Battlefield 1 (steam) is not launching, tried everything

Battlefield 1 not launching at all. I press play (doesn't matter if it's on steam or EA app), it says "preparing game", closes the EA app, then opens the EA app again while stopping the launch of BF1.  After stopping launch it boots up EA app for less than 1 sec with pop up - some features have been disabled because the ea app launched from another application after that it will lauch EA app normaly but still no boot with game.

Everything I've tried:

Reinstalling Battlefield 1 - nothing

Reinstaling, repairing, updating AntiCheat - nothing

updating registry - nothing

Reinstalling EA App - nothing


Repairing EA App - nothing

Clearing EA App Cache  - nothing

Verifying Game File Integrity on Steam  - nothing

Updating my graphics drivers - nothing

Changing compatibility modes of both Battlefield 1 and EA App, Steam (Windows 8 and Run as Admin in every combination) - nothing

Changing Battlefield 1 config file - nothing

Checked Windows Defender - nothing

Checked Firewall - nothing

Changing EA App installation path - nothing

I did everything 

Battlefield V and 2042 works fine.

I have 2 copies of BF1. One is on EA and second is on Steam. I downloaded BF1 from steam and it just wohnt boot. now i cant even boot up that copy from BF1.

Yesterday I once boot up that game and played for 4 hours. After i closed game it didnt boot up back.

Please help me. I really want to play that game :(

  • So I managed to boot up BF1 but everytime i want to boot it up i need to do clean reinstal off graphic drivers from NVIDIA GeForce. I have RTX 3070 8GB. Can you please try to fix this bug?

    i have 0 hope for EA, but lets see :D

    else im gonna uninstall BF1 and the EA Launcher and not gonna touch it for another 5 years

  • That is funny that it can crash pc. Yesterday i contacted EA support. They will give that case to dev team and they will hopefully try to fix it but for now they dont have fix. Also support told me to create this thread for dev team to search for this common problem so hopefully some dev will answer to this thread and fix this issue.

    yes i tried. And nothing changed. I tried moving and then deleting. 

  • Have you tried moving or deleting the Battlefield 1 folder out of the Documents folder?

    If you move it you'll have it as a backup. It contains all your mouse, keyboard, video, and sound settings.
