I BOUGHT 2042. But I can’t start it, I’m constantly checking Steam files.

Same issue. Bought and installed the game via Steam. After launching it starts the EA App and says "preparing game...". Then after some seconds it says "You dont have access" and that some other user might have installed/downloaded the game. EA App and Steam account are linked btw. I tried App recovery, re-login, restart, none did fix the issue

i fixed my issue. I did 2 things so i can't tell you which one fixed it:

1. Verifying the installation files on Steam (did not show any errors for me)
2. Go into your Steam installation folder \steamapps\common\Battlefield 2042\__Installer\Origin\redist\internal and there is an "EAappInstaller.exe". Run this installer, it will tell you that EA App is already installed and then simply click on repair.

Hope that helps somebody.

Котик, если ты купил эту игру, то она есть в твоем EA приложении. Забей ♥♥♥ на стим, просто через него попробуй для начала запустить :steamhappy:
Если не получается, то используй свой телефон в качестве модема чисто для входа в игру и потом переключись на свой интернет. Такое тоже может сработать.
