BF1 wont launch, along with Battlefront 2

For around a couple months now I've had this ongoing problem with Battlefield 1 not launching. I've tried practically everything but still it starts, brings me to the loading screen with a little green bar at the bottom, and then disappears and brings me back to the EA app without an error popup or anything. I've uninstalled both the EA app and BF1, cleared cache, verified the files, and a lot of other things but nothing seems to work.

I've also had this problem with Battlefront 2. The first time I installed it and tried to launch it a couple months back, it crashed the same way and I worked all night to get it running but it never worked. I ended up having to refund it and was a huge bummer since I wanted to play it so badly.

The crazy thing is that sims 4 still works and launches like normal. I'm honestly doubting if I can fix it at this point but if anyone has any new solutions I'd love to try them.

  • Same issue here. It's probably related to kernel level EA Anticheat but the crazy part was, as an AMD user, I was able to launch the game for once before I installed AMD Adrenalin Edition Software. Once I installed it, I was unable to login to game.

    The launcher basically starts, then initializes the EA Anticheat, then immediately crashes and returns to EA App. The astonishing lack of debugging by the end-user restricted by EA is horrible, the most poorly designed engineering I've ever encountered in any game I've played. 

    There is a clear problem that obstructs you to play your game you've paid and rightfully have permission to play, yet EA still hasn't patched this, let alone describing the issue...

    For the record, I was able to launch the game with this steps:

    1. Do a full format and erase all data from your computer (basically reset it)
    2. Install Windows (10 IoT LTSC in my case) without installing AMD graphics card
    3. Install Battlefield 1 and run it. 

    For some miracle, it did launch. Then it crashes and crashes again...
