Re: Battlefield 2042 not launching after switching to EA app (Steam & Epic)

EA app kills BF2042 on PC.

Ive been using the origin app on the PC no problems with BF2042. Today hey said i have to now uninstall origin and use the EA app.

The app loads but bf gets to the loading page then quits back out. This happened last year so i uninstalled and put origin back on no issues. But now they have killed origin.

Does anyone know if there is a fix.

    @Awpelqvist @bigtsoprano  try thbis

    uninsstall oriogin and ea app with REVOUNINSTALLER.

    Then use ccleaner to cleanup registry, reboot system and only install EA DESKTOP , try game again !

    PS also empty those 2 folders manaully , delete everything. Some files/folders cant be deleted.
    C:\Users\>YOURE_USERNAME<\AppData\Local
    C:\Users\>YOURE_USERNAME<\AppData\Roaming

    Cheers

    Hey @bigtsoprano,

    How exactly do you own BF2042? Is this directly via us (EA app/Origin), or did you buy the game via a 3rd party launcher like Steam or Epic?
  • was bought on origin.

    ive uninstalled again and ea and made sure no reference.

    then reinstalled EA App and waited for it to redownload the whole 69 gig of BF2042 again.

    Just tried again and you get as far as the 

    Battlefield Season 03

    Escalation screen

    Blue bar at the bottom like normal then just goes and the game doesnt load..

    Ea app just pops back on the screen.

    If anyone can help as i cant load it .

    Is there not a log file to say where the issue is?

    @bigtsoprano, could you maybe take a look at the marked solution of this thread, that is on the first page? Maybe those steps can help you?
  • i have and its the same. The fix on page didnt work hence why there are now 10 pages of people with the same issue.

    Can someone from EA look at what was working in the Origin software and what has gone wrong since they brought their App out.

    Its such a shame as BF i have had since the very 1st one and something like this starts to put the feeling that EA dont really care as no one seems to have fixed it.
