Battlefield 1 will not start

1. Check Task Manager: Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and see if the game is running in the background. If it is, end the process and then try launching the game again.

2. Verify Game Files:

   • Steam: Right-click on the game in your library, select "Properties," go to the "Local Files" tab, and click "Verify integrity of game files."
   • EA App: Go to your library, right-click on the game, and select "Repair."

3. Run as Administrator: Try running both the Steam and EA apps as an administrator. Right-click the shortcut and select "Run as administrator."

4. Disable Background Applications: Close any unnecessary programs running in the background, especially overlays or recording software, as they might interfere with the game.

5. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date. You can do this through the manufacturer’s website (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel).

6. Check for Windows Updates: Make sure your operating system is fully updated.

7. Reinstall the Game: If the issue persists, consider uninstalling and reinstalling the game.

8. Check Security Software: Make sure your antivirus or firewall isn’t blocking the game. You might need to add exceptions for it.

9. Compatibility Settings: Right-click on the game executable, go to Properties, and check the Compatibility tab. Try running it in compatibility mode for an earlier version of Windows.

10. Contact Support: If none of these steps work, reaching out to EA Support or Steam Support with detailed information about the issue can provide further assistance.
