Forum Discussion
@Punjara i found a fix for it
Fix:
Make sure the game is installed (Anywhere it doesnt matter)
Make sure Origin and Epic Game Store are both closed (Not running in task bar closed)
Uninstall Origin from control panel
Open Epic Games Store, locate SWBF2 (It was showing as uninstalled for me)
Launch the game

- @H1ryWS That 'fix' was already mentioned on page 2 of this topic. YRMV, it did not work for me and several others here.
how did you locate the game in epic store , every time i hit upon it it tries to install origin even though i have the game in the epic games folder...
i have tried everything guys , last 7 hours i have tried everything from stereo audio, to clean boot, to all drivers update , changed all settings and tried windowed mode or locked fps , run as admin , make exception in the antivirus , delete the files in local and approaming folders etc ,...the multiplayer plays ok ,. sometimes it crashes but singleplayer just crashes every time in the first seconds the game launches .... i have had issues with games before but this is beyond everything i have encountered. If you have enything else to suggest ....
@jefferson10008 Do you play on a laptop? if yes then the game might use the wrong graphic card and then crash.I had a similar issue with dragon age and I had to specify the right graphic card under NVIDIA control panel for that paticular game.
- @Atroxfidens no ,i am trying to play it on a pc with the 1050ti graphics card.... the last thing i wull try is to re-download origin one more time..if it doesnt work i will give up and thats it ...enough hours of my life have been spent on this and even though the game is many years on the market it still has a lot of bugs and lags and performance issues ...
- @jefferson10008 You need Origin installed for this game to work. It is a dumb design, but you need both Epic and Origin installed and you need an account for both.
Good Luck!Just more proof that nothing EA is involved with is even worth it for free.
I'll be taking this opportunity to finally remove all Epic and EA content from my system.
