Battlefront 2 immediately crashes upon start-up

I have never played battlefront 2 on my PC, and I have wanted to try it out due to it gaining a lot of popularity recently. So, I installed battlefront 2, clicked play, the red EA loading bar popped up saying "launching game..." for about 3 seconds, then went away and the EA app refreshed itself without launching the game. Absolutely no error code popped up at all, and I have tried: 

  • countless reinstalls and repairs
  • reinstalling graphics drivers
  • reinstalling visual C++ within the games folders 
  • checking software and game updates (there were none available)
  • performing a clean boot and clearing cache
  • uninstall and reinstall the EA app

 Unfortunately, battlefront 2 still does not work and I was instructed  by EA help to post a discussion on here and I am actively trying to find a way to repair the game. I will attach a screen recording below showing my issue.

If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

    Hey there ​ 

    Sorry to hear you're having issues getting the game to launch and I appreciate you letting us know what steps you've tried as well as providing a video of what happens.

    Would you be able to give us a DxDiag so we can look into this a bit further and see if theres any other steps we can try to see if we can get to the bottom of this for you.

    If you're unsure how to do that you can follow the steps in this article here
