Unable to launch BF2042

Hi: I just bought and downloaded 2042 yesterday. Bought it through paypal, from EA. The game won't start. It tries to, gets to the first game screen that is black and then just shuts down and goes back to my Origin home page.

    And most importantly thank you for the patience. 

    When did you start observing this issue if I may ask? I may have some additional questions later on as we get a better understanding of the issue.
