Battlefield 5 will not launch no matter what I do

My Battlefield 5 will not launch no matter what I do, I purchased the game on steam several months ago and no fix ive tried has worked, a screen with the bfv like poster pops up with a white loading bar on the bottom and when the bar is complete it just closes the window and reboots EA app, in task manager the bfv exe does not even go all the way up in usage it just pops up for a couple seconds not even at the top like 5 spaces down and disappears, ive already contacted support about this, ive tried:

-Reinstalling both the game and EA app multiple times

-repairing EA app

-verifying integrity of files through steam

-letting through firewall

-letting the exe through

-checking for GAME_DATA in environmental variable's

-running both bfv and EA app as administrator 

-clearing EA app cache

-deleting bfv files in documents 

-making sure my clock on my pc is set under find time automatically (a couple videos had this as a fix)

-deleting bfv files in registry editor under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (i think that was the path)

-going in task manager and closing EA background services before launching bfv

None of these fixes have worked and this is only a problem for bfv, the only other game i use EA app for which is star wats battlefront 2 works completely fine, granted that is through epic games and not steam so idk if steam is being a problem here or the EA app, or if there is a problem like the EA app is not finding the right path to my install location, but is there any fixes for launching battlefield 5 that i have not tried yet?, And also i dont use a vpn and my pc meets and exceeds the game requirements

  • i have the same problem with 2042 as well. both games worked fine up until about a week ago. i have even wiped my hard drive and reinstalled windows and it still doesnt work

  • You can probably ask the EA help center. I had this problem and asked them for help. In a few days i could launch the game.

  • @秘密地godatbf2 Previously, I also encountered your situation. My solution was to reinstall the system and reinstall the game plugins. I'm using Windows 11.
