Hi There! This really needs to be fixed between Steam and EA with connections to their 3rd party app, but do the following:

2. Open "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE";
3. Open "SOFTWARE";
4. Locate and open the "EA Games" folder;
5. Open the Battlefield V folder;
6. At this point you should have some register entries on the right side, one of them is the "Install Dir", double click on it;

8. Close the Register Editor and it should do the trick.

    @mockingmjayCan you please help me with the registry values because I need to manually add them. I have been stuck in a validating loop since forever.
