EA Games won't launch

Hello, so when I try to launch BFV it doesn't work. No error, no nothing, it just loads the EA app, minimizes it and then loads it back up but the game wont launch. I tried launching it from both steam and ea app. I have it purchased on steam.

I tried reinstalling everything, every app, deleted cache. I have everything updated since I reinstalled windows a week ago. It worked before, but for whatever reason it doesn't now.
Also two days ago I downloaded the free trial of BF 2042 to try it out. But when I wanted to launch the game it didn't work. Same thing as Battlefield V. I don't know what else to do.

    I've tried everything in every thread and can't get the app to work. 

    EA are you going to help all these people with this issue or just keep ignoring us??

  • I've found the solution by disabling the Intel Arc App and other apps from Intel that were used for video driver. Go to Task Manager and disable the auto start with Windows and restart your PC

    I also had these problems, i deinstalled mcAfee even though i never used it or had a subscription. That fixed it

  • Oh boy, a hundred & one solutions & none of them work. Let me update this dog's breakfast: it's November 2024 & the Bioware trio(Inquisition, Andromeda & SWB2)  STILL won't fire up. Sweet. At least I still have my memories...sigh, alas...
