What is Error Code 1:4688822970:-4685921B - A cry for help...

Hi team, I have a problem where i am receiving Error Code 1:4688822970:-4685921B about 5-10 mins into game.  I have even done a complete system reinstall and it did not help. I have seen some people say it is anti cheat related but still have not seen an official answer what this error is. Several cannot play the game because of this issue and i would really appreciate some help here.  

Here is what i have tried so far: 

All options on the EA help page for reconnecting. 

Countless forum searches which lead me to using different DNS settings

using a hotspot 

Multiple game reinstalls / repairs 

windows reset - got rid of every app except Xbox / EA and BF2042

firewall settings both windows and ATT 

translating Russian forums on here to see what they did - going through the dns flush settings through ipconfig etc. 

Thanks for your help

    Yes - I have scoured these forums as well -  i do not  have the ID reader software and nothing like it on my end -  I did a complete reinstall of windows as well to delete all programs - literally the only thing on my comoputer was EA app- Xbox app cause i have BF through game pass and the game files

    Yeah, there are some other things showing up in the Diagnostics section of the report you may want to check out. While I'm not convinced they are causing this particular issue, resolving them may help you in the future.

    You mentioned you checked the Russian forum. What about this English forum? There are solutions others have posted like this one.
