ive tried to launch my game and it says that it requires admin previllages, i have then applied "run program as admin" to the BF1.exe, EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe, EAAntiCheat.Installer.Tool.exe and the EA app.and it is still requiring admin perms any ideas?

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?

Same here. THERE IS NO ERROR MESSAGE. Please escalate the issue immediately, EA_Rtas. This is a widespread issue. Your game has been abandoned by the dev team and now people are having problems launching the game. It's probably a simple issue for EA to fix, but the issue is BF1 HAS BEEN ABANDONED BY EA + DEVS. That is the problem. It's a popular game and would be far more popular if it was supported by EA!Every time I try to run BF1, the EA Desktop app asks for Admin priveledges, even though I have the EA Desktop AND BF1.exe set to 'run as administrator' for the .exe properties. It then asks, every time, to activate the game. The activation closes with no error message and the EA desktop app comes to front with no error message. This started after updating Win11 from 22H2 to 24H2. I've checked and no software seems to be blocking internet for any of the services related to EA nor BF1. All is going through, including the activation executable.Win11 24h2 with all Visual-C-Runtimes updated to latest. Manually ran the 2013 vcredist_x64 in the BF1 folder.RTX 4090, AMD 9800X3D. X870 chipset mobo. 32GB RAM. Very new drivers on everything.

Hi everyone, I've merged some threads together to collect the feedback and any potential solution(s) in one place.

Does the game or EA Desktop require TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module version 2.0) ? It may, potentially, if it uses EA Javelin. I play on console, so I'm not 100% on which version of anti-cheat BF1 uses, but these steps should tell you, though. Go to the EA app. Choose your game. Select Manage, then View Properties. Select Browse. If your game uses EA Javelin Anticheat, EA Javelin Anticheat files will be visible in this folder. Steps taken from this guide: https://help.ea.com/uk/help/pc/ea-anticheat/

Does your Windows account have administrator privileges? To determine if your Windows account has administrative privileges, navigate to Settings > Accounts > Your info. If the account is an administrator, it will be indicated under your name.

We need a patch for BF1 and/or EA launcher to fix launching in Win 24H2 issue please. Will BF1 ever be updated again? Why does EA abandon patch support for their popular online titles? It doesn't make sense!
