  • Nope...still does not work for me.  Desktop goes away and then comes back...no game launch.  Tired of this crap...so typical of EA crap games.  Now that they ended the Origin app I have zero access to BF2042.  At least with it, I could get it to run if I loaded Origin as admin.  Time to call a class action specialist.

    @MiklaDfar  try this please
    did ya try to reinstall EAC ?
    navigate to: C:\Program Files (x86) , in this folder you will see EasyAntiCheat folder.
    Rename/delete the EasyAntiCheat folder, now navigate to the installation
    folder of BF2042.
    In this BF2042 you will see the \EasyAntiCheat folder.
    In this folder is a file with name EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe.
    Right click at this file and select to RUN AS ADMIN !!!
    Install/repair EAC , reboot computer , now test game again.

    Update us please !

    ps delete the EasyAntiCheat folder at C:\Users\>YOURE USERNAME<\AppData\Roaming\

  • No, that did not help. 

    I had no problems running 2042 through origin, if i ran it as admin and ran 2042 as admin. Tonight i was forces to install the ea launcher, now i get this message "your game failed to launch - an error on our end caused your launch to fail. try again a little later"....

    What kind of  message is this? Why are we being forced to use a launcher that does not work, now being denied access to a game we paid for???? How can one company shi**on their player base so repeatedly? Im so done buying anything from this fail company ever again...

    @SilentBoB1976 make sure no other game luancher is running in the background !!
    No gameplatform should launch with windows, start only EA desktop app.
  • what do you mean by "any other platform" Like steam or Epic Game Launcher? or just the crap from EA? I mean, EA cannot demand that their launcher is the only one running on the pc, for me to play their game ?

    Hey all,

    It has been found that in many of these cases, the cause of the problem is that some players own (and have installed) multiple copies of the game through different launchers, causing problems. This is a solution for that:

    • Uninstall all BF2042 installations (especially the ones installed through Origin or the EA app),
    • Reboot the PC,
    • Install & launch BF2042 through Steam or Epic,
      • It's important that the games bought from Steam are installed through Steam and launched from Steam for the first time.

    Make sure that you have the right permissions to launch the EA app and your games
    If you don't have multiple copies of the game through different launchers, but are still unable to launch the game, it's possible that your current local Windows account doesn't have the proper permissions to run the game (and its Easy Anti-Cheat).


    This problem can in many cases be solved by making sure you install and launch the EA app, game and/or Easy Anti-Cheat with Administrator privileges. It is also advisable to make sure that your local Windows account generally has the right permissions, you can check this in the following way: UAC in Windows.

    Read this on how to create a local Windows Administrator account.

    Let us know how things go.

  • Hello EA team,

    I want to confirm that my issue is not resolved. I uninstalled Battlefield and EA app again (went through and deleted all folders and configuration data as well). Then I restarted the computer, installed the EA app, then installed Battlefield via Steam. No change in behavior (no error, just nothing happens after Easy anti-cheat window).

    I then went through and gave Admin privilege to all Easy Anti-Cheat. EA app, Steam, and Battlefield .exes. No change.

    The new season of Battlefield comes out tomorrow, so I would really like to play. I had ZERO issues while Origin worked, so it's obviously this app that's interfering. There's still no errors or hint as to what the problem. Please advise - I will be available for a screenshare tomorrow US time if needed.

    Regards,

  • wat een onzin, een kapotte launcher pushen op mensen en dan verwachten dat ze even alles opnieuw downloaden en instaleren wat een aanfluiting, gister werkte alles perfect en nu moet ik 120 gb opnieuw dl omdat jullie niet kunnen programmeren, nooit meer een ea game voor mij 

  • @EA_Leeuw Great, I cant start the game and follow you to uninstall BF 2042 and now I have to wait 56432 hours to play this game. I want Origin back, its broke but this EA is worst !
