BF1 Not Launching After 3GB update on 2018/03/27

Hey @GDI_Lord,

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue.

I see you've tried some other Troubleshooting steps.

However, have you tried launching Origin as Administrator?

Also, you can try launching the Battlefield 1 executable file in your Program Files as Administrator as well.

Make sure you have the Origin In-Game Overlay turned off in the Origin Launcher as well, since this can cause some issues as well.

Let us know if you still need assistance.

Thank you 🙂 

I have the same problem!!

The rest of the stuff you usually suggest doesn't work

I know you say you fixed matchmaking... but hell.......  ITS COMPLETELY BROKEN!! 

But of course...origin says im playing BF1... The track history of Dice and BF series.... i have lost faith! 

Hello @iluminatethesky

Thank you for your replies. As indicated, I've run Origin as admin already, no joy. I tried running BF1.EXE as admin now, nothing. I tried turning the origin in-game off, no dice.

I did a procmon trace in case it would help. BF1 runs for 10 secs, loads 160MB worth of stuff into memory and then exits with an exit code of -3. Devteam, what did you code "-3" to mean? Also, I saw in another question somewhere that someone else also noticed that BF1 on their particular issue loaded up +-160MB of RAM and then crashed. Is that just BF1 doing the cloud sync?

If you want the full trace, how can I send it to you in private please?

Thank you
GDI Lord

one thing we have in common is we both have the i7-6700

I doubt that has anything to do with it, but I've been wrong before.

yeah.... im grasping at straws now

GDI i sent you a friend request on origin... if u find a fix could you send me a message? thanks

@GDI_Lord,

Please try some of the following steps:

1. Clear your Origin Cache:

2. Run a Clean Boot on your PC:

https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/

3. Manually Uninstall/Reinstall Origin:

If these steps don't work for you, I recommend contacting EA Support via Live Chat here:

Hope this helps.

Thanks 🙂

Since downloading the game is going to be a pain for you i am going to leave it going overnight / re-download the whole thing - see what happens...

@GDI_Lord

@iluminatethesky

I can confirm for me downloading the entire game again fixed this issue
