battlefield 5 doesnt launch
Hello, I have a problem with launching battlefield 5 , bought it from steam. Talked with the EA support to provide fixes, every provided fix didnt help me with the issue. I've tried A LOT of fixes...
Forum Discussion
@MidouFox Deleted Teamviewer, still no luck.
@KapitonasVudis I installed bf4 today (bought it on the EA app), it doesn't use the anti-cheat, but it still didn't launch (told me to repair). I used to play Bf4 on this same machine just a few months ago. So I'm guessing it's something to do with the EA app?
- @KapitonasVudis FOUND SOLUTION!!!!!!!!!
This solves the game returning to EA app with no error, and also solves the problem that tells you to always repair. courtesy to this reddit post from 3 YEARS ago lol

I had at one point Dragon age inquisition installed, and with it Frosty mod manager, I knew that Frosty caused trouble so I deleted it but even then it didn't solve the problem (crashed kept happening).
To fix it you need to delete a key from the registry.
All you have to do is:
- Open registry (search for 'regedit')
- Press CTRL+F (or simply search)
- Look for "GAME_DATA_DIR"
- It will take a few seconds, but if it finds something (For me it had my old dragon age inquisition install dir), right-click on it and then remove.
- That's it, enjoy.
I hope you find this helpful everyone. Hey, the issue is still present, no fixes are useful.
@danisoff Maybe you have other fixes?
- @KapitonasVudis You are sure you have no unwanted program running right? for me I still need to launch my game as admin otherwise it won't launch. As a last resort a clean windows install will certainly fix the problem.
