Re: Battlefield 5 Won't Launch

So, you need to locate the folder where the install of the ea app is.

For me it was C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop

Then, you need to right click on "EALauncher.exe", then click properties, then on the "Compatibility" tab I turned on "Disable fullscreen optimizations" and "Run this program as an administrator" and hit apply.

Repeat the same process for the "Link2ea.exe" just enable the "compatibility mode" where it says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select Windows 7 and you don't need to select the "Disable fullscreen optimizations".

Apart from those changes, I also have whitelisted the "bfv.exe" and the previous 2 ".exe"s in the Windows firewall and in the antivirus I have.

This is what worked for me, if you need anymore help, let me know and I will try to help as much as I can. 

Take care!
