I already uninstalled the Epic Launcher and it didn't work, but I won't request a refund to the Epic, it's my right. EA has to make it work for both a Launcher (Epic) and another (Steam), I'm paying for the EA Play on Steam and I want my game on Steam, and I have a Copy on Epic and I want my copy on Epic. That simple!!!

Hey everyone,

One idea I have seen is to uninstall both versions of the game and then install Steam version and try to start the game again on Steam and see if that helps.

Let me know if that helps.

(Issue is being tracked by us)

@EA_Atic Thanks for at least trying to help. But you see, the problem is I have not installed the game on epic, it automatically was assigned to the Steam game file and probably overwrote the Steam game Authentification code since it was another copy of the game

  I have same problem. I own the deluxe version on Origin. Got the free version on epic and it found my Origin version without me installing it and all my DLC is dead now. They invent ways to mess things up. I have never had this trouble before with any other duplicates from Epic.

@EA_Atic Is it possible to remove my EGS version of Battlefront from my Origin account?

  Thus far seems not, people have reported having it in the inventory even after getting a refund. I don't know, if we can do anything but wait for an official update or release.
