Battlefront 2 Will Not Launch

I have bought Star Wars Battlefront 2 on steam, I have tried everything clearing origin cash, reinstalling the game, reinstalling origins, etc. The game will not launch, when I hit play origin disappears then launches again as if nothing happened. The task manager says that the Battlefront application is suspended, I do not know what to do. I have a perfectly capable pc that runs many other games. This is my first origin game.

  • a couple ideas:

    - temporarily disable all the other stuff you have running

    - search the forum, as there are multiple posts on launching the game from Steam.

    BTW - It doesn't hurt to post your system details (i.e. via DXDIAG).

    By doing that, it basically wipes everything from the computer correct?

    Not if you keep all files and documents

    apps are only uninstalled (find in Windows.old)

     I ended up reinstalling windows, doesn't seem to have fixed the problem, the application in task manager doesn't show up at all, not even as suspended as it did in the past. Might just have to try and get a refund if I even can.

  • I did a full reinstall, and unfortunately I bought the game over two weeks ago so I can not get a refund. I just wish I could play it.

  • No, I'm having similar issues with the game crashing and no resolution. This is Occam's razor fam. The game just doesn't work anymore.

  • I also had this problem, It first started when I was using frosty mod manager with the game and it was working fine. Then randomly It started to do the thing with origin minimising then opening again and steam saying that it was running then it suddenly stopped. When I looked in task manager I also saw that battlefront 2 was suspended for a second and then was closed. Then this started happening when I wanted to open the game normally and not through the mod manager. I tried everything I could find but nothing worked.

    ( potential fix)

    Then I tried launching the trial bf2 that is located under the normal bf2 in my steam library or wherever you have it saved. It worked but was a little glitchy. Then when I tried opening the game normally It worked. So I'd recommend trying that. I have no Idea how it works or if it will continue to work. My mod manager still doesn't work so Idk anymore. Hope this works for you.
