So I Bought Battlefield 2042 Today And When It Was Installed I Launched It And I Got Into The Loading Screen Of The Game And It Kicked Me And The Message"An Error Occured On Our End Please Try Again A Little Later" Popped Up And I Tried All Of These Steps And It Didn't Word
1.Create A New Windows Local Account To Try Launch It From There
2.Cleared The Cache
3.Reinstalled The EA App And Battlefield 2042
4.Repaired Battlefield 2042 And The Game Files
5.Disabled My Anti-Virus
6.Restarted My Laptop
7.Updated To The Latest NVIDIA Drivers
But Still It Wouldn't Work For Some Reason,
So I Just Wanted To Know Is This Happening To Other People Or Is It Just Me Or Is It EA's Fault?
Hi EDD10H_20
A players are currently experiencing the same problem, please try these solutions one by one and let me know if they work.
-> 2042 crashes when joining a game | EA Forums - 12505917
But first, I recommend installing version 577.0 of nvidia, available here → https://www.nvidia.com/fr-fr/drivers/
Let me know !
[I recently posted the same message on another post and that solved the problem]
Same here, Northeast uk
Identical error notification!!
Started at 12ish pm today, worked ok 28th aug
Installed new gpu geforce rtx 5070 16gb
Testing to get the best fps using nvidia app settings,
Tried every fix, clearing cache,disabling overlay
Repair,
Possibly ea servers 🤔
Bf3 works ok
I want to add that, similar to antywantyuk, I am in the same region and have also installed a new GPU, except I installed an AMD GPU, so think the issue might be GPU agnostic and server or region specific. I am not sure.
What happens
I matchmake into Breakthrough (European servers), start playing and then a few minutes into the game I get an error that states that the game is unable to connect with the EA online services. All other internet services works nominally.
DXDiag attached.
"fixed" , def0 GPU driver settings issue
bf2042 failed to launch error at our end(WHICH IS NOT SERVER SIDE) MISSLEADING
NOTHING RELATED TO BF2042 , repairs integrity checks clearing cache reinstalling e a app dont bother in this instance
fix in the nvidia app
go to game within nvidia app, click 3 vertical dots, select : RESTORE DRIVER SETTINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
worked for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
angry that the error is misleading, its client seid you're settings, you would potentially wait for them to fix this
"not at eas end "
Hi,
Thanks for your contribution. As I said, everything is really different for each user. It works for you, but not for others. Still, it's good to have several solutions 💪
Same issue here, started last night
Nothing new installed though, it's just ahppened out of the blue.
Which is annoying, the grind for those Battlefield Cosmetics is bad enough as it is
Actually, just updated my NVIDIA Drivers that's fixed it
Okay, weird but that's done it in my case
Hey together,
on my PC a Windows Update was responsible for the error.
I deinstalled the updated and it worked after reboot.
2025-08 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 (KB5064081) (26100.5074)
Hope it helps you too
Be careful, you also have KB5063878 😄
Yeah, but KB 5063878 is still installed.
Was playing yesterday. Today I installed 5064081 and after that, I got the error in the EA App during Battlefiled 2042 start. Maybe both 2025-08 has something to do with this error.
As i remember I installed too yesterday, I'll try to uninstall it and I'll come back again. Also if it's work or not,thanks for advice
tried this, and it worked for me. thanks mate.
I loged in two games and after a minute or two game crashed, i logged again for a third time and then game and pc crashes and restarts... I think thats enough try for tonight ....
I had Nvidia new update installed. I have also uninstall the 2 faulty windows updates last week. Two days ago i was able to play , tonight NOPE .
Hello,
I tried a lot of solutions from this post or other posts from here and reddit, what fixed it for me was to disable the Game Overlay in EA app (Settings>Application)
This worked for me also! Thanks for your help Sxandler. You are a gentleman and a scholar!
had the same problem today, but doing this solved my issue, thank you.
Thank god, this is THE solution!
On AMD - Disabling anti lag should solve the problem
I have asus laptop. i switch my gpu mode to ultimate and it worked like charm
i was wondering if you ever go it resolved, im having a very similar issue
