This feature has been happening to me after 1 and a half rounds give or take. I've reinstalled the game twice; once on a new hard drive. Tried different video cards. Ran it on its own windows profile. But this feature keeps happening. I know there are a lot of features coming and going but this one is the worst. I don't use steam. I don't have issues on BFV. I'm guessing it is a long running quality control issue. But please DICE and EA, instead of fixing this, could you make a new, unwanted cartoon character for us to play on your game that doesn't work?

Uninstalled until the problem is fixed.

- Rokebo733 years agoSeasoned Ace@MEX_it_tk421 did reinstall EAC as an admin ? Do you launch game platform you use as an admin ?

After hours of trial-errors and re try. Turns out it was the anti virus (BitDefender) which was "blocking" EAC. So, after uninstall it completely I was able to play. Thanks for the help.

Hi all,
I have just remembered this one, I have installed the BATTLEFIELD 2042 UPDATE #3.1.0 as soon as was published and after 3 or 4 days installed STEAM at my PC which I had not installed for months although I have games! STEAM wasn't here after I have format my PC last spring I think!
I have search at STEAM directory and couldn't find any Easy Anti-Cheat directory there, I have only STEAM, not a simple game installed from there so far.
Could it be a STEAM Easy Anti-Cheat directory somewhere else and conflicts with the one from BF2042 and causing the error? Just a thought!
Thanks - Rokebo733 years agoSeasoned Ace@Mindaros Its possible a other game with EAC could cause some issues !
The EAC will be installed at: C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat
Rename or Delete folder and content EAC at C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat
The setup files from eac do you find in bf2042 installation folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield 2042\EasyAntiCheat
In this folder is the file: EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe
, right click at thios file and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR
Now do reinstall/repair eac , also make sure you launch steam AS AN ADMINISTRATOR !
Test game and reply with your update please ! - Mindaros3 years agoNew Scout

Hi,
I am not running the game via STEAM, I am having it via EA/ORIGIN and since a week I am running the new EA app.
After my last post I have read the entire topic again to see if I have missed something and at the page 14 if I am not mistaken, I have read your post about this directory with EAC, have checked mine and show 2 folders there,
this one "C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat"
and another one like that "C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat_EOS".
I assume those are EAC installations from STEAM or at least the 1st one, I am not sure what's the 2nd with "EOS" at the end is or from where its coming from, which I have installed after the last BF2042 update and the error came up for the 1st time.
Again, after seeing that I have uninstalled STEAM and delete those 2 EAC folders from "C Drive", did again a repair at the game, also done a repair at the EAC.exe from the folder inside the BF2042 directory.I assume those 2 folders was the problem as you mentioned.
I have run the game 3 or 4 times after that, played online and solo and I have no error!
I'll report back after a while to confirm that its solved which I think it is now!
