Here's how I fixed the multiple issues I was having, after a lot of troubleshooting and zero help from EA:
BF2042 fails to launch with "double check your connection" error:
- Set bf2042.exe, bf2042_launcher.exe and eadesktop.exe to run as admin
- Delete C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat\easyanticheat.sys
NFS Unbound fails to launch with no error:
- Install windows 10 update 22h2 using the windows 10 update assistant tool (since ordinary windows update was failing with a black screen reboot loop). Apparently this update is required for the game to run, although I couldn't find that information anywhere.
