glad to see you got it working again
I purchased the game directly from EA on PC, and since being upgraded to EA App, SWBF2 would fail to launch.
Today my cousin, who is a PC engineer, worked out where the problem is. We opened the EA App on my PC using a different local Windows User Account, and then tried starting SWBF2, and it launched and ran with no problems at all. When we switched back to my Windows User Account, the non-launch problem persisted, and still is at time of printing.
As such it would appear that the non--launch issue is caused by corruption somewhere in the Windows User Profile files. We could not work out where, but at least it narrows down the problem.
Well here we are again... I used the Origin hack until EA forced me again to install the EA app two weeks ago. Surprisingly SWBF2 finally worked and launched via the EA app... GREAT! The problem of EA confusing my Origin/EA bought standard edition with my freebie Epic linked Celebration edition solved I thought with a sigh of relief...
However, today, two weeks after playing the game no problem, I started up the EA app to play my bought at Origin/EA SWBF2 and noticed immediately that new text had been added to my library stating that my SWBF2 is the 'Standard Edition accessed through Epic'... which is, of course, incorrect. Not surprisingly, the same thing as before happened and Epic will not let me play the game even if I go through the EA opening of Epic, etc, as i don't own the standard edition with them.
To say I am utterly sick of EA and want my money back is an understatement.
Can anyone help?
I have tried to contact EA and report this but they won't give me access to directly contact them to report this continuing issue with their rubbish app and refer me to this forum. I'm not spending 4 hours waiting on their telephone line to be told their tech people are working on it and contact them again in a few weeks.
All I play is SWBF2 and EA keep causing me distress and upset ☹️
Yeah, I've been having this issue for the past few weeks yet nothing has been done, opened up a forum a few minutes ago. honestly most likely going to get the same responses you have. at this point, I'm going to give up as there seems to be no honesty on ea parts that they are * up and can't admit it. Part of me is considering on just purchasing the game on Epic and playing it through there, Yet again there may be an issue where this arises instead on Epic games. EA games creating new things and faking up is no surprise to me.
