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,...

@EA_Leeuw Origin was uninstalled automaticly when i installed EA app, then i reinstalled BFV again so it got a folder in the EA app, gave everything admin and went through with the normal troubleshooting procedure and restarted my computer with only the nessesary windows programs running but it still dit not launch but the error message i got earlier did not come this time

Community Manager@mrnoob14, gotcha. And how exactly do you own the game? Is this via a standalone purchase, or via EA Play (Pro)?
- EA_Leeuw@mrnoob14, alright. And can you see if you can install Origin again to see if you still get the same issue?
You can still download Origin via this website: http://www.dm.origin.com/download. How does a critical error like this can still exist for like months maybe even years?
i have the same issue. I bought the game when i had ea play for 12 months and i couldnt play for most of the time.
I bought the game on steam and everytime after press play it just switches back to play as if i never opened the game. I tried everything. literally everything and still nothing works.
But whats even worse is the customer support, they couldnt even help me with the most basic thing.
( i bought the bundle for like 13 euros and i can play nothing. No battlefont 2. No battlefield 1 and V. Nothing of it works)
i play BF V through steam when use origin it working fine
but earlier today i install and play BF2042 through Gamepass its change origin into EA app
now i can't play BF V through steam when i hit play on steam small blank window appear for a moment and close by itself after that about 10-15 seccond there are "unable to launch" window appear
i tried every solution in earlier comment still nothing

Hey @ConerZ,
You indeed need to use the EA app when claiming/wanting to play a game via the EA Play that you get via Xbox Game Pass.
If the EA app uninstalls Origin, you should be able to manually install it again and use both on your system. You can't use both at the same time, one has to be manually shut down before you can start the other. We all purchased the game through origin. My problem is the same issues. I bought the game but EA *snip* app probably thinks I don't own it. Is there a way to refresh the licenses?
CM edit: no need to be rude.
Good morning,
I got the Game Pass Ultimate from Microsoft and I had downloaded Battlefield V but without playing it... Today I bought Battlefield V on Steam and it crashes as soon as it starts... What to do ?- EA_LeeuwHey @sicca-ameria,
Having multiple versions of the same game installed on the same system, but via different launchers, can cause these sorts of issues. I would recommend uninstalling the BFV Xbox Game Pass version and after that performing a Repair of the BFV Steam version to see if that fixes the issue for you. Alright. I had done all of the previous steps other people had. I eventually unlinked onedrive from my computer and it started right up. No problems what so ever. Please try this step if you haven't!!!!
I just did a fresh windows install and installed EA and BFV and the same error comes up "Get an app to open this 'com.epicgames.launcher' Link Your PC doesn't have an app that can open this link. Try looking for a compatible app in the microsoft store.
Should we stop asking for help or is something going to get fixed?
