Battlefield V Steam Won't Launch x EA app
Just bought Battlefield V from steam today. As soon as I try to launch it, EA app opens up and I get the following error: "Error on our end caused your launch to fail"
I have tried the following:...

I bought BFV 2-3 days ago and ever since it won't launch. I have validated, reinstalled both BF and EA, Cleared EA Cache, made sure EA was able to go through the firewall, and everything that is out there. I also noticed that it doesn't show that BFV is even installed on the EA-installed game list and yet it's installed on steam. No clue whether EA is just having its normal program bugs ever since the switch from Origin to EA. Does anyone else have any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi everyone,
Is it possible that before you bought BFV via Steam, you also owned/played via the same EA account before, but via a different launcher? Is it possible that you own the game via multiple launchers?
I played it once way back when it first launched and I was gifted a week of EA Access, but that was several years ago, and ever since it hasn't been on my list of games I own.
- EA_Leeuw@DJTheFoxx, alright, so I assume that was via Origin?
Hi
I did own the game on Origin as part of the Origin subscription earlier a few years ago. Now I got it on steam (dont have the EA subscription anymore).
This won't help but I figured I'd put this out there, its happening to folks who purchased the game through Origin as well. I've owned the game since launch, have over 200 hours in game. You can find posts for this exact issue going back to October of 22 when they sunset origin. Like you, I've done the whole reinstall thing, cleared the cache, and hell, I even tried it on a different machine. NOTHING works. (The secondary machine never had BFV installed or origin or EA.) I keep checking back in every few months because I'm dying to go play the BFV campaign, but nothing ever gets fixed, not patch is ever made, and no advice they ever give works. At this point, I won't be buying another EA game ever again since they can't even guarantee I'll have access to the titles I paid for. (at full price at launch no less)
The one fix that worked for me was to delete any file assosiacted with EA ANTICHEAT, but first you need to go to task manager's services tab and stop the process otherwise it won't let you delete all the files, once you've done that restart the EA APP and start the game and it should work.
