Re: BF1 won't start

Hey @TotoZel,

When you launch Battlefield 1, does it just crash back to desktop, and open up Origin again?

If so, here are some steps you can try that might solve the issue for you:

1. Uninstall/Reinstall Origin:

2. Clear Origin Cache:

3. Clean Boot:

4. Run Origin as Administrator

5. Run the BF1 exe file in your Program Files as Administrator

Give these a try, and let us know if you still need assistance.

Thank you 🙂

    When I run the game, I see nothing, the origin play button goes gray for 10 seconds and goes back to normal again.
    What happens is that the process starts, but goes nowhere and it just closes itself from what I can see in the task manager.
    On the other hand BF4 works fine, but when in the BF4 menu I click to join a BF1 server the same thing occurs, BF4 exits, BF1 never starts going.
    Shall try steps 1-3, I already tried steps 4 and 5.

    Since the beta of bf 5 came out I went to try it out, and the same problem as bf 1 happened, and I got really upset at that point. So I reinstalled origin and it resolved it. I didn't want to reinstall origin before because I was afraid it wont figure out all of my games forcing me to redownload the entire library.

  • BF1 crash now results in CTD every time Exit Origin restart BF1 not restart?
