I just signed into the forum for the first time to try and help,  This was just now happening to me, when I went to investigate it is an on-going issue unfortunately,  so I'll give you some basic steps:

1. Allow Origin and Battlefront through your antivirus (doubt it helps)
2. Verify your game files via steam or origin.
3. Update your Operating System, and then make sure to check for Video driver updates.
4. Put the root EXE file for Battlefront 2 as run as administrator (remember this)
5. If it still does NOT work.  Take the run as administrator away and only have fullscreen optimizations on (THIS ACTUALLY WORKED FOR ME)

After I verified the game was running like intended,  I went ahead and removed the fullscreen optimizations and played the game fully. 

I hope this helps quite a bit as I had to do my own testing as it was not written anywhere I've looked.
