Failed to Launch. Error on EA Side

Unable to get this fixed.  Ive tried everything I could find...no joy.

  1. Uninstalled/reinstalled both Game and EA launcher multiple times
  2. Environmental Variables fix (looked for the GAME_xxx file, didnt have it)
  3. All drivers updated
  4. Everything set to administrator mode
  5. Compatibility mode enabled/disabled/enabled
  6. Uninstalled C++ and reinstalled multiple times
  7. Nvidia App core settings changes
  8. Repaired launcher & game
  9. Flushed DNS
  10. Lit a candle
  11. Power cycled the house
  12. Hacked my neighbors wifi
  13. Registered my sister to learn more about AARP

 

EA...could use some assistance.

  • Got it working!

    Ok here is what I did.

    1. Uninstalled EA, an old Origin folder and the Epic Launcher of old.
    2. Made sure to run the EA App installer as an admin
    3. Installed Battlefront II
    4. Got a new error...something to the effect of "you PC doesnt have an app that can open this link"
    5. After some searching online...turns out i bought this game via EPIC years ago.
    6. Downloaded the Epic Launcher and ran the exe in Admin mode
    7. Looks like I needed both EA & Epic Launchers
    8. Ran the game and it worked.

  • exact same problem. its defo something on ea side with the drm. have game pass/ea play every other game works except battlefront 2, and doubt they have any interest in fixing it. i think its something to do with game pass giving access to celebration edition, but game in ea play is base.
