Re: NO Text Font/Letters in any menu in game... (BattleFront)

Hi everyone, since i was the OP, i just want to update you guys... 

I found what was my problem.. and yes it was on my end..

Upon investigating my rig, i found out that my origin software was not installed... it was just a copy from a previous Windows installation...

I deleted then Origin folder then installed a fresh copy of Origin.. Then it started working... 

I hope this works for most of you guys... Hence mine was not a bug, but a faulty origin software... 

Thanks to the CS's and volunteer who tried to help...

    Sweet! Nice work finding this and sharing with us all. So this a result of the Windows 7 to 10 upgrade? Funny it wasn't found during Beta and released as a heads up. Oh well, time to play. Thanks again!

    I have found that this is particularly an origin interaction bug, the overlay screws the in game menu text.

    My resolution when it happens is to shut down the gam, shut down origin, with the three fingered salute (C+A+D) , not to enable cloud sync, cos it bugs out. and restart the game using the icon and ignore origin altogether. This is the kind of problem steam would have.

  • I followed the steps and despite all it doesn't for me, I have no text font/letters any more. â˜šī¸

    Hello,

    i just recently got star wars battlefront on pc and i got one of the known bugs -> Missing textsThe missing text is that all text on menu, options, game-tips, in-match subtitles, mission objectives are missing. For options, The tabs are there but not the text, if you click on it there appear are warning tab but with no text just the warning-triangle

    People say i have to uninstall and reinstall Origin, but when i do that, in the beginning it asks to close all tabs, it especially asks to turn off "Origin.exe",If i remove the folder of origin manually, it says its alrdy open or in use. even i logged off or just closed all the windows of origin, it keeps asking it, i even checked on the taskmanager but nothing based on EA or origin/ if there might be any origin programs running on the background. How do i fix the missing text bug or how do i uninstall origin?Thank you.

    tried all of that reinstall Origin more times that I can count and Battlfront more than 2 times and still the same issue with the text.

    It rellay bugs me out to precomand a deluxe version and still not being able to play it more than a week after it's release

  • same thing here, tried reinstalling both origin and the game. no fix.  this is ridiculous, last time i buy a game from ea.

    I see no mention here of one really old fix from long ago that is always worth trying: shut down an AV and test without it.  If the game works, then you need to get more specific.  Enable only one function at a time to test which one is incompatible, and only disable that one, instead of every protection bundled in the AV.

    This solution worked for me

  • Same thing. I did everything you guys did. uninstall, reinstall, update graphics (they were already upto date), delete origin, reinstall origin... i contacted EA after 3 attempts. first attempt the called and went directly to voicemail (from their point). 2nd attempt in chat with a hold time of over 2 hours. and 3rd time spoke to a supervisor and then he/she ended the conversation after linking them with this post....

    LAST TIME I BUY ANYTHING FROM EA

  • Update: I actually spoke to some tech "David"? I now can't play other games because when I try playing them it doesn't recognize origin.... Battlefront literally broke my Origin and NO ONE from EA or Origin have been able to help. Thanks guys.

    I've got the same problem and I tried everything but nothing seems to work for me.

    What do I need to do?

  • Hi.

    I was experiencing this issue for years, three or four times I guess, practically since SW 2015 was released. I tried everything and only reinstalling Windows was the solution, but now, after an "origin update" using a totally new rig, ISP, router, etc; happened again. Origin connects, I am online, but no game from my library is capable to connect. I didn't wanted to face all this issues again, less to ask support to Origin, so I leave it and started to play games only from Steam, Uplay, Epic, etc. Even I bought SW SQUADRONS from steam.

    But wait; here comes the unthinkable... I was testing the way my Microsoft One Drive account works when no network devices exists, so I uninstalled It from Device Manager. Then I reinstalled It again, of course after finishing the tests. It is funny, but just by pure luck I opened Origin and started SW Battlefront. It loaded very fast, everything was normal and working properly, with fonts text and all data. Immediately I went to my old computer, only to verify that there may be the solution I tried there and the issue was the same, no fonts no connection, slow loading. I uninstalled and reinstalled the network devices in my old rig, as I did before in my current rig. And there I was, all my games working fine in all the devices.

    I hope this could help to somebody else, not only in SW Battlefront, but in any other Origin game.

    I'm closing this thread to stop it being necroed.

    If you have any issues with SWBF please make a new topic about the issues you are having and what kind of steps you have tried to solve it.
