I did all this as well. Still will not launch. I even have all drivers updated, BIOS updated, latest Win 11, verified local files, reinstalled game through Steam, antivirus (Windows Defender) filtered properly.
Do you guys got any other anticheat installed (for APEX as example ?),
some needed to delete / uninstall that or other easy anticheat (EOS_easyanticheat).
Also make sure windows is not launch / booting any gameplatform during Windows boot !!!
Make sure you only launch / run the gameplatform you did buy BF2042 at.
Right click the shortcut from the gameplatform and select to run as an administrator!
Test game, still issues follow steps below.
Delete EAC manualy:
Press the Windows key + 'E' to open File Explorer.
Press ALT key, select Tools > Folder Options > View, then check Show hidden files, folders, and drives.
Navigate to the following location C:\\Program Files(x86)\EasyAntiCheat\ and delete the files:
