    Sorry, slight miscommunication there. Your issue is with your video drivers, not your hard drive.

    Assuming you have an NVIDIA video card, it is possible your machine may be defaulting to the video processing on your CPU rather than your nvidia GPU.

    1. Open the nvidia Control Panel
    2. Click Manage 3D settings
    3. Click the Program Settings tab
    4. Click the Add button
    5. Select the game from the list or click browse and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\STAR WARS Battlefront II\starwarsbattlefrontii.exe
    6. Select starwarsbattlefrontii.exe and then Open
    7. Customise individual settings if you like
    8. Exit nvidia control panel and try playing.

    Let us know if you have an AMD video card and if the above steps do not help, please post your Dxiag report here, thanks.

@EA_BarryI sincerely doubt that the drive is near failing. It has nearly a terabyte left and manages to hold and use all my other games flawlessly. Also, I currently do not have the game downloaded as I only have a 24 hour refund window and will not risk permanently spending 30 dollars on a game that I may not be able to use.

I do not mean nearly full, I mean near the end of its usable life, it may stop functioning soon.

    @EA_Barryto which I must say that I have only had said computer (and therefore drive) for a few months. I do not believe that there is a life issue. However, I would like to bring your attention to the error that appears. Anything you can tell me about that?

      Unfortunately, hard drives can fail at almost any time.

      Please do post the exact error you are seeing as that will help us troubleshoot, thanks.

      I would also like to ask about the possibility of a smooth game, without turning down the resolution so much I cannot see what is on the screen.
