Game Not Launching
I click play, origin minimizes and a few seconds later origin comes up with no game loaded. I've tried repairing and deleting the document folder. Any Ideas? My pc has the specs to run the game good...

EA Staff (Retired)Hey @PIasma9
Could you please try to clear Origin cache as well?
If that doesn't help - uninstall Origin the hard way and download the latest version from our website. Before launching the game as admin, remember to close down background applications as well.

Yeeeaaah, basically nothing (deleting folder from Documents; deleting .exe and then repairing; reinstalling Origin) helps. It just refuses to launch again next day. Maybe devs should consider to allow playing without this, ahem, unstable software of EA's. Cause being 8 years old Origin still performs these great tricks.
What worked for me was to launch Origin itself as admin and then I can run the game 🙂

Hi all,
Sorry to see you're having troubles. Could you run an Origin Error Report and post the Report ID in this thread? Here's how you do that:

It will help us see what's going on.
Thank you,
Well it's working now, so that wouldn't really help anyone.
What I'm guessing it was is that during one of the more recent updates, they updated BattleEye (or whatever anti-cheat they're using) but it needed to run as admin at least once to finish it's setup, and launching the game as admin doesn't launch the anti-cheat as admin, as Origin is what launches it.
Granted, this is all a guess, but the "Origin as Admin and launch game once" worked, and might be worth giving out as a possible fix on situations like this where games don't launch.
