Battlefront 2 not launching?
I have this problem on the Steam version and so far I've tried:
- Verifying the cache on Steam
- Repairing on Origin™
- Disabling the Origin™ overlay
- Disabling cloud save on Origin™
- Launching the EXE as admin and compatibility modes for Windows 7 and 8
- Reinstalling Origin™
- Clearing Origin™'s cache (and restarting the computer)
- Deleting the settings folder
- Deleting both EXE files and verifying the cache
- Reinstalling the whole game
- Cleaning my NVIDIA™ drivers with DDU and installing the latest drivers for my GPU
- Launching Origin™ as admin
For a miracle of goddamn divine nature, I decided to do one more fearless effort before posting and did a leap of faith on launching Steam as administrator, which finally led to the game actually launching and hopefully staying that way, because I know better than to trust half a minute of something working on a computer. After all, this happened to me while I did absolutely nothing to change the game or Steam (to a point where I actually thought it was already running with admin perms, since I did that ages ago and never touched it again myself). Hope it at least helps someone who looks up the issue online (God knows I've been seeing threads from years ago on this).
*: So the game launched once, I lowered the settings and went to singleplayer to redo all my settings, which led to this one quirky thing: the singleplayer rubberbanding I've previously solved was now back and I honestly can't say I feel like jumping through two million * hoops just to play this game. There's a limit to how much someone should be willing to do cartwheels and backflips just to play something that launched not even 5 years ago. I stressed "once" before because now I can't even go back in to troubleshoot the garbage rubberbanding. I sure hope Steam gets me a refund on this based on the game being literally unplayable.
