[FIXED] BF2042 DIRECTX ERROR (FEB-2025)
Hello Greetings, Recently I've noticed DirectX Error with BF2042 since recent Windows update in starting of Feb-25. AS like you I've also tried everything like Downgrade Graphics Driver/Update Windows/Update EA App/Clear Cache/Reinstall Game etc. WHAT I FOUND IS MENTIONED BELOW. Clear cache of EA app. (How to - https://help.ea.com/in/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/) Log out from EA app. Log in again in EA app. Press WINDOWS + R to open RUN box. Type devmgmt.msc. Expand Display Adapters. Right click on Dedicated Graphics other than NVIDIA/AMD. Disable it. Restart PC. (DON'T FORGET THIS STEP) Open BF2042 and GO. Note :- You'll see some changes on your main desktop screen like icon and font size change etc. After doing this I got DirectX Error/Freezing Screen issue only 2 times in total 4 hours of play. KINDLY NOTE THAT THE WORD USED *FIXED* IS ONLY FOR *DRAW ATTENTION* OF ALL PLAYERS WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH THIS ISSUE. IT'S NOT OFFICIALLY FIXED BY GAME/DEVELOPERS ITSELF. IT'S JUST GIVE IT A TRY. I'VE TRIED AND MINE IS WORKING NOW. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR UPDATE BUT IN RESPONSE IS NEGETIVE. SO BETTER WE CAN PLAY FOR WHICH WE HAVE PAID RATHER SIT AND WAITING FOR UPDATE. Kindly reply from your end with your experience with this and let me know if this is working for all or not. Warm Regards, LASTSHOT-is-HACK .
BF2042 dirextx function error after Windows update
Following a recent Windows update, an error has emerged preventing the launch of Battlefield 2042. Prior to the update, the game functioned without issue. Troubleshooting steps, including the complete reinstallation of both the NVIDIA drivers and Battlefield 2042, have not resolved the problem.
Can't start the game, being asked to reinstall even after reinstalling twice
Basically title, I'm unable to start the game and I'm hit with an error saying, "There is a problem with your game's setup. Please reinstall your game." Naturally I reinstalled but this didn't resolve the issue, I tried again but no dice. I've tried launching the game from Steam and EA but both give the same error message. I've also tried verifying the game's files but that didn't change anything either. I'm not sure the issue as I've played the game before, months back, on this same PC.
Continuous Crashes When Loading
I'm running the game through Steam and I've been dealing with this for 3 days now. I've already gone back to earlier graphics drivers, I've reinstalled the game, I've cleared out the anti-cheat and reinstalled it, I've bottomed out the graphics settings through the config files, I don't have this issue in any other game. Occasionally I'll get errors connecting to the online service but the main thing is this DirectX error. This sometimes crashes my entire driver suite and kills all audio in my PC forcing a reboot. If it isn't this it's the network connection or it's the splash screen hanging until I kill it. Nothing I've done seems to fix it or provide any headway toward it, and the times I've gotten into the menu feel random but don't let me go into a match at all. I'm at my wit's end with this, what the hell is going on? DxDiag attached, if a solution has been proffered in any thread in any forum in the last 3 years I've tried it. Nothing's worked.
DirectX Funciton Error
Hello, today I started receiving this error after updating Windows on the computer. BF2042 was working without any problems until yesterday. This error only appears when I try to open BF2042, BF4 and BF1 work without any problems. I deleted the nvidia application and drivers and reinstalled them, in the same way, I deleted and reinstalled BF2042, but I still get the same error. Do you have any solution suggestions?
Getting sick and tired of this Anti-cheat
I honestly am at the end of my wits here. I often try to play Battlefield with my brothers through steam, which then opens the EA app, the splash screen and then promptly disappears. Nothing happens despite steam saying the game is Running. The game also appears in the Task Manager but nothing happens, I am unable to close the game as well unless I completely restart my System. I have tried everything you can think off, different windows 11 version, Administrative rights, Disabling Full-screen optimizations, changing flow control, repairing, 200+ times of re-installing the bloody thing. Firewalls, removing potentially triggering programs but nada. Reinstalling has about a 50/50 chance of working which can take ages as it is not a small game by any means. I am really close to just giving up and not bother dealing with the horrendous EA launcher. I also keep getting the error after closing the game and then trying to reopen: EA AntiCheat encountered an error. Please restart your PC.: C;\Program Files\EA\EAAntiCheat.GameService.exe (2)(5). I feel these problems started occuring after I changed from a Samsung SSD to a Lexar 2TB SSD.help me
I have an issue: I downloaded the game, but when I try to launch it, it redirects me to the EA Play screen. When I try to log into my own account, I get an error saying that another Steam account has already been linked to my EA account and that two accounts cannot be linked at the same time. I contacted my friend, and they told me that they had unlinked the account. However, when I tried again, I still got the same error saying that the account is still linked. It seems like many other people are experiencing this issue as well. Could you help me with this problem?
