I have the same problem, it started with the Kenobi patch on November 28th, the game keeps loading for a long time then crashes to desktop without errors, I try a couple of times then it loads. At first i thought that was servers were overloaded because of the new content but it keeps happening since then. I had a lot of problems with the game and finally it was working great until that patch.
Support responded to my bug report and told me to rename the "STAR WARS Battlefront II" folder in my documents, this folder holds some cache files and game settings. when you launch the game it create a new one and that fixed my problem.
Spoke too early, started doing the same thing after I restarted my computer.
Avast is the problem, when I originally tested renaming the game folder on documents, I also disabled Avast. When I restarted the computer the problem started again because Avast wasn't enabled, I tried putting the game folder in the Avast exclusions but it doesn't make any difference, It has to be disabled for the game to work properly.
EA Staff (Retired)Hey @B26354
I'm happy to hear that you've managed to figure this out yourself. Unfortunately, some antivirus programs are not "best friends" with Origin or our games ☹️
