Hi, I just downloaded the Celebration edition of the game from Epic Store...After completing the download, I click on start/launch on Epic game or origin...game doesn't start. No error or prompt...it just doesnt react ? Is it a game or is it the game ? Can't find any solution to this problem..Please if you guys know any solution to this problem...just help.
i cant even download the game past 17%, also through origin/EPIC
I also had this problem and finally found the solution. It seems that origin must be installed in the C: drive for the game to launch.
Here were my steps to fixing it:
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
It will reinstall Origin into the C: drive and then boot up the game without installing the whole thing again
Let me know if this also works for you!
thanks al lot matey..worked for me..brill advice :D
Tried all of the suggestions with the same result.
Game runs for 10-15 seconds with a windowed black screen (about half my desktop). I see it open in task manager, then it closes itself out.
Uninstalled Origin - Deleted all files in AppData/Program Data - Then reinstalled Origin. Nothing.
Uninstalled Epic Games launcher and reinstalled. Nothing.
Set Origin/Epic Games/BF2 all to launch as admin. Nothing. Tried in different compatibility modes. Zip.
Ran the file checker repair option in Origin for BF2. Nada.
I’ve also tried launching it separately from the desktop, launching it from Epic games, and from Origin. No dice.
Also, I’m curious if this has something to do with it -There was a suggestion in the link below (option 3) to edit 2 files in the BF2 settings folder in your documents. Thing is, there is no settings folder with those files to edit? Not sure why though? Maybe because the game has yet to actually launch yet?
If anyone comes up with any other ideas, I’m all ears...
*As a side note to one of the earlier posts, I bought BF2 on steam during the winter sale about a week ago, and had the same issue of the game not wanting to launch through Origin/Steam. I tried multiple times to troubleshoot with no luck, and ended up requesting a refund. Since I now got it for free from the Epic store, I’m not butthurt. Just lame that I can’t get it to run.
So, Downloaded and installed again and tried everything, every solution here. Again...same result. Game was playable while downloading...played the arcade. After download finished...it doesn't launch anymore. Tried every possible solution from removing cahe, even deleting the origin folders, launching with elevated permissions (even the origin with elevated permission), Installed all the VC and DirectX, tried launching from Epic launcher, etc, everything...Game doesn't launch anymore. lol...I think even Devs don't know the solution, other vise someone should have suggested the solution. Uninstalling...
@valsi461Your SWBF 2 work? Can you play with this
Yes! the problem is with origin. I got celebration edition on steam and it didn't work, and then it did work for a while, and now it don't work again. I click start on steam, it opens origin, and then origin closes or just ping pongs back to the main page. can't start the game. Origin is TRASHHHHHHHH!
