    Hey there Player_46ajqcfw​ 


    Sorry to hear you're running into this and that it's affecting so many games.

    Would you be able to let us know the exact error you're seeing when trying to launch the game?

    A screenshot would be the most helpful

  • Recently I got BF1, 3, 4 and 5. 

    Installed 1, didn't launch, I troubleshot for many hours, didn't work, uninstalled.

    Installed 3, didn't launch, I troubleshot for many hours, didn't work, uninstalled.

    Installed 4, didn't launch, I troubleshot for many hours, didn't work, Im about to uninstalled this too.

    When I say troubleshoot, I mean I read and tried everything up to page 3 of google on each one, just today I lost my entire morning on trying to fix 4, reinstall, verify files, download DLL, update drivers, nothing works. At least with 4, it used to give me an error code, did all that, and now it just doesnt start, which honestly is worse because I dont ever get a error message, the game simply does not start, what now?

    Is this an EA/Origin thing? I played Inquisition on this same PC last year, so what gives with BF?
