I finally found the problem

Ok so for the past couple of months i have been getting kicked regularly in BF2042 3 or 4 times before i could play

The problem was the anti virus software

I have ccleaner installed and it does not like EAC, it keeps stopping it running after a few seconds to a couple of minutes

AVG and bitdefender also have issues

1- open your antivirus

2- go to Allow list or Exclusions

3 Add Easy Anticheat exe and dll files

4- Start game and play without getting kicked

You can check the problem by going to Task Manager then Services Tab, scroll down to EasyAntiCheat

Under Status Tab it will say stopped until you start the game up and it will change to running, there will also be a PID code appear

Run the game and keep an eye on the services tab in case it changes to stopped, then you will get kicked

check your anti virus software and add the EAC files to Allow List also the dll files

You should see Allow in settings of your antivirus programs

This should fix most problems

It seems when i verify/repair the game some AV software seems to allow it through, sometimes

If it doesn't you can go to the EAC Whitelist and see if your antivirus is there

There are known issues with certain antivirus programs and EAC

I have been scratching my head for ages over this one but i have now fixed it and added the eac to whitelist or allow on all antivirus software

Because EAC uses Ring0 a lot of the antivirus sees it as a false positive

If your antivirus is not listed allowing the files through should do the trick

There is a lot of help on EAC website

I hope this fixes it for you too
