BF II don't start
Hello, I am reaching out to support because Star Wars Battlefront II has not been working for several weeks and I have exhausted every solution I could find. Exact symptom: the game launches, the window opens for about 2 seconds, it attempts to go fullscreen, then silently closes and reopens the EA launcher. No error message, no error code, nothing. Sometimes it accepts to launch once or twice, then stops working entirely afterwards, without any changes made on my end between sessions. System configuration: - GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT - CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X - Secure Boot: Enabled - BIOS Mode: UEFI - Game purchased via Steam, tested via both Steam AND the EA App Troubleshooting steps already attempted without success: - Full uninstall of the game (including system files) and reinstall - Clean AMD driver reinstall using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) - Disabled Radeon Anti-Lag - Installed Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022 x64 and x86 - Cleared the EA App cache - Verified game file integrity via Steam (no corrupted files detected) - Reinstalled EA AntiCheat via EAAntiCheat.Installer as administrator - Checked environment variables (no GAME_DATA_DIR present) - Disabled DirectX 12 in the game config files - Checked Windows Event Viewer (no error logged at the time of the crash) I suspect the issue is related to EA Javelin AntiCheat silently killing the process, as the behavior matches exactly: silent crash with no message, random between sessions, no trace in Windows logs. I saw that both: SWB2 crashes when the game starts. | EA Forums - 13430650 and SWB2 crashes when the game starts. | EA Forums - 13430650SWB2 crashes when the game starts. | EA Forums - 13430650 seems to have the same problem, I hope you're gonna find what is wrong with it Thank you for your help in resolving this issue.
BF II not starting
I own both SWBFII and TFII on steam, however, unfortunately, it needs the EA client to run them... I cnanot for the life of me get either running. I've uninstalled, reinstalled the EA App, the games, verified files, checked all drivers, updated as needed. Made sure DX12 was off. Still, no launch. Hit the play button on steam, EA Client opens, then the play button reappears on steam, EA Client, closes, and restarts like nothing was pushed.. Try launching from EA Client, same thing. No errors, client closes, restarts with nothing happening. Super frustrating as it's run before. TF2 has the exact same issue...
Battlefront II Worth It
Hey all, due to the Electronics Arts lagging for my Xbox, I have stopped playing the game for several years. My question is, due to the lags in the game, should I purchase the game on my Lenovo Legion on the Steam App?. Any tips would help. P.S. I don't want to waste money on a EA game that lags all the time.Weird Spinning bug
For some reason every time I press shift, control, alt or any key that aren't letters my screen starts to spin uncontrollably, I strictly use keyboard and mouse I don't even have any controllers connected so I know that isn't the issue, I had to switch all my keybinds just to play the game which is quite annoying and I would really like to fix this issue.
Invalid license. Reason Code = Invalid Cipher (0x0006)"
I have had a lot of trouble with Battlefront II not launching. When I launch the game, it says "Sorry an error ocurred. Invalid license. Reason Code = Invalid Cipher (0x0006)". This happened out of nowhere. Nothing was downloaded, nor did anything crash. In fact I had been playing perfectly fine up until a month or so ago. I have "Repaired/Fixed" the game in Origin, but nothing worked. I have been in contact with EA and here are the ideas that both technical support and myself have tried with none of them working, so they directed me here. * Uninstalled Battlefront II then Reinstalled * Uninstalled both Origin and EA Beta Launcher and only reinstalled Origin (side note: EA Beta did work several months ago) * Checked for Malware/Viruses * EA told me to do the following: "Please follow these steps as mentioned in the given order: Completely log out and close down Origin Hold down the Windows key and R Type in "%ProgramData%" (without quotes) and click OK Now open the Origin folder. Delete all the files and folders in the Origin folder, except for LocalContent (do not delete this one) Hold down the Windows key and R Type in "%AppData%" (without quotes) and click OK This will take you to a Roaming folder, which is located inside of AppData. Delete the Origin folder Click on the word "AppData" at the top of your window Open the Local folder here Delete the Origin folder listed here Restart your PC and log back into Origin * Was told by another EA advisor to "download latest Graphics Drivers, insure I am running the latest version of Origin. * Was told by another EA advisor to Repair/Fix Battlefront II in Origin. *Was told by another EA advisor to insure my internet connection wasn't a problem, and my internet connection is currently good. My current download speed is: 166.89 Mbps. Upload speed: 94.22 Mbps *Was told by another EA advisor “Please try to change the game properties and let me know if it works.” However, nothing in my game properties seemed to be effecting anything. *Was told by another EA advisor to "Clean Boot my PC using an EA article. However that didn't work, and I attempted it twice. If anyone has any ideas of what I could do, I will be your best friend. Would a hard pc wipe and reinstalling stuff fix this? Or is the only option left to make a new Origin account and rebuy Battlefront 2? Thank you for your time!

