Game not launching through Steam or EA app

I've tried re-installing SW:BF2, re-installing the EA app, and even re-installing Steam, and running it as administrator as well as even completely rebuilding my computer and it's still not launching. any help would be appreciated

    @OrdinaryDaysLLBDid you check if there is a crash dump under
    "C:\Users\<User>\Documents\STAR WARS Battlefront II"?
    You can delete (before you start the game)
    "C:\Users\<User>\Documents\STAR WARS Battlefront II\settings"
    and restart the game.

    These files are re-created after each restart.
    This might solve your issue (once it helped me in a similar situation).

    There's nothing for Battlefront 2 in C:\Users\<User>\Documents or C:\Users\<User>\Documents\My Games. The application refuses to even launch. it just goes to the EA app, then doesn't boot the game

    @OrdinaryDaysLLBProbably I did not formulate my intention well.
    You replace <User> with your windows login name. This is the standard <Documents> folder of Windows. All windows installations has this folder.
    During uninstall, these files might not be removed. Therefore, when you reinstall the game, the old files may cause the issue!

  • I'm having the same exact problem, it's really infuriating me now. Did you find a solution?
