Hello. I have a minor issue regarding Battlefield 1. Just bought it, installed it, and the Icon on the desktop is just the normal one (the same i have for Star Wars battlefront). When i go into the folder itself i see that bf1 has a diffirent Icon, but it does not appear no matter what i do on my desktop. Any ideas ?
This is a problem then using Swedish Windows 10.
Solve the problem by by changing Windows display language to English.

@KaiserMikael If you go to the game installation folder (default location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 1) , right click bf1.exe and select 'Send To - Desktop', the new short cut created still have the wrong picture?
Yes it does same Icon..
@KaiserMikael Could you please take a screenshot of the two icons and post it here, so I can see exactly what is going on?
For instructions on how to take a screenshot on PC, please see the following article: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Pogo/Capturing-a-screen-s
To post a screen on AHQ select 'Choose File' option below the post box and upload the screenshot you just took.
PS! Just for reference, this what my BF 1 shortcut looks like (after I renamed it to just BF1 🙂):
See attached image. I show some of the logos that sh ows that it is the same as starwars battlefront and also that in the correct folder the Icon is correct.
@KaiserMikael I see, thanks for that! It looks like you have set up a custom icon for desktop shortcuts. You can change single icons if you go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Personalization - Change Desktop icons - Change Icon/Restore Default.
It could also be that you have assigned a specif icon to a certain file type (.exe in this case) using a theme. If you look for "custom desktop icons" there are quite a few user guides on how to do and undo this 🙂
Let us know if you have any other questions!
Nope that is not it. Did what you said, still same thing. And it is not a exe-issue that is assigned like that, the only Icons with that logo is EA-games. No problem anywhere else and there are loads of exe-files on the computer..
Weird thing though is that even if i manually try to change the Icon (right click, change Icon) it appears the II symbol and not the one i see in default.
No more help ? 🙂 Am asking Microsoft as well if they can assist on their forum.
Did you ever find a solution for this? This has plagued me for years and from what I can tell it has only occured with Frostbite-games. Battlefield 4, Battlefield 1, Dragon Age Inquisition, STAR WARS Battlefront, Plants vs Zombies. All of these games have this icon and I'm at the point where this is about to drive me mad.
Sad to hear about your issue, but somewhat a relief that i am not alone. It frustrates me more and more... but nobody seems to be able to solve it. Microsoft tried (support-thread in Swedish but the same problem, google translate can probably help: https://answers.microsoft.com/sv-se/windows/forum/windows_10-desktop/ikonen-byter-skepnad-beroende-p%C3%A5-storlek/66d1aa6a-d451-4286-a3a9-7fb1bbf2bd1c) but im stuck with the issue....
I am also Swedish and there seems to have been even more people that had this issue on Sweclockers, a Swedish forum. Either us Swedes are just really unlucky or maybe it could have something to do with the localization of your PC?
