Update 5 - breaks game! Again!

Been playing the past 2 weeks with little problems. Then Update 5 drops today - I update, and attempt to play - EAC screen loads to 100% - I get a brief splashscreen of the game - then crashes to desktop. I've tried EA app recovery, I've cleared the BF2042 cache folder. My drivers are up to date - this is total BS! And 3rd time I've had to go thru this mess.

    AMD Ryzen 5800X

    Nvidia 3090

    32GB RAM

    Never had any issues till the other day

  • Same happening to me... when I first launched into the game on the day S5 dropped it would not even recognise it had to update so had to force a repair... I could then play fine for a while but it would occasionally crash out...

    Not sure whats changed recently (I don't play that often) but now its straight to desktop  while loading into a game...

    I did the usual stuff to trouble shoot even reinstalled the game but still broken

    I hope you find a fix as I am losing the will to live with how many problems games seem to have these days....

    Few quick questions for ya:

    Have you tried a Clean Boot?

    Are you running any sort of VPN service?

    Have you completely uninstalled and reinstalled the game?


    I had this E X A C T same issue for about a week or so and finally found what was going on. I'll link the forum post below for ya. Hopefully with all the stuff we tried- something will help you out!
