Battlefield Games Will Not Launch
Hi, I'm looking for some help! I bought 3 Battlefield games earlier this year: BF1, BF5, and BF2042. I played all three of them for months with no problems. And then beginning last week... none of t...

OK, I completely uninstalled everything again and restarted my computer. Then reinstalled EA & Steam apps and BFV. Same problem.
Now my C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts folder only has an EA Desktop folder in it. No other folders. No License folder anywhere.
I'm stumped.

EA Anticheat Team@LeadM4gnet Yeah it's not Program Files, it's "ProgramData" - it's a hidden folder.
I'm not sure why the DRM check is failing for you, that's outside of my team's remit, I can just see the error in the logs.

I'm sorry - my bad. Now that I'm looking in the right place... C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License
I can now see 6 .dlf files, 3 are caches of the other 3.
Do you have any idea who I can ask about getting my DRM cleaned up? Is that Someone at EA or Steam?
Thanks again for your help. If I can get this sorted out I'll spread the word....

Hey, man!
I've been away from this problem for a long time but I finally had time to back everything up, delete all game files, and do a full fresh Windows install on my laptop. I wanted to let you know that seems to have solved it.
TBH it took way longer than I thought it would because it didn't sit well with my HP Victus when I tried the new install. I had to troubleshoot some issues before it would install. Tonight I got around to reinstalling BF V AND IT RUNS! I'm finally back in the fight.
I wanted to thank for helping when I was about ready to delete Steam and forget the whole thing when they were no help. I still don't know what the problem was -- but tomorrow I'll try reinstalling BF1 and see if that runs, then if it does, BF 2042.
Thanks again, and Happy New Year to you, brother!
- @LeadM4gnet Good NewYear
A fresh new windows install every year (or 2 year) is not bad/wrong at all.
|Dont use 3rd party cleaning tools (registry cleanup apps ect ect ect), it will damage windows config at the long term !!!
Also better dont use a 3rd party virus scnner/firewall app, WINDOWS DEFENDER is good as any other 3rd party tool !!
Have Fun and Game On!
Cheers
