3 corrupt files
Hi all,

Was wondering if anyone else has this issue.

Every time I play, during play 3 files get corrupted. The result of this is that the game does not load fast enough anymore and you get kicked out of the newly loading round with a timeout.

If you verify game files (3 files get fixed) or reinstall the game, it will be fixed for just 1 match and you need to verify game files again to fix the same 3 files before you can join a match again.

Anyone else with a similar issue?

I get kicked back to the main menu when trying to load a map. It will find a game then countdown starts. Soon as it gets to the end of the countdown I am kicked back to the main menu. Each time If I verify files on Steam it says 3 files failed to validate and will be re-acquired.

This only started in the last month. So far I have tried...

  • Installed on SSD, didn't work.
  • Opened all ports for this game, didn't work.
  • Launched game through EA app instead of Steam, didn't work.
  • Re-installed EA app, didn't work.
  • Repaired the EA app, didn't work.

    I have now given up.

Do you guys play with the latest GPU drivers or have any system level application installed like VeraCrypt which might interfere with the anti-cheat?
Or using a bluetooth headset?

I'm trying to get as much info as possible for my bug report.

I use the latest nvidia drivers 566.14. No applications installed. I do not use Bluetooth. Clean installation Windows 11 24H2
566.14 gave me four crashes in game yesterday... so irritated... feels like it wants to break my card {2080ti/window10}, don't wanna play with this driver. Other driver literally gave space invader artefacts all over the screen, this one just freezes././ Personally i think its ea related, but might be gpu-tweak lll

I have the latest GPU drivers installed, it was doing this with older drivers so that's not the problem.

I have a bluetooth headset but only use that in the evening, other times I am using desktop speakers.

Like I said this only started happening about 6 weeks ago. The game ran fine before that so I am thinking one of the patches they released somehow deleted some files and now we are stuck in a loop of verifying.

Ditto the comment above me.
Ive only had the game a little over two weeks and have so so many hours digging into fixing this problem.
You will notice that it is the same three files every time. They are related to EAAntiCheat.
The file verify problem is related to the connection problem that kicks you out of a game and to the menu. It is their Anticheat program at the heart of it. It is riddled with issues the main one being constantly loosing connection to EA servers. The second problem being when they update it it doesn't push that update to you in steam. You only find out you have an older version of the anticheat when you yourself do a file verification.
If it makes you feel better you can try things like re-verifying the game files in steam, clear the EA app cache, launching the game as administrator from the eaanticheat.gameservicelauncher.exe file in the games main folder.
But the only thing you can do for your sanity is to not put to much effort into it and come back a few days later when it might be working. You may think you have fixed it because the game will work for a while but... it will be back.
For the last two days for the first time in weeks the game has actually been functional so who knows if they are over the hump.
You can also verify that it is a problem on their end and not on your end by playing Conquest solo-co/op. You will find that constant disconnects and crashes happen only in mulitiplayer modes. You can go into a single player mode and go hours without problems.

Open bf2042 folder and click bf2042 icon. Launch thru EA not Steam. Works for me. No more freezing. Try it.

Exact same problem, it sucks!

So I was having this problem for awhile, and it turned out to be a CPU issue with the Intel 13th Gen CPU's. One way to test the CPU is to download the nvidia drivers and try to extract/install them several times - if ANY of those extractions error out your Intel CPU has issues and you might be able to get an RMA.

Replacement CPU from Intel solved my issues, which were identical to what you are describing.

If you do get a replacement, be sure to update your Firmware to prevent ongoing issues going forward.

Same issue, have to re-verify each time I play.

same issue with BFV, 3 files
I remember a problem of being kicked years ago. I remember something like close the game, run Origin (not steam) and go to the hamburger menu on top left. Select Help and then "app recovery" - something like that.

It was a glitched Origin install causing problems. Not steam issues.
