@Rokebo73 I've been thinking. Is there a step by step method to completely uninstall any and all traces of BF2042 from my system? I don't mean a simple uninstall. Because I find it weird that only this specific game does not seem to work even doing a fresh reinstall. And verification is not doing anything either. It could be a GPU driver incompatibility but I don't have the skillset to dive down deep into code to find anything. I only mentioned GPU driver since it was the last major update I did before the game went broken.

    @ELxSIGINT yes with REVOUNINSTALLER.
    Ill use the portable version, if ya start revouninstaller, ya need to start it as an admin.
    then click the software/program ya want to uninstall (make sure ADVANCED is checked as soon ya clicked to uninstall, it will scan for registry key and file/folders).
    Click the SCAN button to scan for any leftovers and delete them.
    After uninstall ya need to reboot system.

    Fot gpu driver uninstall, ya need to pre download ddu and gpu driver first.
    Now disconnect PC from internet !!!!!
    Then in settings / apps ya uninstall gpu driver.
    Then bootup windows in safemode (with NO network)
    Then run the program DDU (pre download also) and uninstall/delete any GPU drivers leftover.
    After uninstall reboot system (make sure there is no internet connection available) and install new GPU driver!

    Why boot without network -->> else windows Update will download and install a gpu driver <--- and we dont want that 😉

    Cheers

    @ZAYZ007 I have tried all mentioned solutions without any luck. Very odd that EA is not more(at all) involved in pursuing a solution for this issue.

    Cancelling my EA subscription and giving up on this game. Appreciate the help and advice guys
