Crash on Launch

I recently bought Battlefront 2 and have had trouble getting into the game, with it crashing at the first loading screen before even reaching the title screen. After I spent a great amount of time researching, I found that, based on some fixes found on Answers HQ, I should go into the Boot Options for the game and enable DirectX 12 where it was previously disabled. For note, I do indeed have DirectX 12, I've checked to make sure. This nearly worked (as in the loading screen actually got to progress for a minute more), however it still ended up in a crash. It was here where I noticed going back to Boot Options that Origins had re-disabled DirectX 12 (set it back to 0) after I launched it. I tried this many more times after this, re-enabling DirectX 12, only for it to be swiftly disabled the moment I tried to launch the game. This makes me feel, especially since it nearly got to the title screen with DirectX 12 properly enabled, that this must be the issue, though, for all I know it could be something else entirely.

 

For reference, I have repaired the game many times, reinstalled it once, and reinstalled origin once. 

 

It would be a great help if someone could help me out with this as I was very excited to play this game this morning, and now I have spent the grand majority of the day trying to actually get it running.

    Could be the windows account, it's one of the steps that we do recommend to try out. @Bleck25556 
     
    Definitely worth trying a new Windows account with Admin rights and then start up the game.
