I just don't have these problems with Steam EA. Shutdown your craptacular Origin service, sell your games on Steam and you can lay-off 75% of your tech support staff trying to support customers on your lamea$$ online distribution platform. You will actually end up with more profits in the long run because you will sell more games since people will be able to play the games. But NO EA can't let anyone else make money, they have to control it all - greedy corporate pigs. GO BACK TO LETTING US BUY EA GAMES ON STEAM. CLOSE DOWN THE WHOLE ORIGIN DIVISION AND BANK THE MONEY. AND SPIN DICE OFF SO THEY CAN JUST MAKE GREAT GAMES AND NOT BE UNDER YOUR CORPORATE OPPRESSION.
So it looks like this issue might be with my "My Documents" Folder being redirected to a network folder mapped drive. Apparently Origin doesn't know where to create or look for the \Battlefield V\Settings folder. It has tried to create it on the root of the C drive, but only creates the screenshots folder and not the settings folder.
- 7 years agoWell I just got of the phone for the third time with EA tech support. And they were not helpful. When I told them that I can connect to EA Servers if I login under different Windows User with my Origin ID, the game will work. Tech Support answer is that is what I should do. Just play under the other user. They can't help me figure out what is wrong with origin or BFV or BF1 under my current windows user. Completely pathetic. I tried running the programs as administrator and that doesn't work under my Windows user, but if I run the programs BFV BF1 logged in as different Windows user I can connect to EA servers. Explain that.
- 7 years agoYeah im just to tired of this now....
Every single time i try any gamemods it will say `` Connection to EA online timed out. Your network bandwith and/or network latency may not meet the requirements for this game`` I mean, it has to be so many with the same probs??? * EA do something! - 7 years agoFollow this link: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/connection-troubleshooting-advanced-pc/

Files in your main account got corrupted. This is a problem in your Windows installation, not with Origin or the game, and therefor it is not up to the EA support to solve it.
Solutions:
Try the main account again. Sometimes creating a new account will solve the problem in the main account. (Because files got replaced globally)
If that don't works, move the main account user data to the second account, (Link) or preform a fresh installation of Windows.
- 7 years ago@holger1405 - Dude you are missing my point. Origin Sucks. I just don't have these kinds of technical issues with games I buy through Steam. If my Windows User file is corrupted, it doesn't stop me from playing any of my Steam games, or any of my other installed programs for that matter. Just the garbage games from EA on Origin. SO the point is, I would be enjoying my games developed by DICE (a great developed ruined by a megacorp publisher) if they were digitally distributed on Steam instead of being sold by EA on Origin. EA used to sell their games on Steam, but no, Greedy Pigs EA had to have all the money for themselves, they couldn't sell on someone else's digital distribution. SO they created the abortion that is Origin. So if I can play every game and run every other program under my Windows User, it's an EA problem. But EA sucks and they couldn't solve their way out of a wet paper bag. All Users who agree XP me.
"Easy.
