Battlefield 2042 unable to start via Steam or Origin

Super goofy. Again I'm no tech expert, but I've never run into a start up issue like this before. With most issues I'm at least able to utilize basic "quick fixes" to alleviate the issue...

@TwiceBakedGooch  please share system specs.
Did ya install gameplatform as an admin already ?
Check with sfc /scannow if there are any windows related errors
SFC - Windows Health Check

Press Windows key + 'R' ,typ CMD
Press and hold down CTRL + SHIFT and press ENTER.
When User Account Control shows up, click Yes.
Use the following command lines, pressing Enter after each
(make sure you wait till each of the commands is executed properly):

sfc /scannow
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
reboot your computer

(make sure gameplatform is not booting at the same time with windows )
Right click gameplatform shortcut and select RUN AS ADMINISTARTOR!
Now start game and check what happens.
Update us please !

Hey @TwiceBakedGooch,

I have the feeling that this is not related to either Steam or Origin, but the EA app, because Steam need to launch the EA app before it can launch BF2042.

Do you have the EA app installed on your PC?

Hey @ZeRev,

Sorry to hear that you're having this issue.

When you say that you have tried to run things as Administrator, have you tried this with Steam, EA app and the game itself?

Yes I did. I set them all up early on to run as administrator.

Hey @Lakatose,

Do you get an error from the EA app when you try to launch the game?

I have exactly the same problem like 'Zerev' after season 3 update please help me

[EA_Leeuw]

Hey @ForsakenHR,

You have also bought the game on Steam?

[ForsakenHR]

@EA_Leeuw Yes, after the third season patch was released, that is, on Tuesday, I encountered the problem that after starting the game, the EAC bounced back to the EA app. I tried reinstalling the game, updating the driver, rolling back the driver, and repairing the EAC, all failed. up
