Battlefront takes forever to startup and when it does it is broken.

Hi @nerfherder2000

Clear Origin cache and for this you get a perfectly detailed post from @EA_Nils >>http://answers.ea.com/t5/Origin/my-origin-will-not-update-my-sims-4/m-p/4721983#M163410

Restart your machine .

You need to perform a Clean Boot: http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/ 

 Run the setup file Origin with Admin rights  http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-do-i-run-a-program-or-a-game-as-an-administrator/#2

Then go in Origin / My Games tab-right click on game icon Star Wars:Battlefront select Repair Game and then Check for Updates and now start game.

that did not work. it is doing the exact same thing it was before. admin privs and all

Ok @nerfherder2000

Then you need to do this steps,mate.

Manually uninstall Origin http://help.ea.com/en/article/manually-uninstalling-origin/

Run CCleaner http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-use-ccleaner-to-fix-pc-issues/

Restart your machine.

Install Origin https://www.origin.com/en-ie/download

I wait your feedback.🤔

frustratingly enough it still does not work

I may have found the problem. I seem to have origin installed on my SSD boot drive and AGAIN on my 1TB drive, SW battlefront is installed on the SSD bootdrive as well and this might be cause of interference, but I am not certain

@nerfherder2000  most likely this is the problem.😉

You must delete the game in one of the locations  and i think you should be fine.🙂
