Battlefield 5 Won't Launch
Battlefield 4 and 5 won't launch. Downloaded both again recently and when I launch the game Origin minimizes and then reappears and the play button highlights again. I've tried clearing Origin cache,...

Hi,
Sadly its the same here, i've done it all, and game just don't start.
I have the latest drivers, Windows10, game fully updated etc..
What is extra strange is that i was playing the game for more than a year without issues, and one day - out of the blue, game just don't start.
Every other game works like a charm.
My questions is when EA will actually at least update the game to make it playable - not even to fix the long list of bugs...?

Community ManagerHey @Loopper11,
If it has worked without issue for the majority of the time, and it suddenly just stops working for you, it's most likely that you have installed something on your PC that is now preventing the game from working as intended. We haven't done any changes to Battlefield V since its last patch, and I doubt there will be new updates to the game.
Are you playing the game via Steam, Origin or the EA app? Did you have any Windows updates recently by any chance?

- @EA_Leeuw I was using Steam/Origin. Now i am using Steam/EA app, same result on both end. No new software is installed on that PC last few months. Only i get on monthly bases Windows 10 updates. But nothing else that is "Strange" I can confirm that all proposed solutions in this topic were tried - nothing works.
I never had any issues for ANY other game, how we can explain that?- EA_Leeuw

Alright, so you own the game via Steam, right? And you now launch the game via Steam, which opened the EA app, and after that, the game should launch, right?
@EA_LeeuwCorrect, as usual it was working well, i was starting Steam as "admin" then i can see EA is side loaded "as Admin" too, and in few seconds game was loading. Now it's not the case.
BF5 executable is also changed to be loaded as "Admin"...THE SOLUTION - that worked with me -
go to - C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop
add Admin rights to:
- EADesktop.exe
- EALuncher.exe
- EALocalHostSvc.exe
That work'ed for me - now the game is working...again. That is not a problem with Windows 10. Anyway - HAVE FUN.
Good afternoon, I once have bought battlefield V in steam, it was in 2021 , I had a dozens of good hours of gameplay with friends of mine, but I uninstalled it. 2 times ago I wanted to play it once again, but after downloading it from steam I was not able to launch it. While I'm launching it from steam, EA shows the error : "Your game failed to launch An error on our end caused your launch to fail" .
Ok, I started to find solutions, I have tried to clear steam's and ea's caches, updated windows, drivers, did the app recovery, changed the name of outdatedEADesktop to Ea Desktop, validated my Battlefield V in steam, uncheck and check the run as administrator, but nothing works.
Besides, I have the downloaded battlefield 1 and it works correctly(maybe because it was bought in origin, but not in steam). Also, when I'm trying to launch it as exe. EA Desktop shows the error : "You Don't Have Access".
May you help me please! <3
