Cannot Launch Game

Hello. I am having a really bad issue with Origin not launching any BF game at all. This includes game from 3 to V. I am on W10 version 20H2 and have tried literally all forms of troubleshooting to no avail.

I have as follows:

  • Run everything under as Admin as well as not.
  • Wiped the cache,
  • Deleted and clean booted Origin registry files
  • Reinstalled on different drives

3 loads Battlelog, but then doesn’t boot the campaign.

4 says it needs to repair right after a fresh install every time.

V does not even provide me an error message when I press play

  • Origin overlay, cloud saving, firewall, and any other startup apps have all been disabled
  • All drivers are on their latest versions
  • I have tried installing the Origin thin setup and reinstalling with the full Origin full 236mb setup
  • shown hidden files in the EAinstaller folder in C:\Program folders
  • unchecked run as admin
  • tried to repair each game
  • turn off and uninstall any VPN for DRM purposes, used CC cleaner and IObit Unistaller to clean the registry.

The only thing I CAN tell which is strange is that when the games are installed, they do not create a specified folder in the My Documents folder for saved games or profile settings. I at one point had BF 1 installed and I noticed that origin never installed there at all.

Titanfall 2 and 1 work fine.

    Hi @theguyoverther

    Have you tried starting up your PC in a Clean Boot to see if that makes any difference? If something is blocking the games from launching that could help get around it. 

    You can find more details on how to set up a Clean Boot at the EA Help website. Once you've had the chance to give that a shot please let me know how it goes. Thanks!

  • @EA_Kent Hello! I did this, but nothing worked at all. On BF3, it loads up Battlelog and right as I press start campaign it shows the BF3.exe in task manager and then disappears. I have tried this about two times now.

    @theguyoverther 

    Thanks for giving it a shot!


    I am curious, what happens if you try launching any of the games through a different Windows Admin user account? If you need more info on how to create one check out the Microsoft Support site

    Let me know if you're able to launch the games on a different Admin user, or if you run into the same issues. Thanks again!

  • @EA_Kent Funnily enough, that works! Wow, so strange. But, BF V is stuck on a black loading screen and cannot get to the main menu. Now, I don’t mind keeping this profile to play rather than figure out what is wrong, but what could help with the BF v issue?
