@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?

@Loopper11, fairly simple. We can't. Computers can be strange things sometimes. 🙂 Therefore the only things we can try are troubleshooting steps to try to solve the issue.
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.- EA_LeeuwHey @Loopper11,
Good to hear that this has fixed the issue for you.
If the situation changes, feel free to update the thread! @Loopper11i was using origin on windows 11, tried everything, then i downloaded the app and i tried what worked for you but now the app says "an error on our end caused your launch to fail. try again a little later"
any solutions @EA_Leeuw?
