Can't launch titanfall2 from Steam

Hey @LMS5100,

Are you running the game via Steam and trying to launch it from there?

If it still doesn't work, try uninstalling the other version you have of the game and then try again installing the new version via Steam. 

Also try repairing the game via Steam:

Ya, that was my next solution, but I added the Northstar mod so it was a bigger PITA and I would have preferred to avoid that. I'll give it a try and report back. Thank you

Okay, great, @LMS5100! Let us know if there are any further issues with it.

So I couldn't uninstall the original copy I had through EA. I had to remove the files manfully.

I did that and had no TF2 copy installed.

Reinstalled the steam version launched EA and the game was not found in my lib anymore and now I get this error which is a bit different, but I still can't play the game. I'm guessing my registry is corrupt or something, but who knows. 

I'm actually 100% out of ideas other than reinstalling windows which is totally insane. Can I please get a developer to help me out there, Is there an error log I can look at?

Update: Uninstall steam copy again.

I did a search for "titanfall" in my registry and proceeded to delete any key that was related to the exe or folder location. I removed about 15 to 20 items. I did not remove them all. there was a lot.

After that. I reinstalled the game again and it launched which is great news--but hold on. So this clearly is an issue with EA App thinking the game is somewhere where its not. I think there should be a button to re-point EA Desktop to the game files for the steam copy.  Pretty frustrating. However, to make matters worse I can't actually run TF2 from my original account anymore. The one were I'm G100. The game is not installed and EA Desktop won't let me install it.

Wackamole.

So EA thinks the game is installed. Its not. I did app recovery cache clear for EA and it did nothing.

Any suggestions?

So I copied the files to the folder the EA expected, but that did not resolve anything. 

EA Desktop will not let me 

1. Download the game

2. Show the play button

Can someone please tell me in what universe does the app not let me either download or run the game if I own it?  How hard can this be? I'm a little concerned I just lost access to my G100 account ☹️

@LMS5100, can you uninstall the game with the Revo Uninstaller? That would remove the game fully from your registry and might help here.

Then, try to install the Steam-Version again.

Is the Steam account also linked to the EA account on which you had G100?

I'll give that a try. The steam account is linked to a new account, not my G100.

I'm also to play on steam account now, but not my old account, I think i'll leave it like this for a while until I'm ready to switch back and then do the whole uninstall->reinstall situation. I believe this is a bug that no one has resolved with EA Desktop and TF2. 

Thank you for the suggestions Poppy.
