    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. 

  • Mine does the same thing but it says "please wait while we launch origin" and doesnt do anything after. Ive downloaded origin and it still doesnt open anything. 

  • @LZYKaithere is currently a problem with the origin launcher ...i have been through the same ...the thing that worked for me was to re-download it and the next time i opened it i chose go offline dont update ...if that doesnt work try removing the internet cable and see if origin launches in offline mode... cheers!!!

    @Raider7779311 Cause of star wars battlefront 2 won't launch because Epic online services that have problem and when I reinstall Epic game, Star wars can run again on my pc. Here's how.
    I delete all Epic game files in your PC.
    Reinstall again.
    If you try to do this method doesn't work, I apologize
  • I solved this same issue via advice found on a Reddit thread.  In the Origin folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin.  Set every .exe file associated with Origin to run as Administrator.  There are some hiding in subfolders, so check to make sure you got them all.  You don't have to worry about any of the vcredist labeled ones.  After open Epic and then launch the game.  Origin will complain about the mode it is being started in, you can ignore that.  And the game should then start.  I don't know how or why this works but it does.  EA tech support was very unhelpful, they just sent me forum threads, much like this one.  But I wanted to share this info just in case they send more people to it.
