@Dreambluezzz Oh and one thing to try first haha - switch off DX12, to other version
To switch off DX12, if I can't get in the game and have never been in the game, I know I need to access \Documents\SWBFII\settings and alter a value in two different files here. The problem is, I don't have a \settings\ folder in that directory, just the three other folders (CrashDumps, RimeTemp, and Screenshots).
Ideally, to see if that works, I'd need to download someone else's SWBFII settings files. The problem is, the only place I've been able to find where someone uploaded their settings has since removed the files.
Big thanks for helping out @c2a2f2b7f1ca3466, even if this problem wants to stubbornly persist <3
Maybe message this person in forums, sounds like a similar system - and they did the disable dx12.

And/Or when you get on with support chat tell them send me the settings files or else :P
Also... Here is a step support had me do, but I didn't see much change though. Instructions may vary a little - this was for windows 7x64
Another fix attempt:
1.Completely log out and close down Origin
2.Hold down the Windows key and R
3.Type in "%ProgramData%" (without quotes) and click OK
4.Now open the Origin folder.
5.Delete all the files and folders in the Origin folder, except for LocalContent (do not delete this one)
6.Hold down the Windows key and R
7.Type in "%AppData%" (without quotes) and click OK
8.This will take you to a Roaming folder, which is located inside of AppData. Delete the Origin folder
9.Click on the word "AppData" at the top of your window
10.Open the Local folder here
11.Delete the Origin folder listed here
12.Restart your PC and log back into Origin
ugh. so in 2018, this problem has peeked its ugly head up again.
I have talked to 2 chat reps, done almost ALL of the suggested repairing, clean boots, deleting temp files, deleting trial files, running in clean boot, running as Admin but i am still having BF2 crash right after the splash screen...it will not get to the main menu anymore. the game used to run for a few minutes, now it doesn't run at all.
I have done a "reset windows" options to wipe Windows 10 clean and reinstall pretty much all of my system. --- Still no go.
I don't know what happened..if it is a Wondows update that did it, or a update on the game that created the crashes. I am feeling like I am out of options.
@Dreambluezzz Good luck, let me know if you figure out the fix, and/or if it's dx12 - I will add it to my newly ever growing created list :D

@c2a2f2b7f1ca3466Thanks man. Support escalated my case to a specialist team to figure out what's going on. I'll report back once we've made progress.
Let me know as well. I have the same problem. I dont have a ProgramData file they are telling me to look for. Found the roaming file and fixed that. Ran a CCleaner. Redid my host file. and got nothing.
