Sounds very frustrating! I would be going nuts!
I would recommend, uninstalling Battlefield and the Origin Client. (as it seems you are experiencing a file issue rather than a display one - skip a clean GPU driver install)
Run CCleaner to remove any risidual files hanging on and clear the registry, I would clear the temp and %temp% folders aswell (Winkey + R).
Re-install both Origin client and Battlefield, long I know - but should fix the issue.
Best of luck!
I've tried basically every step listed in this thread and the game still will not launch for me on my stepson's PC. It was working absolutely fine yesterday/last night and after today's update i'm having the exact issue described by everyone above. I've been attempting to troubleshoot for almost 4 hours now. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP MAKE THIS GAME RUN!!!!
FIXED IT!!!
So I went through pretty much all the steps in this thread but was still having the same launch error. My more-tech-saavy brother asked if I had been deleting user settings as I reinstalled things like Origin and BFV.. so I went into user/documents/battlefieldV and deleted the settings file, rebooted and the game launched no problem.
I hope this can help some of you!
- @OdisGrey - You are a boss! I tried everything - deleting my temp folders, the game, origin, reinstalling it all, almost went to editing the registry. Seems though that the issue lies in the settings if you have dx12 enabled. Deleting the settings will default it back to dx11, and it should launch no problem! Thanks again!
Hi Everyone,
I had the same problem and what i also want to point out is Windows 10 Fast startup. If this is enabled your computer isn't really shutting down.
Try disabling this feature under Control panel -> Power options -> Choose what he power buttons does -> Change setting that are currently unavailable -> uncheck fast startup -> Save changes -> Reboot -> try again
Hope this will help for some who having trouble starting BFV.
this did the trick for me too thanks
