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...

Thanks for replying, man. I appreciate it. I really don't want to install this and try that for weeks, mess up my registry, and get nowhere.
It seems like the problem is either:
1. A corrupted file somewhere on my PC.
2. A corrupted file somewhere at
A) Steam
B) EA
If it's a corrupted file somewhere at Steam or EA I'm SOL. I can't get anywhere in their support feedback loop.
What if I just reset my PC and reinstall Windows? If it's on my PC wouldn't a complete reset sort it out? What do you think?

@LeadM4gnet A fresh new windows install could solve it indeed.
Windows get cluttered with all kind of software , registry keys , temp files, ect ect ect and could get in an error.
There are many tools to cleanup system , but can also do more harm to the system <- becarefull with 3rd party cleanup tools.
A fresh install will make system faster and stabel. Only install thats needed for the system.
Then install game(s) and test it !
I always do a fresh , new windows install every +/- year , to keep it all speedy , stable and clean 😉

OK, I'll give that a try first chance I get. I'm busy the next few days but when I have time to reset and reinstall everything I'll let you know if it works.
Thanks again for your advice!

Hey, man! Happy New Year to you, brother!
I've been away from this problem for a long time but I finally had time to do that fresh Windows install and I wanted to keep my promise to let you know how it turned out.
TBH it took way longer than I thought it would because it didn't sit well with my HP when I tried the new install. I had to troubleshoot some issues before it would finally install. Tonight I got around to reinstalling BF V AND IT RUNS! I'm finally back in the fight.
Many thanks for your help when I was at my wits end with this thing -- 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 have a blessed year, my friend!