Xbox App crashes instantly when opening Star Wars Battlefront II page
Hello everyone, I am having a specific issue with Star Wars Battlefront II via PC Game Pass. Every time I click to open the Battlefront II game page inside the Xbox App, the Xbox App instantly crashes and closes. Through testing, I found that the crash only happens when the EA App integration extension is enabled in the Xbox App. If I disable the EA extension, the app stops crashing. Other EA Play games work completely fine; it is only happening with Battlefront II. I have already tried a massive amount of troubleshooting, including: - Reinstalling the EA App, Xbox App, and Gaming Services - Clearing all app caches and updating Windows - Relinking my EA and Xbox accounts - Completely formatting my PC and reinstalling Windows Since it persists even after a full Windows format, it seems to be a specific account-level integration bug between EA Play and the Xbox App for this specific game. Has anyone else run into this or found a workaround? Thank you!Star wars battlefront 2
I'm sure it's been mentioned a countless number of times already I'm just here to add one more comment about EA's **bleep** non-existent matchmaking system, at least the one thats nowhere to be found be in this game. I could genuinely probably write a book out here but all I'm gonna say is that you guys really ought to listen to the community when there's a pretty consistent problem with one of your games, cuz whatever you're doing rn isn't working. It's certainly not skill or level based, you're just [REMOVED] as many players into a match as quickly as you can so that it can be started. Edit: Removed obscured profanity. -CMUnfixable Error Code 216
I have owned Star Wars Battlefront II for years now but a while back it stopped letting me load into any multiplayer game at all. I keep getting a split second glance of the troop selection screen at the beginning of every game and then it kicks me out and displays error code 216. I have researched every possible solution and not a single one has worked for me. I play on Xbox One S, so I have cleared my cache and MAC address, changed my DNS, tested my NAT type and all my connections, and also clearing my reserved space before reloading the game. It seems that there is no fix to this and I am unsure what to do.Can’t Find Available Games
Error code 1,066 (can’t find any playable games) for PS5. I’ve been playing Battlefront 2 for nine years and have never NOT found a multiplayer game. I keep going to “Find a Quick Match” which should place me in any available multiplayer match, and the error code keeps resulting. My internet connection is fine so feel like this is in EA.
How to deal with cheaters in game
So, with EA completely failing to take any meaningful action regarding the ongoing epidemic of cheaters, I'd like to share some of my tactics for dealing with cheaters in-game. Learn the Rules Here: EA won't do anything about cheating, but they will ban you for discussing the details of cheatpacks, the websites or individual streamers involved or any actions that you might take to defend your legal rights. These are not allowed. Learn about the Cheatpacks: You won't even know the player or team you are playing against are using cheats if you do not know what to look for. Many cheaters are "low-key" and do not cheat in obvious ways unless you take the time to educate yourself. Take the time to report them using the EA app: I know if feels as if it doesn't do anything - in fact, cheaters will often brag in chat that EA won't do anything. They're half-right - EA will not - but the Anticheat built into the game will. I am not permitted to disclose how the anticheat works, but reporting it is the #1 action you take to fight cheaters. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM WHEN THEY SAY NOTHING WILL BE DONE. Learn how to spot cheaters through the scoreboard: Level 3 pwing an entire team during HvV? Do they have 20k score while everyone else has 10k? We call these people "smurfs" and they are all proof that he anticheat works. They are rerturning from a ban and it's painfully obvious. Do Not Play Their Game: This is the most important and controversial piece of advice I can give. To be clear it is against EA's TOS to "throw" a match. But a person can use very creative methods to "forget" to draw a lightsaber, have to run to the bathroom or die exploring out-of-bounds areas. I like to do this with a S-tier character when I know I'm on a team full of cheaters. Every. Single. Spawn. Nothing seems to be funnier than listening to cheaters scream about thier games being "ruined". Have Fun: Don't let cheaters ruin your joy. I have over 3000 hours in this game and it's still the best game in the history of gaming in my humble opinion. I play an hour or two a day and report 40-50 cheaters in that time. I have no intention of stopping. We're launching a new YouTube channel in the coming days dedicated to naming and shaming - as we are expressly forbidden to do that here. Keep your eyes peeled in the future!
Ewok Hunt has game breaking glitches
Ewok Hunt is completely broken and has been for several updates now — can we PLEASE get a fix? Two bugs are killing the mode: first, black screens and movement locks right when the evacuation ship is about to spawn, and second, random mid-game freezes that force you to respawn for no reason. It's not an occasional glitch, it's constant and game-breaking. A lot of us bought Battlefront 2 specifically for this mode. It's genuinely sad to see it in this state. Dev team, please acknowledge this.
