i managed to get it to work, do the following:
go to "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop"
then right click ea launcher and hit properties

repeat for all the exe's in that folder, not sure its needed for all of them but i i did it just in case and it ended up working.
you may have to open up task manager before you run the game and end the process called "EA background service" so that it can restart as admin when you start the game.

It worked me like a charm. Thanks!! Support was not responding on this case for a while..
I have this problem for years. It started with Battlefront 2, now BF2 fixed by itself and Battlefield games are not launching. I really don't know what fixed BF2 but it is working now. It's a real shame that I can't play the games I BOUGHT!
- @frithechosen I finally found the solution!
search for "edit environment variables for your account" in start menu and run it. at the top there will be something like GAME DATA and next to it will be battlefront 2 or frosty's location, I don't remember exactly, select and delete it. then delete frosty by deleting the installed folder. then go to the battlefront 2 folder and delete the "ModData" folder and restart the computer.
Enjoy your game 🙂I feel the urge to share my solution. I had problems with half my EA App games.
This has worked brilliantly for me. Do not ask why. It just does.
What you need to do is create a new admin user.
Go to Settings -> Accounts -> Family and other Users
Then create a new User.
It is going to ask for a microsoft login. You dont know the login.
It is going to prompt you to create an account. You want to add an User without Microsoft Account.
Make a random username and a password. remember the password!
You now should have a new User. Click on it, then Click 'Change Accounttype'
then click 'Standard User' and change it to 'Admin'.
Log out of your main user and into your new user. Games should be there, depending on where you downloaded them.
They should run perfectly now!
EA is really bad, EA App worse and EA Support the worst.
Hopefully this helps someone! (Please excuse wrong translations - english isnt my first language.)
