Origin fails to launch the game beyond a cloud sync
Win10x64 (v1607), i7-4770, 16GB, R9 270X (v16.12.1), X-Fi Titanium (v2.40.15).
When I try and start the game from Origin (for the first time ever), it does a quick Cloud Sync, and then after a bit of spinning blue circle, the "Play" Button becomes available to be clicked again. There is no error message.
I can see bf1.exe is launched and this opens activationui.exe. They then close in reverse order. Note that on first ever attempt, the firewall would have briefly blocked activationui.exe (and bf1.exe) from accessing the Internet until I'd clicked on the allow button. Does an initial activation sort of process have to be reattempted perhaps?
I've tried the following:
- a Repair from within Origin
- changing default browser from Chrome to Edge
- disabling BitDefender's On-Access scanning
- disabling outbound firewall
- disabling HitmanPro.Alert's Exploit Protection
All my other games on Origin, Steam and Uplay are fine, including BF4.
Do you have any suggestions as to what sorts of problems can cause this sort of error condition? Thanks for looking!
Origin has just installed a 250MB+ update for Battlefield 1.
Now the game launches fine!
Thanks for all your many efforts and patience @EA_Archi @Straatford87 @MADrag0n @EA_Barry!
