New Update broke the game

[Gak]

Load into the game fine.. Play for 5 minutes and it crashes to desktop with no error, the game just closes

[Speedy]

works fine for me

[Micro-Will]

Works fine - don't worry you're not missing much, the game is still ghosted and trash

[Gak]

yea i had to reinstall it...

[KANTUZA]

after running the update, the game stopped running

[Xalerion0]

Mine won't launch since the update. Keeps pulling up EA when I click to play through Steam. EA launcher then tells me it is trying to download through their launcher and to close the EA launcher and to launch it through Steam, which is what I did in the first place. Launch from Steam again and same thing happens, repeatedly. Great update. Made it unplayable.

Did reinstall fix it for you?

Got it to work by force closing all EA programs, including background processes, in task manager and then trying to launch.

I keep blue screening. The game shows the initial static full screen graphic, then the pc instantly restarts. I even updated to the latest nvidia drivers and did a validation of the game files in steam, same thing, instantly restarts the pc. Event viewer is showing a few diff stop errors. It's the only game in my Library doing this.

Hello, just had this blue screen error. Did you by any chance installed the windows update of 24h2 build? If yes then this might be the cause. Also outdated SSD driver can also cause this issue.
I just finished rolling back to 23h2 build, will update if it solved it or the issue persists.

Update: No crash after rolling back to previous build.

lets be reminded how this game was released... it didnt even have a kills leaderboard

I had the similar issue for many years, try to enable secure boot in your bios. My guess is the game kicks you after some time since anti-cheat does not work without secure boot turned on.

Hey there, appreciate the info. I just checked, I'm on 23H2 right now, but I'll keep that in mind not to upgrade to 24H2 yet. It's funny you mention SSD, i did have my Western Digital background app crash now and then that checks my SSD's, I rebooted and it's fine again. I checked for firmware updates, I'm all good there also :( Every other game works fine, it BSOD again just a few minutes ago. I'm going to try uninstalling it and re-installing, maybe clean-up EA app cache also.

Well, I deleted EA app cache, uninstalled the game, deleted the leftover folder in steam, deleted my 'Documents>Battlefield2042' folder with the settings to recreate new ones. I figured all this would fix it, I can get into BF2042 menu and settings, as soon as I start a new game, it starts to load finds a map, then Boom black screen and restarts my PC. I think I've come to the end of the line of playing BF for the first time in a LOT of years.

That's sad.
But that's the thing though, it only bsod when I tried to play BF2042. Right before I played Apex and CoD, those ran fine.
I'm also thinking of upgrading back to 24H2, since it doesn't make sense to keep it downgraded to play only 1 game (for me at least).

Also check this reddit post, someone found a solution for their problem
