system-requirements
Can you please try to update your windows version and share if that resolves your issue?
