Save files corrupt and could not be read by the game error BF2042
I started this new thread as maybe the new title is more to the point. I just started getting this error even though the day before I played the game with no issues. I tried all the usual tips and tricks to no avail. Then I tried playing the game on my other PC that I used to play on before building this new one and had the same exact error. So it's coming from EA having my game files in a corrupt state. How to successfully contact support as recently I tried about other issues and they never even acknowledge I have created a new case even after 3 attempts. Or if you know any other way to fix this error let me know. ThanksBF2042 new issues today
Yesterday I played for 4 hours with a few minor crashes as usual but today, I download the BF6 pre-download as I had an email saying I could. That all seemed to download just fine. I also uninstalled the files from the BF6 beta while I was at it. So today I was just going to play 1 or 2 maps after I got my work done and it's a major nightmare yet again. First I got a green screen error about a page fault and it mentioned the Microsoft Insiders Version which I do not even use andafter a reboot the game would not load with some error about trying again later as the issue was on EA's side. Then I tried again later and now I am getting error messages about my game files being corrupt so I look up how to fix it and delete the Battlefield folder after trying to delete the 2 profile files that didn't work. I have to CTRL/ALT/DEL to get past the corrupt file errors and shut it down. All I keep getting is errors about my game files being corrupt. I even uninstalled BF2042 and the EA AntiCheat and still get the same errors. WTF?? So I tried to load BF4 and it works fine...Go figure. Arrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!
Battlefield 2042 PC freeze on startup
Hello, i have the same thing for over 2 months now. BF games (2042 and for 1 day bf6 beta did the same) At first i thought it was the anticheat. Uninstalled it and played bf6 beta for days. After it ended i couldnt get on 2042. Both games freeze the whole pc on startup and all i can do is force shutdown by pressing the power button. Troubleshooting sometimes it is fixed but most of the time it happens. I have tried EVERYTHING. I even got a new motherboard, got my 5090 RMAed. Still bf2042 cannot start and freezes the PC. I cannot understand what the problem is or how to solve it. bf6 is 2 weeks away and i don't think i will be able to play since they share a lot of common things with 2042. Can any one help?
BF2042 crashes by loading up, since BF6 Open Beta Client has been installed
On Steam, since yesterdays install and setup of BF6 Open Beta, BF2042 crashes at the title screen before entering main menu whenever the loading crosshair indicator appears at the center of the screen. Crash happens when the title screen stays at a smaller windowed screen as well as whenever it goes to full screen automatically. I tried to verify gamefiles, repaired EAAntiCheat, deleted BF2042 settings, deleted various caches and temp files, re-downloaded and re-installed BF2042 on Steam, tried to run it through EA App ... but nothing. Same crash happens on title screen shown below. BF2042 creates a 3 MB encrypted crashdump each time, which I wont share here on public. BF6 Open Beta Client on Steam still runs without any issues. Clean Win11 Pro 24H2, i9-14900HX, RTX 4090, 2x16GB RAM, latest NVIDIA Drivers v580.88EAAntiCheat crashes BF2042 ALL THE **bleep** TIME!
I ran the mini crash dump in WinDbg; 🔍 Crash Summary Detail Value Exception Code c0000005 (Access Violation) Faulting Address 0000000000000000 (Null pointer dereference) Instruction Pointer (RIP) BF2042!GetDenuvoTimeTicketRequest+0x6a9845 Read Address rdx = 0x0 → mov rax, [rdx] Module BF2042.exe Symbol Name memory_corruption!BF2042 Verifier APPLICATION_VERIFIER_LOADED: 1 CHKIMG Errors 256 errors in Frostbite image region per CoPilot: 🧠 What This Means The crash occurred while trying to read from a null pointer (rdx = 0x0), which is a textbook dereference failure. The function GetDenuvoTimeTicketRequest is likely part of the anti-tamper or DRM handshake—Denuvo’s time ticket system validates runtime integrity. The CHKIMG_EXTENSION shows 256 image corruption errors in the Frostbite module, which suggests memory corruption or tampering—either from a mod, overlay, or a failed integrity check. APPLICATION_VERIFIER_LOADED means Windows was actively monitoring for heap and handle violations—this crash might’ve been caught mid-corruption. 🔧 Likely Causes 1. Anti-Cheat or DRM Conflict Denuvo handshake failed due to a null pointer. Could be triggered by: G Hub overlays (you’ve already isolated this before) Macro injection or input emulation Background apps that hook into BF2042 2. Memory Corruption The memory_corruption!BF2042 symbol and CHKIMG errors suggest the executable image was altered or corrupted in memory. Could be: Faulty RAM (less likely if other apps are stable) GPU driver instability Overlays or mods interfering with Frostbite’s memory space 3. Race Condition or Uninitialized Pointer The null rdx might be a race condition—pointer not initialized before access. Could be tied to timing issues, especially if BF2042 was under load or alt-tabbed. ----- Guys, before I start playing, I turn off GHub, revalidate steam files & repair the game through EAAnticheat hoping the **bleep** game won't crash because IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I PLAY. I sincerely hope you guys fix this problem when BF6 releases.

Packet Loss BF2042
Since EA Support can't be bothered to send a reply to the 3 requests Ive sent on the issue, I figure Id post here. I'm lucky to play 1 game out of 10. When I get in I get severe packet loss. Its basically 10 seconds good, 10 seconds bad. Like a regular heartbeat. The in game graphs show this to me along with the packet loss in indicator. On occasion when it gets real bad, I get a DirectX error about GPU hung up. I have no problem with other games, external testing for packet loss shows nothing. Even BF6 works flawlessly. Its only this game. Ive tried every fix and suggestion at this point. So my only thought is either the game is trash or the severs are trash. i9-9900k, 16GB RAM, rx9060xt 16gb Sata SSDs
