Re: Origin error "Well That Didn't Go as Planned" when launching Battlefield 2042 PC

@Darkikiki 

In Task Manager make sure Origin Client Service and Origin Web Helper Service were disabled

first "view hidden files and folders" Show hidden files -> https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files-0320fe58-0117-fd59-6851-9b7f9840fdb2
Delete Origin folder in C:\ProgramData\ (Do not delete the LOCAL CONTENT folder in this origin folder)
Delete Origin folder in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\
Delete Origin folder in C:\Users\ <username> \AppData\Roaming\
[Admin. addition] - If these steps do not help then try the following, posted below by EA_Nils: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Well-that-didn-t-go-as-planned/m-p/5543899#M217029

    Suprisingly, it ended working!!

    Thanks @Rokebo73 🙂

    Below are the steps I followed:

    1- Manually uninstall Origin + remove these 3 folders:
    a. Delete Origin folder in C:\ProgramData\ (Do not delete the LOCAL CONTENT folder in this origin folder)
    b. Delete Origin folder in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\
    c. Delete Origin folder in C:\Users\ <username> \AppData\Roaming\
    2- Run CCleaner (Health Checkup + Customized clean up + Registry clean up)
    3- Restart the router/modem + unplug any electricity source from the computer for a few minutes
    4- Do a Clean Boot (deactivating all non microsoft services, only leaving Steam Service).
    5- Download the latest version of Origin and install it with admin rights (click right on the launcher and select "Run as administrator").
    6- Launch Battlefield 2042 from Steam
    7- It worked for me!
