Installation Errors - PC
FINAL UPDATE:
The game has finally managed to install itself. On my final attempt, I tried a series of fixes, so if you want one that will definitely work, I'm afraid that I can't give you what you desire. Try all of them at once if you can.
Here's what I did:
- Disabled my antivirus entirely
- Disabled my firewall
- Disabled User Account Control
- Reinstalled Origin - use the hard uninstall first, as Ragnarok suggested in this thread
- Deleted all temporary files in my C drive
- Shut down most of your programs (such as my mouse software)
- Rename your install log text file - don't know if this did anything, but who knows XD
- Ensure that the EA folder in your Common Files folder (in your Program Files folder) is no longer hidden
The last step was done after coming across this thread:
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Error-327684-2/td-p/6937746
So, this sordid affair has come to a conclusion. I have to say that the Origin client is more trouble than it's worth at the moment, especially if I can expect such a nightmare again should I choose to uninstall BFV, which I won't do unless the Pacific content is underwhelming.
I do appreciate all of the suggestions that I received in this thread, and it could very well be possible that each solution alleviated my issues partly. I just wish that I could say that there was one 'ultimate' solution to this, but alas, life is more complicated than that.
Thank you, and farewell.
