How to Fix Battlefield 2042 Won’t Open Or Launch In Windows 10

The first reason for the game to crash might be the lack of administrative rights. Right-click on the game and select “Run the Game as Administrator.” If this doesn’t work for you, then try playing the game from the account that has administrative rights.

Another reason for the game to crash at launch is the anti-virus or Windows Defender, which might be detecting the game’s exe file as a Trojan virus. You can either disable the anti-virus or make an exception for the game in the anti-virus settings. This will allow the game to run on your system.

Some players prefer playing Battlefield 2042 without updates. If you’re one of them, it’s possible that your game isn’t getting updates on time. This could indicate that Battlefield 2042’s failure to launch is due to an out-of-date game client.

If your PC is more than a few years old, it’s likely that it won’t be able to run the game. While Battlefield 2042 isn’t the most demanding game on the market right now, it still requires a powerful computer to function effectively.
