Battlefield 2042 (steam) Wont Launch after EA app. How I fix it!

Just want to share what I did to fix the situation to launch BF 2042 after upgrading to EA app.

My game was ok when using the Origin to launch and after it had been upgraded to EA app. It failed to launch.

I have tried several steps and finally got it to work, though I am not 100% sure which step fixed it.

You do not have to remove the BF2042 game to reinstall it again. I tried and it did not help.

What I have done:

I tried to run the game directly from the folder with admin rights, it used to work but not this time.

Upgrade the GPU driver, it did not work.

I have also followed other posts from everywhere including disabling the windows defender, clearing EA app cache etc.

What I think has helped to fix the issue for me was:

Open the CMD command line tool with admin rights and run sfc /scannow

Go to C:\Users\{here is your username}\Documents\Battlefield 2042, and DELETE the "settings" folder! (You can open and check that the PROFSAVE file was totally unreadable which might cause the issue!)

Restart your PC (maybe optional)!

Launch the game from the shortcut or click steam to start the game.
