Title sums it up, BF1 will not launch. Tried launching from the desktop icon and from inside origin. When I click the game I see the blue wheel mouse curser like its going to launch, then nothing. Task manager never shows an instance of BF1 in the tray. Running I7 6700k, 16gb ram, Nvidia GTX 980, Windows 10 64 bit. Drivers are up to date, game was playing flawlessly up till the patch today. Thanks a bunch EA :/

On a lark I tried origins repair game function, took about fifteen minutes to verify files and it worked, I'm back in the game with no other issues. Update must have corrupted a file, luckily the repair diagnostic tool built into origin fixed it.

@saberforge Thanks for the post and update. @FeraKnight Are you encountering exactly the same issue? There have been various reports of different issues, but most don't manifest in exactly this way.

I'm having exactly this Issue as well

@EA_David i did not have issues playing BF1 theough Origin before update and now having critical issue. Game is up to date, been repaired, and various other methods have been tried to fix issue.Issue for me is: start game through Origin, came will load in my background processes. After about 20-45 seconds i will see game window appear (blank) and process will move to running apps in task manager. After a few seconds i will see the custom loading "dots" in a circular pattern start and then window will close, as well as the process in task manager with no error messages. Things i have tried: Delete settings folder in <user>\Documents\battlefield1 folder Make sure in profile that DX 12 is set to '0' Force uninstalled video drivers and installed latest driver (nvidia gx950) Repair game in Origin platform Try and check for updates in Origin plateform (up to date) I do not have overcocking software running ie: afterburner One event in Windows 10 (64 bit) critical error Origin lost communication witb windows, but was unable to recreate that error again. I am not at home, but i can upload dxdiag once i return home. I found no errors there upon quick look

BF1 Will not launch, happened as soon as I did the 11/15/16 update

The same thing to me dude.

I opened the task manager and the process appears loading to 5mb to 100mb and viceversa, then stop and dissapear from tasks.

Thanks for the extra detail. So I understand, as far as crash reporting goes you see 1 event with Origin losing contact with Windows, but there are no reports for a BF1 shutdown?

The timing doesn't really match perfectly, but I wonder if this could be a security software issue. Perhaps since the update an online component of BF1 is being blocked.

If you go offline fully, does the same issue manifest or can you get to the main menu/campaign?

@EA_David:

Unplugged from internet, and tested your theory, twice, and still same results.

Also, timed battlefield process in task manager. It runs between 1:02 (1 minute, 2 seconds) and 1:05 (1 minute, 5 seconds). Then application windows pops up like it is going to load and then 2 seconds later the window closes with no error message.

Attaching DxDiag just in case that is helpful.

@xNooDLExx Your issue is separate from the one described here, from your other posts it manifests in a very different manner.

Are you playing the EA Access trial? if so, this has an issue that prevents players from accessing the server. This is known about and being worked on, but there's no workaround for now, sorry.

@Lyingbee Thanks. I think I may need to refer you to tech support, they can take a close look at your msinfo, which should contain enough info to take a closer look. Hopefully that won't be needed, for the next step can you restart your system with a Clean Boot and temporarily disable your anti-virus, and try again.

You've tried some elements of this so I fear that it may not work, but i'l like to try this before sending you on.
