URGENT: Battlefield 2042 not launching after AntiCheat – tried all fixes

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with Battlefield 2042 not launching properly. The game starts, initializes EA AntiCheat, sometimes shows “Game is launching” or “Checking for updates”, but then it closes and returns to the EA App without any error message.

Here is everything I have already tried to resolve the issue:

Performed a full clean Windows installation (fresh format)
Installed all latest GPU drivers (NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super)
Installed DirectX and all Visual C++ redistributables
Reinstalled EA App completely (including clearing cache folders)
Repaired the game files via EA App
Completely removed and reinstalled EA AntiCheat (using installer as administrator)
Verified that EA AntiCheat service exists and checked its status
Disabled overlays and background apps (MSI Afterburner, RTSS, Discord, NVIDIA Overlay, etc.)
Tried running EA App and the game as Administrator
Cleared NVIDIA shader cache (DXCache / GLCache)
Reset EA App cache manually
Checked Windows security settings (Core Isolation / Memory Integrity)
Attempted different boot modes (including disabling driver signature enforcement for testing)
Verified there are no crash logs except AntiCheat crash dumps
Tested other games with AntiCheat (they work fine)

Current behavior:
